Not sure if its a "party-foul" to be asking liquor store questions in the homebrew forums, but I figure this is a good resource of people.
I am looking for a liquor store that sells single bottles for a build your own 6-pack option. I would like the singles to be cold and also hoping they...
Just as an FYI, my email was pretty harshly worded regarding my disappointment. I was given a full refund without having to ship them back. Sometimes a well composed email is worth it.
If you make it down to Colorado Springs, the Colorado Mountain Brewery right off Interquest and I-25 is awesome. Some of the best food I have ever had and good beer as well.
Although, if you are going to be driving that far you might as well head north to Fort Collins for a day as well to...
I doubt these are QC rejects. I received mine yesterday as well. Due to the poor packing for glassware, one of them was completely shattered. None of them had the laser etching and all had a sticker on the bottom stating "Made in Slovenia". Pretty sure these are poorly made knockoffs of the real...
So I did a test run of about 13 bottles last night. (about all my bucket could hold at once.)

So we are doing our first bottling on Saturday. I read through many of the sticky posts and other recommended threads and I think I have information overload. If you don't mind I wanted to run down the process of a few things to make sure I read and comprehended everything. Any suggestions or...
Thanks for all the input and replies.
I think the smart thing to do at this point is order the supplies online. I have been browsing around northernbrewer and really like what I see.
This community rocks! Cheers.
Thanks for the replies so far. I looked up Old West and they had a not-so-favorable review on their google places page, person said they aren't too friendly and seem annoyed with questions. As a first time home brewer I would hope to find a shop that is friendly and encouraging and doesn't mind...
Hello everyone, first time poster here.
My friend and I have decided it is time to get into homebrewing. We live in Colorado Springs and are wondering if anyone has any experience with the homebrew shops here in town. I saw the Brew Hut up in Denver referenced while searching the forums but...
