Title says it all. I have a Falconers Flight IPA that I brewed for a camping trip at the end of May. My goal is to have it totally conditioned so I left myself tons of time. Here is what I've done so far: Fermented primary for 2wks. Racked to secondary on 1st dry hop addition. Left for 5 days...

I'm a musician and have to make a day trip to the Mishawaka area. I'm looking to buy some beer not available in my state. Any tips on some good stores in the general area? I'll have some down time so a bit of a drive is fine. Thanks!

Hello all, First time brewer and poster. While making my first IPA I read the directions wrong and made a 2nd hop addition too early in the boil. Any way to neutralize or soften up some of those IBU's? It's in primary now, was planning on racking to secondary and dry hopping in a week or so...
