Thanks Murph!

12+ years of brewing...lagers are definitely my favorite, especially a Schwarzbier, though a Czech Dark is a close 2nd.

Yeah that's the one I was talking about...I probably embellished a little on it's near NH, but it's definitely closer to New Hampshire than it is to Braintree thanks to Expressway traffic! But hey, all us South Shore people think anything north of Boston is New Hampshire. ;) There is a very...

Yeah like everything else, grain, yeast, hops etc have gone up in price. My LHBS closed a few years ago, not really due to a drop in customers, but due to an owner who wanted to save money by closing every store in his chain but the original one, in order to put the money into the brewery he...

Welcome Jim! Been using Whale Pods for some time for shipping beers to comps. Great products and zero broken bottles!

Brewed an American Lager on Saturday at my club's Big Brew Day. Used malted corn for the first time, which caused me to miss my OG by 7 points, but have to say the aroma coming out of the kettle was amazing, sort of combo of a freshly made corn tortilla and a fermenting pizza dough.
