I haven't tried it myself. But the general consensus around the craft beer heads I know was that it was way too over the top. Interesting to try, impossible to finish alone, and most would never purchase it again.

Thought I would share my latest label. Since I am not at the stage yet where I am creating my own recipes, it's obviously unfair to use my other labels with their own names. So I decided I wil l use this label for each batch I make that is someone else's recipe. Batch #, followed by...

Interesting. As I mentioned I wasn't sure how accurate what that guy said was. Good to know. I was just reading up on Pliny the Younger, and it sounds pretty damn tasty. I need to get my hands on one for sure.

I'm definitely a hop-head. IPA's are my favorite style of brew. It was just my opinion that other IPA's and DIPA's are better. But I am very excited to brew that Pliny clone. I'm not arguing with you or anything by the way. Just wanted to make it clear my opinion is coming from a hop head, not...

I personally didn't think Pliny lived up to the hype when I tried it. I mean, it was good no doubt. But it wasn't the best I've tried in my opinion. I ran into another homebrewer at a local craft beer bar that told me more about Pliny. When I told him how underwhelmed I had been, he told me...

I haven't been able to find any on tap. But I did pick up two sixers last night. Sooooo good!

I concur about it being one of the best ones. Last time I had it was maybe back in November, but it was damn tasty!

Stopping by Whole Foods in Chandler, AZ after work. Hopefully there will still be some left when I get there.

I highly doubt you would be able to find it in Philly considering that it's hard to find on the west coast as well.

Honestly it all depends at what temperature you want to keep your house. I live on Phoenix AZ and I use a Chest Freezer with a temp controller because we keep our house at around 80 degrees in the summer and the winter. However I have friends here who keep their home at a lower temp, like around...

Initial investment was $200. This starter kit came with 1 Fermenting Bucket, 1 Glass Carboy, 1 Bottling Bucket, 24 Bomber Bottles and 2 recipes (everything else needed was included as well of course). Since then I have purchased a Chest Freezer, $175 which I turned into a keezer so $350 for...

That thing is crazy tall! Gonna be a pain in the ass loading full kegs in o_O. Otherwise looks good though. I'm starting to wish I would have painted mine. The white is ugly lol.

There shouldn't be any issue as long as you get a good seal on everything and just line it all up with some insulation.

I ordered everything for Kegging from Keg Connection recently. And they forgot to send me my CO2 tank. They took about a week to get another one shipped out to me. Apparently they are in the process or relocating their warehouse at the moment so things are hectic. It might be easier to contact...

I still buy craft beer all the time. Nothing in particular just what ever sounds good in the moment. I also don't have a constant pipeline for home brew going yet though. Usually I don't brew again until I run out of the last batch. So I'll go a 1-2 month period with no homebrew.
