  1. Catch-22

    FedEx Woes

    According to the claim adjuster, they said that it didn't have the proper labeling to indicate alcohol. I doubt a bottle broke as they were individually wrapped and double bagged. I honestly think the only thing that could of happened is the box got crushed or something. While speaking with...

    FedEx Woes

    Cash they just get my money. Check they have my routing number, checking acct etc.... I have had my identity stolen before with a check. Not fun

    FedEx Woes

    Better than a check. I have been doing this for a long long time and never had an issue. I don't care about the money so much but the principle is what gets me. Oh and two of the entries were my last stock of previous medal winners. Oh well. Time to make more.

    FedEx Woes

    Ok so here is some quick backstory. I sent 4 entries to Weasel Boy Brewing's Beer for Boobs comp 3 day fedex. I was monitoring the tracking number and noticed a problem. I contacted FedEx about the package and they said that they held the package because it was alcohol and that I didn't have the...

    Is it just me...

    Ok, so I am going through all of my entries for a brew comp where the deadline is tomorrow. I bottle everything from keg so I have the luxury of being able to sample up to the last minute. There are six entries. Two of which I think are amazing. Three that are great and one that is good but...

    GABF woes

    It probably has already been discussed but I just read that our AHA member number will not work for pre-sale and that an 11 digit number was emailed out. I haven't received any number...... anyone else?

    Lacto

    Hello, Looking for some advice regarding my Berliner Weiss. Brewing this in the past I have used the Berliner Weiss blend but found that it wasn't quite tart enough. This go around I have pitched a straight Lacto culture ($14.99 Wyeast OUCH) and it is going great. My question is how long should...

    Hydrometer Sample Chiller

    Hey I don't know if this has been posted previously but I found that my hydrometer jar fits perfectly inside the cylinder with ice and water the entire length of the jar. It works like a charm for chilling the sample real quick. If you have one kicking around, try it you will love it. P.S...

    boil kettle dip tube questions

    Exactly why i had to use the O rings. I wasn't getting a complete seal and when the level of wort would drop below the top of the fitting I would lose suction and leave almost a gallon behind. O ring solved that. Now I have just under three cups of wort/break material left in the kettle after...

    Show Us Your Short-Cuts

    I use a electric 8 gal turkey fryer to heat my water so whether I'm brewing after work or in the morning, I have that plugged into a timer so that when I come home or wake up, I'm ready to dough in give or take a few min. Additionally, for those of you without refracts and are tired of...

    Omaha - Good Places for Good Beer?

    http://www.upstreambrewing.com/ Have been here and it was pretty good. Tried the sampler. They do have cask conditioned but when I was there a year ago, the cask wasn't very good, had a musty twang. Overall, better than a bud at any other bar.

    Using electrical kettle to fill my brew pot

    The reason, how I understand it, is that the PH of the water is too high with less grain and more water causing tannins to leach out. A lower water ratio brings the PH down reducing the chance of tannins leaching into the wort. Or something like that
