    Beer Advocate's 100 best beers ever

    I shouldn't have looked back at that list. Now it's p1ssing me off. LOL It states best of all time, not just last year.... Not a single Brasserie Dupont beer yet Hennepin made it... (not bashing Hennepin, it's good just not what I consider the best saison by about 5 places...) No lambics...

    Beer Advocate's 100 best beers ever

    Hey Hab, Maybe try some New Belgium 1554 or Allagash's Black, those shouldn't be too far from your "stout" taste but with a little belgian twist. Oh and they aren't stouts, just trying to think of things you might not mind. For a real belgian stout, De Dolle's Special Extra Export Stout is...

    Beer Advocate's 100 best beers ever

    $4??? It's 6 or more in Western PA but still worth it when fresh.

    Beer Advocate's 100 best beers ever

    I certainly disagree but everyone's tastes are different. To me Pliny the Younger blows away the Elder but far less people would have had it. I have no idea how this list is generated but at least they got some things right. My personal preference would have St. Bernardus ABT12 at number 1...

    Fermentation temperatures

    Dry yeast actually has lipids with it which typically means O2 isn't needed unless you are repitching yeast that originally started dry, at that point it would need it since they have already been used. Oh and there are some people who use a small drop of olive oil to provide these oils as...

    Fermentation temperatures

    BV - what yeast did you use? I would personally warm it up. Yeasts don't like to drop in temp before they are done, they can become shocked and just stop working. And it is true that many ale yeasts will work below 60 at a slow rate and finish just fine, but some are pretty finicky with...

    What's fermenting now?

    You can put the hops in hop bags or nylon paint strainer bags and actually boil them that way. There are a bunch of pics with how people try and do this. I have done it a few ways. The easiest, use a clothes pin and pin it to the handles of the kettle. A friend just put holes in the top of...

    i need a beer fridge! halp!

    Buy used. By far the best way. I suspect you need two though. One for beer to drink and one for "lagering" and/or crash cooling your home brews. A freezer with a temp controller, as mentioned above, is your best bet for the later.

    Recommend Some IPAs

    Lots of decent IPAs out there. Afraid I drank something that was amazing and sadly most pale in comparison.... One was from Pizza Port which they do not appear to make any longer plus I can't remember the name exactly... Sad really, by far the best I've had. The other is Russian River's...

    New terrain at Seven Springs

    I have another. :) when on the lift, all the woods to the right of the EC shoot look like prime space. Probably have to tie in somewhere just past or in conjunction with the middle EC1 section where 007 and EC meet. Just another idea and I of course haven't scoped it so maybe it's a no go...

    New terrain at Seven Springs

    Hey Martis, I must admit I have a jumping bug right now, so my recommendation might not be liked or even possible but what about extending superconnector straight on right after the last table instead of going into the woods? Maybe have more jumps/berms and then dump u off at the berm right...

    Petrus aged pale ale, Drie Fonteinen kriek, and Troubadour blonde. Sadly in that order but after seeing the cost of the Kriek I decided I better go a little cheaper. All three beers are great, first time with the blonde. Love 3 Fonteinen's Krieks. :-)
