    You guys that are home brewing, are you buying your supplies locally or online? I'd like to try my hand at brewing.

    Thanks guys. The only things I've seen locally are the cheapo plastic kegs that are sold at Macys at Christmas time. If I do it, I'd like some decent equipment.

    Be careful with overcarbonated homebrew, today's over carbonation could be tomorrow's bottle bombs.

    Bottle bomb's are normally twist lids. No respectable beer drinker drinks beer from a twist off. I doubt hoker would bottle his brew in a twist off bottle.

    bottle bombs are what happens when your homebrew over-carbonates. If you bottle before fermentation is done, or add too much sugar for bottle conditioning: POW.

    Went to the nations captial today... did a little shopping with the misses... then did a little beer shopping at some wine & spirts. Picked up a 4 pack of dogfish 120 minute ( limit per customer ) 1 Dogfish head Immort ale, and a few other IPA's and a brown ale that doesnt have much flavor which im drinking right now. glad it was only $1.99. Afterwards we stopped @ lost rhino brewery on the way home and took the tour and had a few samples. Nothing spectacular.. however it is the only tour that ive been on that i have ever gotten to take a sample of brew where its kept before filtering and bottled.

    I agree! It's pretty good, better than the angry orchard stuff. It's pretty sweet so I normally don't want to drink more than one.

    Yeah it's sweet that's for sure. I don't mind though. I can have a few then I got to switch it up.

    I got a pretty decent haul from a buddy in Denver. Really looking forward to trying the Crooked Stave, The Bruery, and of course, the Russian River offerings.
