Hello!....I live in the SF Bay Area, in years past you could drop off your bottles at MoreBeer in Concord....This year I called and they have not heard from the organizers....Being the window only 1 week away, I wonder if anyone/any local clubs could lend a hand in how to ship these....Of course...

But, why😆😆???

Northern Brewer has managed in less than two months, to short me on some recipe (missing grains), and to send me a broken hydrometer, that never got replaced...So I am done with them, being acquired by Big Beer is not enticing either, so looking for an alternate supplier....Our local HBS is...

Thank you so much for the info

Hello. I am familiar with brewing but new to sours....So I forgot to hold on the hops for my Berliner Weisse and added 1 oz of German Tettnang. AA 2.3%. I was going to pitch Omega 605 lacto blend and better decided to put the lacto blend back in the refrigerator and just make this a "normal...
