So, did you run with the recipe you posted earlier? Interested to hear how it turns out.
I believe it’s the same

9lb German Pilsner
2lb light Munich
.5lb dark Munich(20L)
.5lb Carafa III
.25lb chocolate Wheat

28 ibus of Hallertau Mittelfrueh
Yeast: 34/70
Water profile: Black balance. My tap water is literally with in 5-10 ppm for each mineral and the mash ph naturally hit 5.45 so no adjustments needed at all which was cool

I’ll certainly keep you posted

Running out of beer. Need this quarantine to stopppppp!
Just read about a possible co2 shortage due to multiple plants shutting down. Some breweries (bells) are saying they have seen no issues with supply yet. Hopefully it's fake news but it was a wtf moment when I started reading......not freaking out just yet but a definite wtf

I just asked my supplier about the possible shortages and they told me they’ve heard no such thing. Their main office is in Greeley, CO and my local branch is in Sterling. That doesn’t mean things could change in the future I guess.

I should have stated that the article was on smart news. Thanks for checking into it. Good to hear, it also helped hearing bells say they weren't having issues yet. However, one thing the article said was that 34 of the 45 ethanol plants that sale co2 have slowed or cut production. Apparently ethanol producers are a key provider of co2 to the food industry according to the article...I dont know if this will affect beer drinkers, breweries and homebrewers at all but I do know that my liver will be pissed if it does. I personally think it's a non issue but who knows. Here's a link to the article

I'm thankful I just filled my 20# cylinder two weeks ago.
I'm not sure how much i have left and only 5#. Plus i just started closed transfers. Had to order supplies for upcoming brew day online recently. Deliver times where 2 weeks out at a minimum. Others were 3. I always get ingredients from a lhbs but sadly all the ones near me have closed permanently, not covid related either. Hopefully I'll brewing next weekend if stuff gets here in time. My immediate concern about that article was I might be needing co2 in 3 or 4 weeks when it's time to transfer, keg and carb again. I always get my co2 from air gas. Exchange tanks when empty. Hopefully no issues when the time comes...
 
Now this, the last time I had so many Headys, I also have 2 cans of Sip of Sunshine. Those two cans were delicious by the way, :ban:

Lawson's it is!

You know I'm only an hour away from the VT border and they keep teasing me. My local got a 4 pk of Heady and Focal. That's it.

About time I cash in my trades of Dinner to these stores.

I'm at the point where the Battenkill and Heady is only a hour and a half away
