You can, head up to the Tasty Weasel in Longmont, they have all the big Cigar City beers, some even on tap. Jai Alai in Colorado, woo hoo!

In like Flyn!

Another thumbs up on the linked post. I followed this last night and my keezer is working perfectly.

Also in most cases the starter is to get the yest cell count up, not necessarily to pitch highly active yeast. In my case I like to decant the liquid off a starter, big or small. The small starters are usually used in beers that might not have as much going on in the flavor profile and I would...

Code please. Thanks so much!

Few quick notes on your process. -Try not to use scented dish washing soap, try using Oxyclean with a good rinse, or go to one of the local brew shops and get some cleaners developed for brewing (OneStep, PBW, StraightA) and follow the associated directions. -As previously mentioned StarSan is...

I really wish there was a way to see the other scores for the people that were in your category. Just my curiosity, but it would be nice to know.

When I lived in Abq. Chama was also fairly decent, good food too.

I got a 27 on a spiced cherry dubbel in category 20A, and a 39 on a bourbon vanilla porter in category 23A. Decent score on the porter but I doubt I moved on since 23A is a well populated category, but it was great to get feedback.

I also received my score sheets from KC on Saturday.

Well I hope your happy, just ordered 3lbs of hops, should be good for a while I hope. I am looking forward to playing with some of the variety's, thanks for the great prices.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am supposed to put 10+ lbs of cherries into this beer in 4ish weeks so I'll wait till then to see if I want to invest in the cherries, or just cellar the beer. I had been thinking that the positive pressure should keep most nasty things out, but if not I'll...

So I have learned a lesson, don't brew right before taking a vacation. I brewed a couple batches on the 4th, then left on the 5th for 3 days. While I was gone one of the beers blew it's top, launched the airlock like 5 feet and covered the carboy with a bunch of overflow. I did clean up the...

The Fruitcake Old Ale is delicious. I highly recommend you brew it ASAP, it just keeps tasting better and better the older it gets. I have some that is about 11 months old and it is awesome! Also be prepared, this was by far the most expensive recipe I have ever made, but it was well worth. I...

I think he means the Spiced Dunkel Weizenbock from Willum, the tasting notes are similar to what I tasted.

I used 12oz apricots, 24oz cranberries, 12oz cherries, 12oz raisins, I think, sadly I took some bad notes. I like the taste of the beer with these fruits. THe only thing I would change would be to use a larger secondary since the fruit displaced so much area. Also I would make sure and use a...

Awesome! Thanks a bunch usfmikeb. It looks like an interesting recipe, I'll give it a try. EDIT Any reason why 1 type of cherries is pitted and the other not?

Usfmikeb I have had a request to try and remake the spiced cherry dubbel. My wife loves it and wants a bunch more, and who am I to deny a pretty lady. If I can get the recipe it would be appreciated.

Awesome, can't wait to try em Willum. Thanks!

I just saw in the newest issue of Zymurgy that Sierra Nevada us releasing a Rye IPA in January. Unsure of the hop profile the add just says "bright citrusy flavors of whole-cone hops". I am planning on giving it a try to compare to this brew.
