If you're learning what profiles you like you can rarely go wrong with Fuente Chateaus or 858s (these are sizes). I would get a Cameroon, maduro, and sungrown wrapper and see what you like about each. I love a nice cameroon with a hefe. This will give you a good baseline to go off of. Once...
Great article! I love pairing a PDS4 with a mildly hoppy IPA. I've found that I lose some of the complexity of some higher end cigars if the beer compliments the taste too much. It's a wonderful to have the two flavors build on each other, you just lose some of the subtle notes of the cigar...

That's a good point. I fill the hlt full blast. I didn't realize I needed to fill it slowly for the filter to work. I'll try the campden tabs and see what happens. I may do that before I do anything else so I don't change too many variables at once.

Still active. We are filling a 55 gallon barrel this weekend with various stouts that individual members made. We normally meet at McGorray's at 7:00 on the second Tuesday of the month.
I never really did come back and update this but the beer was a big hit. Turned out to be everyone's favorite and I burned through the keg before I had a chance to enjoy it. I'm definitely doing another batch.
Welcome! I brew about twice a month now, and maybe more as I'm stocking up for the summer. It would be nice to have a small get together for a brew day. If either of you are interested shoot me a PM.
There's a group that meets in Decatur once a month that isn't too bad. Usually about 8-12...
To be honest I was shooting for the sweeter side. I even backed down on the IBUs. It was going to be my "win people over to stout", stout. It tasted great when I sampled it. Im thinking some bourbon soaked chips might just round it out perfectly.
I am noticing this afternoon that there are...
