I'm judging at the Hangar 24 competition as well, so I won't be able to be at the Grand Opening. Depending on when we finish, I may try to make it over the store. If any of my beers win, I may just stop by to brag a little. I have two entires - you can just bring my ribbon with you on Saturday :win...

What is better? A 50' stainless steel coil or a cold plate?

I like this guy already

I'm guessing I should have spoken sooner ...

Any chance I can borrow the club Jockey Box for the Grand Opening? The one I ordered is still on backorder. I have 3 1/2 full kegs to share. Anyone is welcome to bring their beer, bottle are OK - I'll have a tub of ice water for them.

WLP 029 is a top fermenting Ale yeast. I used it in my Kolsch at the last meeting. Never tried the Wyeast. Fermented at 68 for a few days, then down to 65.

No special instructions on the bottle, but I would go colder. I'm going to try 60 on my next batch and see what it does.

Whatever is easier. I have Beersmith and Promash. Thank You.

When you say back in the day, do you mean "when I was learning"? I'm looking for recipes that people would be happy they paid for.

Or Brad....

Wish I could help but all my extract recipes are gone about 4 computers ago.

I said Brad

We'll be starting at 10am and brewing until 5pm or later.

I only have one extract recipe that's worth anything, but: 1) It's not original (clone of SNPA called High Sierra Pale Ale , which I converted to extract) 2) I don't have time/inclination to brew it right now. But I can send you the recipe if you want it. It's proven, as I brewed & kegged it, t...

NPT or Tri Clamp fittings? Either way it is a GOOD price.

Hey Eric! It was good meeting you yesterday (this is Marshall). I've been talking to more of my friends and trying to get them out for your party on the 22nd but you should know that the 22nd is the last Saturday of Renaissance Faire. A lot of Fairegoers are homebrewers so I'm sure you'll be seeing...

(not that I can attend-- I have meetings on Tuesday nights at 7pm )

P.S: new here, sup everyone

Welcome Haemon. Everyone is welcome. People with beer to share even more so!!!

Chris, thanks for jumping in. The only "limitation" is it must be extract (specialty grains are expected) and you must give me the recipe. Other than that the field is WIDE open. This is a fun competition. No stress. Very little formality. It is PERFECT for people who are new to comps and ...

I don't think of much of Belgian style beer which is why I didn't chime in earlier.
I will say that beers brewed to the higher end of gravity and IBUs for any style in question seem to do better in competition. I hope that helps.
