Heard a real doozy a couple weekends ago, after ordering a nice craft Tripel (9% abv): "That beer is awesome! But be careful, it's like drinking a whole bottle of Cabernet..." The glass was maybe 16 ounces. SMH

Awesome. My friends live in Long Beach so maybe ill make the hike. Thanks for the input!

Hello SoCal: I'll be in irvine next week for a work trip, and would love to look up some rare or otherwise awesome beer while there. Anyone have any suggestions where I should check out? Pliny is probably out of the question, but any tips would be great. Thanks folks.

Wow! Other than this brew being VERY dry (1.006/7 fg), it is quite delicious!

That makes me tear up a little...

Try a jolly pumpkin bam biere. Mmmm

Not sure what trade value might be, but I've got an itch for ZD...

I check party source regularly. I've had decent luck with large formats (found Arctic Panzer Wolf, Dreadnaught, Blackheart, and Apocalypse Cow there), but I'm really hoping to find some sixers. Really, ZD is a dream, but I'm hoping Gumballhead 6-packs can be a relatively staple beer in my...

Thanks! Been here since January. It's been good so far. I have had the opportunity to drink 3 floyds on tap - ZD, AK, GBH, pride and joy... But I'd like to pick up some bottles. Since I have to go to indiana, I assume it's easier to find. Maybe I'm wrong!

Well, I'm actually living in Cincinnati... Still haven't updated that. Really I'm just wondering if anyone knows of nice little shops in Milan/Osgood/Lawrenceburg to check. Thanks though. I don't know why I never took a trip to FFF living in GR. Oh wait.... Founders was just easier. Ha

So I've recently been informed that my work will be requiring me to travel to Southern Indiana (Milan and Osgood, slightly west of Lawrenceburg). I'm looking to capitalize on this fact by purchasing some FFF beers while I am there. Does anyone from the area have good suggestions of beer...

Yea, I'm going to stick with this dry hop mix. All 3 ounces. Side note: I had to use amalyse enzyme last night, as it hadn't moved from 1.024. Eeeeesh.

Well, had to throw some amalyse enzyme at this brew tonight. Hope it works. It was stuck at 1.024 : (

May do that. I have to hope that it dries out enough first though. If it ends at 1.020 I may have to do something creative/fixy... A la Brett or amalyse enzyme.

I really wish there was some headway made on this... *Drinking a Double Trouble as I typed this*

Well, it's at 1.028 now, 3.5 days after pitching. Not sure if that's on track or not, but I'm a bit worried. It's got a lot of gunk in the sample, so I'm going to let it sit over night and take a reading with a bit clearer sample. Fingers crossed...

Well, I swapped out the 1/4oz of simcoe from a 60-minute to a FWH, but all else remained the same. I jacked up the mash temp (about 165 for 20 minutes) thanks to a hard to read thermometer, but then brought the temp down to about 145 for 40 minites. Aye aye aye. Either way, it smelled...

Hmm... it tastes good, but you seriously have to pour it safely because it's really yeasty and weird if you aren't careful.

Picked up a case while in Michigan over the weekend. $48 but well worth it. I do have to say, though, that while yeast and gunk don't bother me in a Belgian ale, in a pale, not my friend. I mention this because there is a ton of sediment in these bottles. Make sure you refrigerate these...

Here's the planned brew for the weekend. Looking for any comments, critiques, or suggestions that may take this beer to great heights! Pale ale! American Pale Ale 6 gallons All Grain 1.046~OG → 1.010~FG → 4.7%ABV 44 IBU 5.8°L SRM Yeast Fermentis - Safale US-05 US-05...
