Hey everyone! I just recently opened an etsy shop and have been doing some artwork focusing on beer. I have some prints of brewery maps on right now and figured this would be the best crowd for it. Here's my shop link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MattyMart?ref=hdr_shop_menu I only have PA...

Sorry a little late Ryan, but this was my beer trade with Finsfan. Excited for all the Tall Grass stuff. Enjoy your beer!

I have a lot of Troeg's Mad Elf, its easily accessible around me. Not looking for anything specific... PM with offers if interested. Cheers!

No I have not had it before, seems like it gets okay reviews though.

I have for trade a Mixed 6-pack of Sly fox beer (Odyssey & Phoenix), a 4-pack of Blue Point Toxic Sludge and a 6-pack of Brewer's Art Ozzy... All in cans. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/764/60730 http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/997/7096...

Count me in!

As long as that tube is snug in your fermentor and you sanitized it, I wouldn't worry about it getting infected. If you have a bucket that has the "gasket type" lining on the lid, it will not blow off.

You are just having a strong, active fermentation. The blow-off tube was a good idea, its better for releasing the pressure during fermentation than an airlock. I've had krausen in my blow-off tube before, and everything worked out fine. Just let it ride.

How much do you have of them? Can't really go wrong with a pale ale or an IPA and test them out, see what kind of aroma and flavor they give off.

You have to account for displacement. I used 2 pounds of strawberries which was a lot. I would almost recommend using a bucket, unless you have a 6gal Carboy. Give it at least 6" in a Carboy.

Just as an FYI from my experiences with using fruit.... either leave more than enough room in your fermentation bucket/carboy if you are using an airlock or use a blow off tube. I did a chocolate strawberry porter with just an airlock in a carboy and it exploded. Fermentation is very vigorous...

Star San always does the job for me
