Just wanted to drop a couple of quick link updates. The old list of CO2 places was removed from the Boston Wort Processors site, because the wiki just accrued too much spam. The new link is here: Boston Wort Processor CO2 Locations If you need a full screen map, that's here. All the...

I believe it's a 60 gallon barrel (or possibly 53). It was used for Whiskey first, then Coastal Extreme (Newport Storm) used it to age their Thomas Tew rum. The Wort Processors purchased it from them and I'm not exactly sure how much it cost, but for some reason $125 sticks out in my memory...

Hey, I made it out...of course I didn't do anything but eat and drink, ha. Might have influenced the Loose Cannon discussion. Figured before you guys finish the Utopia, you might start considering the clone of the beer that has evidently surpassed Utopia in ABV: Translated version of...

It's actually TBA, not TBD. We wanted to give people enough time to brew a batch if they didn't have something on hand or if they are new to homebrewing. Time and place won't be announced online either. It will be sent out in an email to people who have contacted me and expressed an interest...

Well I think the connection is more with beer in general. Not to throw out vague generalizations, but a lot of bikers enjoy a beer (s) after riding. I know when we go mountain biking, we usually keep a cooler of the good stuff in the car for when we are done. There are plenty of...

Yea, mountain biking so not a whole lot to worry about in the DUI category. Sorry no motorcycles, just the metabolically powered bikes...

This is pretty much for anyone in the DC metro area (VA/MD/DC), but hell if anyone feels like they want to travel out for it, we got room, ha. Here's the deal: http://fatboydeluxe.com/blog/2006/09/21/bootleggers-bliss/ It's all about bikes and beer and it is loosely based on the Indian...

Yea, the Pacman yeast is a pretty good beast, it'll eat most anything at a wide temp range, Wyeast says 60-70 degrees is optimal. Couple of recipes here: 1) http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/recipator?group=0&item=5868 2) http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/recipator?group=0&item=5877 For...

Ha, yea welcome to the area. Fairfax prices are completely out of proportion. When they do those studies on the DC-Metro area, it's places like Fairfax, McLean, Great Falls, etc. that can really blow out the statistics. Luckily prices have become more stable lately and even gone down. It...

Hm, not sure about the 2 liter bottles, but you can definitely use 3 liter soda bottles. I went to the grocery store and bought 6 of them for around $7, dumped out the soda, and that's what I use instead of a 6 liter bottle. I usually put all the beer in the bottling bucket as usual with the...

Well there are a few homebrew clubs in MD, but I've only been to BURP meetings. I've also been to the WortHogs meetings, but they are in VA. Although you'll find that the northern VA, DC, MD area is all close enough. Lot's of homebrewers out this way though. The only MD shop I've been to is...

Hm, not really sure you even need to add the extra yeast. If you just racked it to secondary it will probably go a little farther down. But from your post we can't really tell how long you had it in primary, how high the gravity was to begin with, what yeast you used, etc. Not knowing all...

I have the same issue. My fridge is in our utility room that easily gets 90+. The fridge is older and only gets down to the upper 60's. Although the freezer works great, go figure... DT

Personally I would design the recipe around a 5 gallon batch, then use one of the many online recipe calculators to scale the recipe down. You said you found a pint bottle, is that 16 oz.? That just seems really small for the work involved. It should take you pretty much the same amount of...
