Maine Oxy in Milford. Great guys. Only does swaps (no refills). Will also do upgrades. I gave them 2 empty 5# tanks, including one that was out of date, and they gave me a full 20# tank. I haven't refilled yet (or, actually, swapped), but I think their price for 20# was around $30, which is...

Not sure if they do nitro, and I haven't been there, but Gorham Fire Appliance in Quincy gets good marks. I think they refill while you wait.

Barleycorn's in Natick does tank swaps, but they're expensive. $30 for 5#.

Greetings from Boston suburbs. A year ago my kids gave me a basic homebrew kit for Christmas. I knew almost nothing, having brewed one batch of beer in the kitchen about 20 years earlier. So where did I turn? HBT. A year later... I'm brewing my 27th batch (Farmhouse Rye). I've done...

CSI, please let us know how this turns out with the Nelson Sauvignon hops. I'm intrigued with this recipe. I have a question for you. You are decreasing your fermentation temp over time. I noticed this approach on your posted recipes on your website as well. Most brewers recommend raising...

Not a great pic, but here's the beer I made. Foamy head lasts about a week. Leaves great lacing. IBUs did calculate low, but seemed comparable to the real thing to me.

OK. Time to pitch in here: Brewed the bad boy mid June, using the recipe given below. This recipe was derived from a few sources, but primarily from the Boulevard email posted somewhere in this thread. This came out really close to Tank-7, although a little "hotter" since it finished at...

Costco has the version of this fridge with a stainless steel door for $150.

Older version of the DAR had screws. On new ones the panel is glued in. People who have tried to remove it have had troubles. Although it is much less attractive, the best solution is to cut off all of the protrusions with a Dremel or a utility knife, and then cover the scars with metallic duct...
