The Jolly Pumpkin brews are all magnificent. He is one of the best brewers in America IMO.

Jolly Pumpkin has some fantastic brews! I am literally minutes away from this small brewery, so message me if you are interested in trying some of these fine beers! http://www.jollypumpkin.com

Expensive? I can get it for like 8 or 9 bucks a sixer...

I froze my Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner and it tasted the same after it thawed out..I know it isn't the same but just thought I would post it...

Wow, I used to work there when I was in high school...before I knew anything about beer...

I feel that I have a firm grasp on the American styles of beer but am interested in German, English, etc. Any recommendation? Although I have a couple of nice beer shops around with a large selection, what kind of "wordly" beers can usually be found? Any suggestions?

These are the posts that I wish I never saw because I cannot stop reading them! First, I must admit that I have a hop addiction...with that said my favorites would be: DFH 90. Founders Devil Dancer Triple IPA, Bell's HopSlam, Bell's Two Hearted, and Stone's Ruination IPA. Now I am going to...

Wasnt Sam Adams contracted for a long time? I thought they recently built a brewery in Boston...

A four pack for $10? They are at least $5.00 for a single. Devil dancer and hopslam are both great too. I was very surprised at how balanced the Devil Dancer was, what an awesome beer.

My LHBS told me to dry hop in the last 3 days or so of primary fermentation. They told me the activity in the beer would absorb more aroma. Note the last three days though, fermentation should be slowed down so the CO2 doesn't take much of the aroma away.

I just bottled the BB IPA. I decided to dry hop it. Of course I had to try a little bit of it, I could not believe how good a warm, non-carbonated beer could be!

Homebrew and March Madness is going to happen today. I get to bottle my Dry hopped IPA, clean up a bit, and then plop my butt on the couch with lots of beer! I can't wait.

90m is right on, one of my favorite IPA's!

Would it be correct to not do this if you wanted to bottle? I am guessing not because there would not be enough yeast to carbonate..?

I wish I could have...kinda hard to find cascades now a days :)

I have a quick question. My dry hopped IPA has been in the secondary for close to three weeks now and is ready to be bottled. I am concerned about one thing, there are still some floaties from the hop pellets on top of the beer. I don't really want this in the bottle...is this a problem? If so...

Actually I live in Jenison just like you!

I don't bake, my wifey does :mug:

I had the same problem with my first extracat brew. I believe my problem came when I airated the wort. Airating the wort created lots of foam, but I just dumped it all into the primary. Once fermentation began the airlock filled up with krausen. For my second and third brews I have airated my...

I have never wanted to leave my oven on that long...
