Travelling there for work next week - looking for suggestions for great food and for fun places with great beer selection, etc.

Any great places for beer? We seem to go to the same couple of places in downtown Sarasota every year, nothing special (Gator club, etc), but it'd be great to get some pointers from a local. I'll be down there this Sunday and leave Wednesday afternoon. Also, is the Cheetah club still...

I've seen a few posts and recipes with rye as an ingredient in the brew. I've never had a rye beer. I've had rye bread, don't particularly care for it. I've read about Rye whiskey but never actually saw it in any bar or liquor store. So.... I inquired about Rye at the liquor store last...

Around here the Drop Kick Murphys are on the radio a LOT. I know they're a local band, and I like them a lot, just curious if this is just a local thing or if they're getting air play in other geographies (starting to become more of a national act?). Having lived away from here from 92-06...

About to place an order, realized a promo code would be nice - anyone have a discount code for Northern Brewer (current code, not expired)?

Guys, not that I don't ever take time off from this board, but has anyone seen or talked to Tony (from Saugus, MA) in a while? Seems he used to post quite a bit and I don't think I've seen any posts from him in the last several months.

SWMBO is HUGE fan of buttery flavor in Chardonnay. I need some coaching. Looking to buy one of the less expensive kits, maybe Vintner's Reserve, and make a Chardonnay but I'd like to change up the yeast or fermenting temp, etc. to achieve a noticeable buttery flavor. HELP!? Tips/pointers or...

Anyone know where I can get a basic kit at reasonable price? - wanting the Oetiker clamp pliers in a plastic container with about 3-5 varied sizes of clamps (selection) in the container (maybe 10-20 of each size clamp). Good source for replacement clamps would also be nice. Biggest factor -...

Anyone else notice this situation with their Sanyo conversion? I have a 4912 conversion w/2 tap tower, and the door shelving removed and replaced with chalkboard material. From what I can tell the door seals very well. I went about one month straight or longer without opening the door, this...

I have been looking these over with interest lately. Any FJ Cruiser owners here? I'd like to get some candid feedback from an owner, not sure I'll get the whole picture on one of the forums where everyone is stoked about their new vehicle. Post up, please!

This looks REALLY good, although you pay cover and also pay per-beer, the list of cask conditioned ales looks great, check out the site: http://www.nerax.org/ Anyone from the Boston area wanting to go, I'm thinking I might go to Thursday night's session? Event is in Somverville, Davis...

My truck had a small leak at the rear window, that I didn't know about. Now with all the rain we've had over the past few weeks there's a really musty smell in the truck. It's a 4 door Avalanche, and pretty new, but way past warranty. Anyway, I found a spot on the carpet in the rear of the...

I can't figure out what style this fits into. Maybe an ESB that's americanized? Or is it an APA? Here's what I've put together for a recipe, haven't brewed it yet: For a 5.5 gallon batch, will do 2.5 gallon boil: 0.25 lb Briess Special Roast 0.5 lb Simpson Medium Crystal 0.5 lb Briess...

I still want to do an ale with a grapefruit taste. I just bought 1 oz Chinook pellets and 4 oz Cascade (fresh) along with 4 oz Hallertau (fresh) when I was at LHBS on Friday. I have 5 lb wheat DME and 5 lb extra light DME, along with some leftover Spalt and Perle hops. Planning to do another...

I just purchased some fresh hops (freshops) at my LHBS -- do I use them in the same weight as pellets when a weight for hops is provided in a recipe (assuming the AA are the same)? I tried to search for this and didn't come up with anything, appreciate any help.

Super simple non-traditional pierogi dish that's out of this world yummy! I had this as a side dish at a friend's house last week. We had roasted chicken, salad, garlic bread, and these pierogi's. The variety of pierogis were some type of cheddar cheese and potato stuffing. She thawed...

There are several of us that are just getting back into brewing after a Hiatus -- Just leave a note here: name, time away from brewing, date of first batch "back", etc. Might be interesting to include age/gender - someone implied "midlife crisis sportscar-alternative"!

Well, I left some b-brite or idodophor mix, not sure, in my primary bucket for about 5 weeks. Now I've washed and rinsed the bucket, and let it air out all day, and it smells very strongly of sanitizer. Am I safe to use this bucket for my hefe to primary ferment in? If it were a heavy and...

When mounting tower to top of kegerator (Sanyo 4912), do you use a gasket? I got the ACU tower, didn't come w/a gasket -- are most folks leaving it gasket-less or using something as gasket>?
