I've been noticing an uptick in dry ale yeast pricing as well, and I can say that I'm not a fan of it. As an LHBS owner, do you have any sense what's driving the price up right now? Based on what you can see, is it a temporary shortage in the market, or is this a long-term change? Brad, I've been g...

So I was hoping to pick up some SafLager S-W34/70 to do an Oktoberfestbier. Brewing 10 gallons, needing proper pitch rates to pitch cold, that means I'd need 4x of the 11.5g packs. And those packs are $6.49 each at either Austin Homebrew or Northern Brewer. WTF? That'd be $26 for yeast?? If I chose...

Use the code: "beerpunks" to get a 10% discount or "beer10" - expires Wednesday. The organizers are cool

AHP will be there too!

AHP Brew Club's June meeting is there on Monday. Brad's place is decked out for hosting parties. You all are welcome to come.

Spoke with Oskaar, he's on from 3pm - 5pm. My guess is he'll be there earlier for Baconmania or Nom Nom.

Right on Oskaar! Based on our email conversation, I've been promoting it from 3pm - 5pm. Can you switch from noon to three ? There is an extract beer making demo from 10am - 2pm. It'll be a zoo if we try to cram both in at the same time. Oh and Brew Captain will be brewing All grain all day! I think...

My mead from Mead day almost one year is in the comp. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to enter Oskaar.

So what are we making this year???

I miss ONE meeting and that's the one Oskaar shows up with mead at!

I use the Barley Crusher "at home" as well as the shop. Works well for me.

I was so consumed in brewing my beer I forgot to keep a log. I joined BeerSmith and will use that for my next batch this weekend. I'm making Eric's Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and forgot what he calls it. For the record it is called High Sierra Pale Ale and you can thank bwarbiany for the recipe. I have...

Thanks for covering for me Brent. Hope you guys have fun tonight drinking beer and discussing beer while I am lecturing on Networking Standards and Protocols. K:-) What could be more fun than talking about the 7 layers of the OSI model. Ah packets...I love me some good packet lecturing. Hey Profess...

I think I saw an add for pin lock -> ball log post conversions from one of the online homebrew supply shops not too long ago. Edit: A bit pricey, but here: http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_163&products_id=2066&zenid=2afa54e0b3ec43fc19a3104ccdf77eb3 I ca...

Jason from www.brewstands.com will be demoing his rig on Sunday January 9th, starting at 10am, at Addison Homebrew Provisions. He'll be brewing a 10 gallon batch of Imperial Red.

We have hotdogs and chips. Feel free to bring homebrew or commercial to share if you like - lots of people do

That's my take on it. I sometimes get lazy and use the non food grade plastic bin to wash bottles.

Bass, striper, trout man myself. I fish Irvine, Puddingstone, Perris, Silverwood, Diamond Valley and Skinner.

I have Stratos 176 bass boat. I fish on Tues/Wed when it is not bitter cold. Let me know when you are free.
