Classifieds / Club T-shirts

« on: May 15, 2013, 02:26:14 PM »

Delmarva United Homebrewers is getting club T-shirts for NHC. Since this is the coolest forum out there, I'll let you guys in if you want to get one. You can order through this link and I'll ship it too you (don't choose the local pickup option though.)  We're ordering next week (this page will only be available until then) and the shirts will be ready in early June.

This is the shirt design.

Just came across this digital hydrometer kickstarter. Says it will measure percent alcohol too.

Questions about the forum? / Where did Ask the Experts go?

« on: March 13, 2013, 05:57:19 AM »

I went looking for this page and it is gone. So are links to Ask the Experts on the main page.

Equipment and Software / Tutorial/Instruction sub-board in Equipment?

« on: March 11, 2013, 11:36:50 AM »

Every time I heard someone bought a March pump, I send them here.
 
http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=11157.0
 
But that means every time I need to find that post again as it gets buried deeper and deeper in the board.  I thought a sub-board specifically for tutorials like this might be useful. It would keep these threads organized away from the daily equipment questions/posts and make them easier to find later on. Thoughts?
 
AHA could then also solicit other industry people to post tips/tricks to equipment setup too.
 
That's my idea for the day. My work is done.

The Pub / Growler fills at Delaware liquor stores

« on: March 08, 2013, 06:54:13 AM »

I just heard this morning that there is a bill in Delaware to allow growler fills at liquor stores.

Equipment and Software / FastRack

« on: February 07, 2013, 07:06:01 AM »

I opened the FastRack add at the top of the forum. The idea seems great. I've done the same thing with some old plastic beer cases I own, but this looks much more slick. Anyone buy them?  I might be convinced to give up my bottle tree.

The Pub / Oh that Google

« on: February 04, 2013, 12:21:41 PM »

This is probably some glich (maybe) but for some quick entertainment, go to a Google map of Albany, GA here - http://goo.gl/maps/pteZk
 
Albany is home to a MillerCoors brewery which is marked on the upper left side of the map.
 
Now type "brewery" into the search bar and see what it brings up.

Questions about the forum? / Unread threads

« on: January 22, 2013, 07:38:46 AM »

Has there been a change to how the unread button works? I've been feeling like "unread" threads are disappearing without me opening them.  I was away this weekend and off the forum. Last night I checked and there were two pages of unread threads. I read a few and went to bed. This morning there are 9 unread.

Beer Travel / Inn at Cooperstown Bed and Brew

« on: January 21, 2013, 06:55:45 PM »

We just went to the Inn at Cooperstown's Bed and Brew weekend and it was pretty fabulous. Some of the best features are that the Inn only sells packages these weekends, so their 20 rooms are filled with beer lovers who stayed up into the wee hours in the Inn's parlors sharing beer and stories.  A couple brewers from Ommegang spent their evenings with us too. It was a lot of fun.  The Inn's owner also has dozens of cases of rare Ommegang beers, some of which he shared with the guests.

Other Fermentables / Copper does remove sulfur!

« on: January 15, 2013, 07:02:31 AM »

My Asian pear cider had a slight sulfury nose that I'd hoped would age out (but it didn't after 5 months). After reading about copper binding sulfur compounds here, I bought a small piece of copper pipe and dropped it in the carboy on Saturday night. Last night the sulfur aroma was gone (2 days) and we bottled it. Awesome!!
