check the Rogue website - something they do (can't recall right now) features Newports - you could buy it and try it first.

never saw that one - I basically only watch it in on DVD - only live TV i usually watch is football and Foodnetwork.
Back to the topic. How about something as simple as:
The (insert town's name) Local
or Poor (insert name)'s Pub
I like Das Boot, but that would have to be an all German theme - and you'd need all the glasses to be boots - which would be cool.

Kinda limiting the audience.

« on: January 12, 2010, 09:39:18 AM »Glorious weather Florida,
nice to brew without sweating...
how about the morning run, the slight sting on the rosy cheeks, little run on the nose
envigorating cold weather is good for the body.
hah! its like you were there!
I love it - I was commenting to my wife this morning how the dogs ran the entire lake run (1.1.mi around) at top speed - I honestly think without the requisite pit stops, we could have finished the lap in under 8:00, whereas its usually 9:30 or so if no 'stops'.
I can't believe how much easier it is to run - I did a 6mi run on sunday morning without a problem even though I haven't broken above 3 in ~2 months.

Ingredients / Re: Hop Price Question (Pellet vs Leaf)
« on: January 11, 2010, 01:12:05 PM »
just a theory, but I always get ~20oz per pound of leaf, whereas pellet has always been exactly 16oz.
Just sayin...
also, I believe the pellet loses some AA due to processing, could that be a factor?

Boy, would it ever!

yeah, it was 25df yesterday morning and 40df on the way to work today. definitely a change of pace. I don't think my fermentation fridge has turned on but once or twice a day the past week!
BTW, your friend should be able to get pretty much any micro he wants in Tampa - they have a great selection nowadays - he may have to look harder though - Total Wine is a must, and there are a few other stores (one is in Dunedin). Plus there's Cigar City, which is great!

very good point seajellie - your examples are similar to the experience I've had with FWH - with Spalt, its been nice, but in the pilsner I made recently (mentioned a few posts back in this thread) it was actually Hallertau and Tettnang as the FWH, which isn't terrible, but I don't really like it and prefer the traditional kettle additions.
