I throw a big 4th of July party every year and try to get a special beer for it, in addition to a keg of HB. I'd like to score 3-4 four packs of heady and can make it worth your while if you're into big stouts. We can do a straight trade or I can pay for the heady and shipping and still send you...

Looking for coffee, regal rye and maybe rare or prop. Have multiples of Black Tuesday, chocolate rain and KBS plus other cellar stuff and philly distro. Let me know what we can do.

I'm planning out a big RIS (BCBS clone https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=223746) and I am curious about others' experience with S-05 in big beers. My plan is to shoot for an 8 gallon batch with an OG of 1.150 and a FG of 1.040 and pitching four packets of S-05 into an o2 infused...

In addition to brewing I love to use my little free time to make sawdust. About 4 years ago, before my first son was born, I made a nice wooden rocking horse based off one I saw online. Now my second son's 2nd birthday is approaching and my brother's wife is pregnant, so two more horses have...

I know a lot of folks here like collecting glassware, so here's your chance to show it off! I'll go first And can't forget the moose mugs :D

Don't know the sales price, $90? $100? What will it take to land one of these shipped to Philly? FT: Westy XII Cascade Vine RR Sours (supp, cons, sanct) Backyard Rye Tired Hands growlers Black Note 50/50 eclipse corn whiskey (2012)

Brewed a saison that went from 1.069 down to 1.002. Bottled half normally, then I put a WL vial of brett b in the bottling bucket along with 2.7 oz of dextrose and bottled 3 gallons this way. That was 7/9/2014 (almost three weeks ago). Tried one last night and it looked like this: Tasted...

Here is my Ward Labs report for Plymouth Meeting, PA: pH - 8.1 Na - 4.3 K - 2 Ca - 73 Mg - 30 CaCO3 - 308 Nitrate - 16.4 (adj) Sulfate - 24 (adj) Cl - 113 CO3 - 9 HCO3 - 257 T.Alkalinity - 226 I'm new to water chemistry and my first thoughts are that Cl is high, Sulfates are...

I'm ten days into primary on a big RIS and I have a mason jar of 1.5oz oak chips with two vanilla beans and ~4oz of whiskey in the fridge. I think I only want the beer to sit on the oak/vanilla/whiskey for about two weeks but I'm not sure about how/when to do it. I want to let primary go for 3-4...

I'm a huge fan of Mad Elf and found out about Naked Elf too late to get some. Is anyone willing to sell or trade me some Naked Elf?

Not sure where the current beer snob thread is, but I just had to share this: I'm not one that has to have a specific type of glass for each style of beer, but this was ridiculous. My wife and I went to a chain restaurant called Redstone. They now offer some nice craft beer options and I...

Anyone going to the release later today? I'm going to pick up a case (hopefully). Of their three wine-barrel-aged releases, this is the one I'm most excited about as I love golden monkey.

I brewed Eschatz's Two Hearted Ale clone on 1/12 and kegged it on 2/3. I've brewed it before with great results but made a couple minor changes. Recipe: 11# 2-row 2# Vienna 1/2# Carapils 1/2# C60 1oz centennial FWH 1.25 oz centennial at 15, 5, 1 min 1.25 oz centennial dry hop in keg The...

To play off of Halbrust's thread, this is for celebrities that most people are probably into, but just don't do it for you. I'll start it off with Angelina Jolie. I know everyone is in love with her, but I've always thought she was overrated.

I boil the starter for five minutes, remove from heat and add a little water mixed with yeast nutrient too soon and cause a volcano of starter wort on my stove. EVERY TIME! Maybe I'll learn one day...

I was skeptical of a FG reading on my Irish Stout at bottling so I took a reading of water at 60F and it read 1.005. It is the basic triple scale hydrometer that came with my first brewing kit. Can I just subtract 5 points from all readings, or do I need a new hydrometer? Is there a more...

I had the good fortune of getting one bottle each of Westvleteren blond, 8, and 12 during a recent trip to Belgium. I drank the bottle of blond and immediately wished I had tried to harvest the yeast. Does anyone know if it's the same yeast used in the 8 and/or 12? If it is, can I use the...

Will be in Kaiserslautern, Germany which is about an hour from Frankfurt. Does anyone know where/how I can buy some hops to bring back with me?

So I was showing my brother how to brew and we were drinking a previous batch (I never have more than two while brewing, and this is why). To make a long story short, while conducting the mash, I was looking at the Celsius side of the thermometer and so I mashed an IPA at 52c (125f) rather...
