Well, I thought I was safe moving my brewing into the kitchen, but the last few nights I've had a few beers in the kitchen freeze and burst. The "hold" function on the thermometers says it got to 9°F inside, -26°F outside. :o

Three exterior walls, lots of windows/doors, and the stove is in the living room. :-\

Wow. Pretty hard to have running water in a kitchen @ 9*, no? BTW, I've been drinking your THA clone recently. Very tasty! Stay warm...

Sweet! Would you call it cloned? I can't get THA any more, so you'd better believe I'll have that recipe on tap all summer and fall...

About as close as you can get, IMO. I say the hopping is dead on. I think the Munich gives it just a sliver more color and maltiness. Gonna rebrew and sub Vienna for some or all the Munich. I've been drinking THA almost since it came out and to have it basically on tap at my house is awesome!! Great job!
