Congrats on the new gig Kevin. Best of luck to you!

I hear you on the water purchase ... for my 5 gallon Bo-Pils yesterday I wound up buying 10 gallons of distilled water (there wasn't any de-ionized) I mixed the Camarillo water down 3:1 (Distilled to tap) to bring the hardness down from ~400 to ~100 (based on a hardness tester I used). In the Palmer...

Hey Brad W.

Hereis a pic pre racking of the sediment. I racked it onto the raspberry around 6/17 ... brewed it on 6/11 (if memory serves).

Dan

Welcome Whorst and I'll reiterate .. nice bar!

FYI I just tried the site and Google reports it as an attack site ... on their visit, a malware attempt was made (this was as of 7/15). So be careful if / when you visit that site!

Congrats to Rezzin!

The only brewing equipment I saw was 5 17 bbl fermentation vessels behind a display window at the front of the store. Granite city is a local chain with 3...

:lol: We're going to go to one of the local brewpubs for lunch today. Granite City . The food looks to be pretty good and I've been told that the beers are also worthy. I'll post a review later today and or tomorrow. On Saturday, I think we'll plan dinner at 75th street in KC (per Lyn's post). Sunda...

Hub City Old Browne Porter - Brewed in Stanley IA. I poured this beer into a glass and was immediately struck by the lack of an...
