So I'm heading to the east coast from Arizona to brew some beer, and got to thinking about different ways to get ingredients to the brewout. I like my LHBS and would love to take one of their kits with me. They offer shipping, but I wanted to check out the thoughts from y'all on flying the kit...

Not sure how many hockey fans are out there, but those of us who choose a different path from the "normal" for our sports entertainment, I'm in a dismal mood this holiday season - I love living near a NHL team, and have in every city we've moved to so far. Well, my luck might change pretty...

Anyone in Arizona up to a get together sometime soon? I'm thinking some night next week, maybe at Papago - I'll toss out the first idea of next Thursday evening - any takers?

Ok, my father was a big fan of this stuff. From what I can gather, it was from Schmidt's, and was last made somewhere in the late 70's. Anyone know where I can dig up a clone of such an old beer? Of course, if the taste was due to the water in Norristown PA, then I guess I can just soak...

I'm all set up in my fridge with a 5# CO2 tank and one keg attached. Last night I went ahead and put 12 PSI on the gauge, put it all in the fridge, and planned on leaving it at 40 degrees for a few days - worked for the first keg I did. I checked it this morning the high pressure gauge reads...
