Harpoon's leviathan. It's WAY too full bodied for me, and the alcohol taste was way too boozy. I gave 3 of them away...

Oh no! I'll have to go just as soon as work gets off, then! Maybe I'll build a fermentation chamber while I'm at it...

Interesting. So what yall are saying is that I may just have to drink it all this weekend, so that the off flavor doesn't progress? ;)

Well guys, what's up with this? I brewed an American amber ale back in November or December of last year, and it was definitely a nice amber color. Due to my procrastinating buying keg equipment, a death in the family, and subsequent depression, I just got around to kegging it last...

I finally made it to the bar, and drank all 18 they had in stock, lol. Not all in one night, of course. It was a really good beer, though. I've liked all abita's I've tried so far (except purple haze, but I'd probably like it now).

In my local area, you have to drive about 50 minutes for any kind of selection craft beers besides new Belgium fat tire, or Sam adams that makes it to Walmart, 1 nearby grocery store has a few different beers. Actually, I just thought of a Winn-Dixie that's 30 minutes away. I'll have to go...

Thanks for all the input. I guess my title should have included "that bmc drinkers might possibly try". I'm going to take the list as mentioned above, plus the "taster packs". But, hoppity, I've never run by a liquor store that can offer tastings. I guess it's possible, but I didn't even...

So... Franken beer was pretty nasty the other night when I tried a bottle. I dumped the bottle. Gonna give it more time, though.

I'm making the switch to primitive electric because of this. I'll only use propane for sparge water now.

Exactly. The one beer besides bmc that can be found in lots of places around here is new Belgium fat tire. I was thinking people who like fat tire may be more inclined to "go out on a limb" for their beer styles.

That's just the problem though, in my area, people just don't drink craft beer, or even know about it. So the distributors will be like "people buy bmc", and nothing new ever hits the shelves for people to try. She's ordered turbodog and Mississippi mud for me before, and they've done decent...

I talked to a local lottery /beer store owner last night and she said she would like to order beers other than bmc. I offered to write up a list of different beers, and she seemed enthusiastic. I started to write a list, but quickly realized my own taste in beer is really different from other...

Thanks for the speedy replies. I'll post what I decide to do when I do it. The only reason I'm considering this is because I want to free up a fermentor, and don't want to bottle, or buy all of the hardware for kegging in one go. I'll probably end up bottling. ..

So, kegs normally need an initial burst of pressure to seal? I bought them refurbished, but they were delivered pressurized, and one even has a bit of orange Fanta in it (I messed with the posts just looking at it) if it was pressurized with co2, does anyone know of a way to transfer gas from...

I've bottled several batches now, but want to move to kegs. I have 2 pin lock cornies, but no quick connects. I want to go ahead and put a batch in one of my kegs so I'll have a fermentation vessel free. Could I keg, and add sugar to naturally carbonate in the keg, then put it on c02 when I...

At a local gas station last night, they had a "special " on Sam adams rebel ipa. There were only 3 16oz cans of it, DENTED TO HELL AND BACK! Seriously looked like some kids played baseball with them or something. The special was "buy 2 for $3, or get 1 for $1.5!" I thought it was so funny...

I'd try real buffalo, though. I know a guy who went on safari in Africa. He said the guides were just as scared of water buffalo in tall grass as they were of predators.

35% hog and 65% venison. "Wild" or "tame" hog works, even though there's no real difference lol. Add some jalapeños and white cheese to the grinder and it's an awesome combination if you like sweet heat! :)

Well, the menu is elegant enough to not warrant alcoholic drinks. I'm jealous of you to the utmost degree!
