One thing I did not see you mention was what your hydro reading was before pitching the yeast. One of the best ways to see how much the beer has fermented out is to take a reading before pitching and another one a week or two after pitching (7 days is usually good for the fermentation to...

Wow it has been quite some time since I posted here at all let alone in this thread. So much beer has happened since then. Brewed up: Amarillo IPA Dortmunder Lager morphed using ale yeast (really interesting) Hennepin Ommegang clone (first failed batch) Nukey Brown Ale Red Hook ESB clone...

Leave for a few days and missed it all :( . Enjoy folks!

Had a Widmer Brothers Barrel Aged Brrrbon and Rush River Chocolate Oatmeal Stout over the weekend. Absolutely LOVED the stout and the Widmer grew on me but is not one I would have more than once a year.

Before I even read through your whole post I screamed "SHORT STORY!" at the monitor. It is one of the few cigars that my wife begs me for every time I ask if she wants one.

-20F hello winter...

Very cool. I tried to pick up a box of pigs and rats from Isy but unfortunately he was out of the rats by the time I got to him.

Nom nom nom

Cigars arrived safe and sound KM and THANK YOU! Great smokes and I cannot wait to light one up after they rest a little. Where are you at in the states now?

Thanks for the link Doc, I probably should have hunted that one down on my own first. I think I understand it. Set list of availabile bottles. Set number of slots. Each bottle someone buys fills a slot. Once slots are full or date arrives everything is ordered.

I've seen AVB do these before but how do they work? Is it just a case(s) split between participants to help bring down the cost?

Well all in all, like anything, it seems like a matter of just jumping in and trying different varieties with the biggest thing being pay attention to what you are trying to know what you like. I did pick up a bottle of Glenlivit 12 year for 27 bucks over the weekend and tried it out. I had...

Got my box today. Thanks so much Isy, fantastic doing business with you! :thumbs:

NIce job Blue! Thanks for the contest.

Had an Opus X PussyCat to bring in the New Year. Wanted to like it but just could not.

That makes a lot of sense. I will look into finding one in the Twin Cities area (shouldn't be too hard). Any suggestions are welcome.

My wonderful wife and I have drank scotch in the past and really enjoyed it but never really looked into it a whole lot until within the last couple of months. After doing some preliminary research I find it very interesting that, like wine, scotch has varied regions with each having a loose...

Good call. I thought they shrink wrapped the tops but I was wrong. All of them were on tight but it is easy to see how they might come loose. I get up to Duluth about once a month so I will be sure to give you a buzz before next time and we can for sure meet up.

Lots of great beers flowing through the board with the holidays folks, nice job! My wife and I are in Duluth for an extended second Christmas with my parents so on the way in we made our usual stop to pick up a few growlers from Fitgers Brewhouse. Now have the following: Humperdink Hefeweisen...
