Ohio has them too. PA has some but they put the beer in the trunk.

Hi Cape, good to see you guys expanding. If the bubble does "burst", it will be for people leveraged to the hilt and unable to make debt payments, not guys like you who are pay-as-you-go and carry little to no debt. For your context, I am the Clown Shoes guy from the MA Brewer's event at...

I'm sorry but there is a picture of it so it cannot be. Everyone knows the best stouts in the history of the Earth were made in backwoods Vermont and Maine with the rarest ingredients and there are no physical records of them. People talk of them in whispered voices because the mere utterance of...

I have been called a "menace to the neighborhood" and "evil". This was after my Maibock party, where my 8% Maibock was so mellow it went down like a 4% lager. People drank like it was 1/2 the alcohol despite my constant warnings. They all went home well and truly toasted...

An instructor at the ABG in Vermont broke down the Bud brewing process during a class I took. In Bev AB do spend a lot of money on having more types brew vessels and sorts of tanks than many other breweries. Of course, the idea behind these vessels is to remove flavor elements and volatiles...

As long as I am not in charge of making sure the inside is mortared ok during the process, I'll be good.

I thought we would be gathering around the pizza oven?

If I were to be able to attend this event, would there be an extra tap available for a ball lock corny keg or will I have to BYOJB or growlers?

Definitely go with Pilsner extract if you can get it. Also think about a spicer hop like Perle instead of Hersbrucker. I tend to use a neutral bittering hop like Magnum or Nugget and then Perle as the flavor/aroma hop. If you are really into learning the style, I'd recommend Markowski's...

Brian, had a nice chat with Kinsale about your operation. Well done, you guys certainly are making in roads and keeping people wanting more and more and more.

Isn't that like speaking the Devil's name and he will come... Another Masshole here from Cambridge.

You would think but apparently alcohol is quite a different animal. Hell, the US fought its first war against some people intent on distilling at home - the Whiskey Rebellion. Alcohol is regulated differently than other products.

The whole idea of chilling the beer down is to get particles to drop out of suspension. You want that in a fermentor not in the keg. If you keg it and then chill it, you are going to end up with a bunch of trub at the bottom of the keg.

Drink them both now and imagine how they would have aged.

Here as well. Sitting in the yeast session. Look for the guy with a beer...

At the NHC, Frank is front and center of the advert for the 2015 NHC....

You could also get some sifters/sieves of different sizes. From a commercial brewing class I took, they recommended: US Sieve Numbers: 7 (husks), 30 (coarse grits), 37 (fine grits), 40 (coarse flour), pan (flour). After crushing, about 80% of the material (as measured by weight) should be in the...
