Anyone else order from great fermentations? Hoping they are shipping soon

37 & 40 on my doppelbock. Not bad!

Sunday, September 4th (Sunday before Labor Day) 6p-10p at Deep Ellum Brewing Company. I'll be out there at Matty K's Home Brewery. Likely with an IPA and a fruited blonde. Registration and drop off is from 07/01-07/31 Who's going? Competing? I did this last year and had a blast...

Brewing another batch tomorrow with K97 just for kicks

It's probably just fine. What was your gravity reading at pitching?

Craigslist is the place for buying tanks. You'll just buy the ones that people would normally exchange. Pretty easy to find em for less than $20. Not bad considering you can't buy a "new" one at the exchange for less than like $20.

How much (fresh/whole?) strawberry did you do? Assuming it was in 2.5 gallons

I used to do that. Now I pitch and start at the yeast's ideal range. For us05 and 1056, that was always 66-68 for me. I use Nottingham for my ales now. Great attenuation, clean flavor and floccs much more quickly.

Submit your beer for judging? This comp is coming up: http://www.michiganbeercup.com/

Cheers guys, thanks.

Are you guys just shipping to the brewery? I can't find the shipping address for the competition.

Not too shabby! I got a ribbon for my blonde. Scores were from 41-45

Entered this into a comp and poured at a festival this weekend. Great feedback all the way around. Judges' scores ranged from 41-45, took first place in its category. Cheers for the great recipe!

Maybe it's because I just finished a night shift, but I am having a hard time picking out your question.

She's ugly, but she puts out.
