Events / NHC - wine tasting

« on: June 08, 2012, 01:05:19 pm »

Time is running out to register for the wine tasting event - if we don't get a few more people we're going to be forced to cancel, so sign up now. We can keep selling until the 17th, but if we're going to cancel we have to do so before that.

This event includes tastes of a half dozen wines, a glass of your choice, plus a buffet, and it's directly across the street from the conference hotel!

Hi everyone, if you are going to the NHC in June, come early and see the sights! We have a bunch of pre-conference events planned - if you are thinking about joining a tour, sign up today, some of the tours have already sold out and the others are getting close.

For those with just the social package for the conference, check out some of the other events we have scheduled within walking distance of the hotel.

All Things Food / curing meat

« on: April 20, 2012, 12:42:35 pm »

I got this link for a home meat curing setup. Looks pretty awesome and easy, I might do it soon. I think I just need to buy the humidity controller, I should have everything else.

Beer Travel / PHL

« on: April 13, 2012, 09:10:56 am »

I'm flying into Philly in a week or so, but will need to wait ~3 hours for a ride. I figure I can entertain myself at the airport by finding a place to have some beers. On the other hand, I can catch a cab to Monk's and wait for a ride there.

I'm leaning towards Monk's over the airport bar, but any other recommendations?

All Things Food / lime leaf source

« on: April 11, 2012, 12:41:27 am »

I'm trying to find a source for fresh Thai lime leaves, aka makrut, aka kaffir lime leaves. My old source seems to be having problems, I don't know if they are still open.

Does anyone have a source that has quality fresh leaves and isn't crazy expensive? There are sources that are $30 an ounce, which is silly. I'm thinking more like $8 an ounce, which is more than I paid last time but still reasonable.

I'm going to check locally when I'm near the appropriate stores, but I hate to go on a wild goose chase.

Questions about the forum? / new

« on: March 29, 2012, 12:22:47 am »

Is anyone looking at the problem with the new button? It takes me to the top of the page with the newest post, but not to that post. When I looked at this previously the URL had the wrong message number in it. See this message:

http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=11015.msg137905#msg137905

Of course, when I follow that link it takes me to the right page but not to the right message.
