Results for the EXTRACT ONLY are below: Congratulations to Greg Hinton for his AWESOME!!! California Common - Category 7B Runner Up is Greg Hinton for his Witbier - Category 16...

Brad's bringing Pizza!!! I'm OK with it, if someone wants to co-ordinate that. There will be other clubs there as well guys. Not sure how many of whom, but I don't know who is on the store mailing list and I have advertised as much as possible. The store is open for business until 7pm, so bring a li...

Hefe's don't need to clear so after primary, keg that sucker. I'd leave it in primary for 2 weeks though.

Don - Feel free to bring a friend, but late comers may not get a seat.

Chris- I don't sell it in the store. I'll see if he is going to bring some.

Everyone - BYOC - I've got 6 chairs and they'll go fast!

I might have something to enter... but not sure about a few things... Is this a paid members only thing? Two Bottles? Is there a form to fill out... or Bottle labels? If not what kind of info do you want and how should i label the bottles? Thanks! Jimmy- It's FREE!!! Yes, two bottles. Use the BJCP ...

So I have been thinking about a kegerator for months now. I keep debating wether to turn a fridge into a kegerator or just buy one. I think I have decided to buy one. My questions, for those that have kegerators, is do you enjoy your kegerator? Is it worth the expense of buying and electricity to ha...

Congrats Brad!

Kolsch is one of my favorite styles. Perfect for the summer!

John Palmer is kind enough to come to Addison Homebrew Provisions Monday July 5th @ 7pm to give a presentation on water chemistry. People will also be bringing in their homebrew to share and evaluate. I highly recommend that you buy/bring your copy of "How to Brew" for him to sign. Since I...

Just dropped my two bottles off at the shop. I put them by the back door like you said, in a brown bag with a label attached. These are for the any beer contest though, as they are all grain. Hope I win! Are you judging both of these comps on Sunday? Bottles received. Yes, both comps are being judg...

You'll do fine. Your beer has been good so far.

There are, and I am not joking, about 20 different types/models of hydrometers. If you want something specific (no pun intended), let me know. I am placing an order today if you want it in a hurry.

It didn't make my beer better. It seemed like beers made with 5.2 take longer to clear.

I just had a customer request it. Maybe I need to try it myself...

We don't cool the sample, you just want to make sure that the meter is capable of handling the temps you plan on using it in and has a good tolerance towards it. I trust the meter, if we cool the sample our meter will have the same reading. Every reading is just as important! Mash, collection and p...

Anyone besides Chris and Jeremy brewing for this?

The Store Competition for any beer, wine and mead (all grain or extract) has 4 entries and another 6 on the way.

The Style of the month for July is ANY Lager - same as before judging will be done at the end of the month.

Noted. OK, I think I may actually be starting to understand this insanity and chaos. I can't thank you guys enough for helping me out! If anyone wants to come to my place on Monday I'll be brewing sometime around maybe 1pm, I have a few bottles of things I'd like to bust open and try! PM me if inte...
