    Going to California.

    If you like sours, you absolutely have to visit The Bruery.

    AHB Biggest Loser Challenge!

    ha, it was noon where I'm from! I'm even wordier when I'm drunk. Yeah, it was a bit of a rant. I gracefully walked away from the fitness industry some time ago, no regrets. Our bodies are awesome at keeping us round and weak, both physically and psychologically speaking. Marketers exploit this...

    AHB Biggest Loser Challenge!

    I get crossfit, but it's definitely not for me. There are very few people I've met within that community that I could tolerate. Pushing to extreme levels is often a goal, rhabdomyolysis somehow becomes something to brag about, and what you get is a bunch of people locked in to striving for...

    I think they are expensive anywhere. 13c USD per cap is pretty unsustainable if you ask me. With that said, I did make a small order with them, just to sample the product. I haven't used any yet, but they are indeed a quality item. I'll use them for special brews or something, but no way am I...

    Thanks! Haha, I could certainly write a program for a 3D printer ... as it isn't far off my profession. Unfortunately, we don't have that equipment handy on site. Maybe one day, I wouldn't rule it out.

    I've been making mine in photoshop elements, and print them on 32lb paper with a laser printer. They won't hold up in a cooler, but it's good enough for me. My avatar is a "brewery" logo that I also designed in PS, and I had a rubber stamp made for the caps. The theme has to do with...

    IPA Hopping Tips

    Great post. I've been making my IPA's with bittering charges, 30m hop stands with flame out additions only, and then high dose short term dry hops. I refuse to buy any off the shelves anymore. The results have been that good. 7% @ 70IBU really is the US standard for IPA it seems, and you're...

    Greetings from Pennsylvania.

    :D Of course I do ... In the suburbs, every street has a guy named Jack who likes guns! Haha, I'd go as far to say that most of us don't even say that much. It's "I live in PA" in most cases, I guess we just feel the need to spell it out if the person/people are ridiculously far away? Perhaps...

    Galaxy Hops

    This is the kind of stuff I need to be reading, I have a lot to learn with hops. Thank you.

    Excellent, I did score some Amarillo and Simcoe from nikobrew a few months back, but I haven't looked there in a while. I did recently get a kilo of Galaxy from YVH, so I may be good until next season at least. I'm still going to hoard them, though. :D Also, I think you also just gave a good...

    Galaxy Hops

    Skip ahead to the bold for the TL;DR version I really, really love Galaxy. I'm bumping this thread for some advice on dry hopping. Some history first ... My first AG BIAB was an IPA with Galaxy up front. 1.071 OG/1.011FG 98.5% Briess 2-row 01.5% Honey malt 12g Columbus @ 60 12g Columbus...

    So true, always want what we can't have. I have 1lb of Citra right now, and used it as an aroma hop in an APA. Now I know how Firestone Walker's Wookey Jack gets that pheromone aroma! I can't say I'm too crazy about what it's doing in my APA, but it's still early yet. It seems to have...

    Greetings from Pennsylvania.

    Indeed my friend, and thank you! Excellent, I have so many questions. I really like this brewing method, and I think you Aussie's really have things figured out. Hey Beachbum! I haven't conversed with you over there as I'm relatively new (I'm simply "Rick" over there), but I know exactly who...

    Greetings from Pennsylvania.

    Yeah, our laws are still from the prohibition era. It's really stupid the way things are set up here, and it takes some scouting to know where the good beer distributors are. Although, there is a chain called Wegman's that have added a whole section to their supermarkets just for craft beer...

    Heh, can't tell if serious. You may be thinking of Transylvania? I'm in the Northeast of the USA, about a 90 minute drive west of New York City.

    Greetings from Pennsylvania.

    Hello, great site you have here! It seems to have a good flow of activity, which encouraged me to sign up. I found this place through BIABrewer, and liked the overall content/demeanor relative to other popular sites based in my own country. I've been brewing 23L batches BIAB style for about 4...
