Thankyou for your replies. Beer Lord that is a great deal. BP That was extremely informative. I have already told him I just wanted 2 though. I am sure I will regret that later but I just hate taking advantage of people.

A friend who used to work for Cocacola told me he has 10 pinlocks and asked me if I wanted any. First I told him he could easily sell them for $40 each because I didn't want to take advantage. He still wanted to give me some so I said I would take 2. That will give me 8 kegs. I have yet to have all ...

Welcome back. And CONGRATULATIONS on the new job. You will learn a great deal that will help you in your home brewing and that you can teach us. :clink: As far as the cutbacks, I hadn't thought about mining equipment.

They have this on tap at Old Chicago. It is extremely good.

To avoid the bitter finish I never add any hops at all until the last 15 minutes of the boil. For an orange flavor the combination of Simcoe and Amarillo really seem to provide that. I don't know which hop is doing the orange though.

I saw that Saturday. This was my review of it... Batman vs Superman was a huge disappointment. It was a 3 hour long drawn out movie with very little, if any, action until the last hour. Batman was ruthless and cruel and did use firearms, which is fine, but it is a step away from what his character h...
