I don't know what a Spec's store is, but if you find yourself in Richmond VA for some reason a fellow home brewer is always welcome! I only charge a six pack of your best homebrew!
yeah... took a couple of hours to get them all out of their old boxes, organize them, and find a good way to reorganize them in new boxes. I feel a bit violated with you having "mental images" of me in your beer porn! HAHAHA!!!
Are you using whole leaf or pellets? I use pellets and just throw them in (no hop bag needed). I dump the whole thing into primary and it will settle out with all of the sediment!
I used to bartend at a beer bar and we would try different blends. Stoudts Double IPA and Stoudts Fat Dog Oatmeal Stout work really well. We called it a Stoudts Stacker. However, I would say I'm usually a beer purest!
I also hate hipsters and there are more of these douches in Richmond than you can imagine (VCU is swimming with them). If I'm @ a bar that doesn't have craft, I'm drinking bourbon or nothing.
Trigger, you would choose PBR over SNP?
