    Massachusetts 5 Gallon AG brewery and extras

    Brewery fire sale/garage sale. Sad to say but everything needs to go. Prices are negotiable but I need local pickup or relatively close. (I will be in NH next week if that works.) Let just assume 25-30% off higher end products and 50-75% of the cheap stuff....even more. The more you buy the more...

    Possible new/alternative Keg monitor

    Plenty of solutions out there, and even basic ones, like a scale. This is for a propane tank but nice it works on weight, might be usable with kegs, thought I'd throw it out there, saw it in a store on Friday: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M43L4L0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

    Passing through Providence Tomorrow...

    Doing a little research, I'm guessing Nikki's is the best liquor store to hit up on my way to a wedding? Suggestions welcome.

    This is not an April Fool's Joke

    Can't believe my eyes when I saw the price tag for this automated 10 gallon system: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=12157&promo=Home-Living-Kitchen-Entertaining&catid=140 You could certainly show this to the SO if they question how much you spend on homebrew equipment.

    Can I make a 1 liter starter in a 1 liter flask?

    Whoops! Just bought a stir plate, the whole 9 yards. Mistakenly bought a 1 liter flask. Can I make a 1 liter starter in it with the stir plate on the whole time? Searched and searched but could not find any info other than most use a 2 liter flask.

    Melody Tent Brewers Festival

    Anyone have info on this Melody Tent Brewers festival in August. I got a ticket for father's day but most of my buddies are suspect as there is so little info besides "more than 40 brewers."

    Tips for the Infamous "super hoppy" IPA/IIPA

    I've seen so many threads on here with issues with homebrewers trying to commercial-level west-coast-style hop bombs I thought I would create this thread to post my tips and add others as people respond. NOTE: I do not claim to be the worlds greatest brewer nor an expert on the techniques of...

    Decent article on "craft" beer

    NPR can be hit or miss but strangely enough cover the craft beer industry better than most. This was a good example I found: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/05/09/310803011/as-craft-beer-starts-gushing-its-essence-gets-watered-down

    Wheat Beer reccomendations

    So I'm brewing a pretty standard American wheat tonight but using a nice blend of NZ hops and lemon/lime zest to have a nice summer porch sipper. I really don't want banana or clove in this as I want the hops to shine. The first choice would be WLP320. My cooler is 62 right now which is...

    Small batch and liquid yeast

    I've been using liquid yeast a lot more. Usually for style specific but I am planning on getting a stir plate and a starter setup going this summer. Still, I am brewing this Friday and wanted to use either San Diego Super or Nottingham. Here is my issue with liquid at the moment, due to me...

    ACBF at end of May

    Friday night session with a few friends...who's in? Possible beer trade? Between the 5-7 of us going, we get some great/rare beers? Most are homebrewers so maybe a homebrew swap as well?

    New Homebrew Store: Plymouth

    There is a new homebrew store that will open in downtown plymouth. I believe it is a monster brew or brew monster. It will be right near the wharf/rotary across from the Ming (or Sung, whatever it is now) Very excited. Store looks big and its right below one of my brew buddies place.

    Where did the Hops Go?

    I just bottled a hop bomb IIPA a few weeks ago and was shocked at the lack of hop aroma and flavor. I am used to producing very high levels of hop aroma and it seems like the more I've began to work with water chemistry, the worse it gets. Here is a breakdown: 1 gallon recipe: 1 lbs...

    Bottling Infected Beer

    With a heavy heart I have to say that I have my first infection. The worst part is, it was my ferm chamber that got the mold on it and consequently a few tiny spores of mold were seen in the two batches I brewed. I transfered to a secondary and there is no signs of the mold (but I am only 24...
