    Artificially limiting the supply results in higher rated beer

    Sam Calagione states in his book Brewing up a Business that when DFH first releases a new offering, that they intentionally make less than there is demand for it. "We make sure that the first time we release something, there is not enough of it to satisfy demand. This sound crazy, and we...

    Do worms like brewing by-products?

    They love it. Make sure to let the grains cool first. I had a bin I had a colony in, dumped the grains right after i finished the sparge. The heat from the grains killed the majority of my worms. Had to start a new colony, now i let the grains cool off before adding.

    Headed East; Beer Recommendations please.

    I used to live on 5th street in Surf City. You are correct, where you are is a horrible location for a craft beer lover. Forget a grocery store or gas station. Best bet is Swing Bridge beer and wine, but they are limited and winter is slow for then. They have a lot better turn over in the summer...

    never take individual gravity readings again

    It said the shape does not matter. It said the volume (that would be the size of the wort) had a "Significant Difference". The answer to your question is in the reference material you have provided. I'll just echo what most everyone else has said. They are not going to ferment at the...

    flying with brew

    I flew three DFH 120 home from Colorado this past Christmas since the powers that be of GA consider anything over 14 percent not beer. Anyway all I did was wrap in bubble wrap and zip lock and threw em in with my other luggage and had no problems. I know they searched it too because they left...
