The Pub / Re: Cellar decided to become a sauna
« Last post by rhcpfan4002 on Today at 05:00:13 pm »Unfortunately no. I use my mini fridge for fermenting and my main fridge is one of those small apartment fridges. I basically have a bachelor's pad. Everything I want but not everything I need.

The Pub / Cellar decided to become a sauna
« Last post by rhcpfan4002 on Today at 04:14:41 pm »So, the place I cellar my beer, the only place in my one bedroom apt that stayed near 60F year round, has decided to jump to 82+F 
! I have some beers in there and never had this happen before. They did some remodeling outside so I am wondering if that affected things. Really new to the cellaring of beer. I can just now afford it...kind of. Would you guys recommend....
A) don't worry about it. It's dark the beer can stay in there.
or
B) when I visit my parents place this Friday bring the beers with me to store there. They have air conditioning but the beer won't be readily available.
I don't know why but the only place in my apartment that use to stay a constant temperature is doing so no more. I was able to get my hand on a few nice beers I wanted to age and of course I am now having this problem. The only reason I am aging them is that I was saving them till I truly wanted them or for a special occasion. If the temperature influx has probably already caused spoilage I have no problem drinking them now I just don't want to. Just wondering what you guys would recommend.

Beer Recipes / Re: ESB suggestion - Victory or no?

Anyway, I do love me some internet in case anyone wants to have some email fun!
Mod Edit - Do a search you can find the contact info for the companies out there... otherwise - zoink.

« Last post by morticaixavier on Today at 03:17:06 pm »Full disclosure:
I grew up in Vermont but I was never terribly fond of Magic Hat beers.
Now that that's out of the way, I couldn't get to west sixths site but I found this article with a picture
http://www.kentucky.com/2013/05/21/2648036/vermont-craft-brewer-files-federal.html
looking pretty similar to me.
**EDIT** Modified to add, I can't imagine why you would want someone to potentially mistake your beer for a #9. that stuff is nasty.
