Woo, hope I win this one!!

I know its too late for your trip, OP, but last month I did the Brewvana Conoisseur tour with Christian and Tom, the head guys from Hopworks. I highly suggest their tours - great stops and really cool behind-the-scenes tours of local breweries. http://www.experiencebrewvana.com/

There's a fairly new GF brewery in Portland, OR: Harvester Brewing http://www.harvesterbrewing.com/ I had the opportunity to try their beers at a recent festival, and I was really impressed. They use chestnuts for the majority of their grain bill, and I think they work far better...

I toured 4 breweries here in Portland a couple weeks ago, one of them being Widmer. While not on the scale of BMC, their system is almost completely automated, and 4-6 batches go into a single fermenter (1250 barrels). They test at every stage of brewing to ensure the batch is going right, and...

There was a show on Discovery (I think) that featured Sam from Dogfish Head, collecting traditional beer recipes. There was also a special called "How Beer Saved the World", also on Discovery.

I just bottled five gallons of Irish red ale (1.047 SG, 1.010 FG, 27 IBUs, 17.5 SRM) and five gallons of Scottish Heavy 70/- ale (1.037 OG, 1.009 FG, 15 IBUs, 13.7 SRM). God I wish I had a kegerator :\

I did all of that, but when it goes to actually open the bsmx file it force closes. Adeering, I've been submitting the crash reports - do you receive those?

I'm still not able to load recipes from Dropbox - I'm able to get to the folder, but when I try to open an exported BSMX recipe, the app force closes. :(

Adeering, the app won't let me sync with dropbox - says it's still in development mode

Great news, Adeering! Can't wait to load it on my tablet and donate the $$ for your hard work!

Have you looked into in-app purchases to take care of the ad removal? Make it a free app, and then offer to remove the ads forever for $10 or something. Then, its a single APK you're dealing with, which means one entry on the store, one pool for reviews, etc. EDIT: Also, I think having a trial...

What about using number stickers in silver or something else that would stand out against the black of the existing handles? Something like this: http://www.onlinelabels.com/Products/OL237SF.htm If you can find the right size, they could be applied directly to the front of the handle where...

I may be biased because I've been researching them for a new recipe, but the lighter Scottish ales seem underrepresented. Comercially, Scottish Lights aren't even exported afaik.

Right now I'm a little over halfway through the boil on a Scottish Heavy 70/- that I'm hoping to enter in a club Scottish and Irish ales contest next month. The peated malt in it smells fantastic!

If someone will point me to info on how to properly ship beer, I'd be more than happy to do a beer trade with you! I'm in the Portland, OR area so I have access to all of the (subjectively) best beers in the country.

These prizes are epic! I've been eyeing the BadAss brew stands lately...how sweet would it be to win one?!

May as well hop up to one of these: Solo backpack sprayer http://amzn.to/y0W63q I had to walk my family's wrecking yard when I was a kid with one of those full of herbicide, killing off weeds. I think it'd be quite effective at mass sanitation, though!

Harkening back to the glory days of PC roleplaying games, here's a work-in-progress for an upcoming super-pale ale:

I need a carboy cleaner because of something I experienced tonight: after racking from a glass carboy to a bottling bucket, I found that the spice tincture I added to my imperial pumpkin ale had created a nasty ring around the top of the carboy, just below the curvature. Like the Cat in the Hat...
