Was on vacation last week in SoCal with my wife. Went to a taping of The Tonight Show - so I wore my club shirt hoping to get on national TV with it....and I did!



Not the best picture I know....but I still think it's cool!

Hey guys - had a great time meeting and hanging out with you all this past weekend. I got into a discussion with a few folks about eBay temperature controllers and I wanted to post here to remind you guys. :lol: I think we discussed me purchasing and bringing all of the required materials and filmin...

Since this is literally in my 'hood - I wanted to come brew too. Anyone know what the situation is water/electricity wise??

I hope not. I wrote to my councilman to support it. I don't know how much a difference it makes - but I'd like to think so.

This is great news. Dallas (what I've come to call "The City of NO!") is finally doing something beneficial for itself.

Very cool. I'll probably be there with my NTHBA work shirt on.

Finally bought tickets for my wife and I to go. I sprung for the VIP tickets since that will get us into the Deep Ellum Brewery party later in the day. Any other NTHBA'ers going??

hmmm $35 and two additional cards, total $39 for 36 oz's.. slightly more than $1 and oz... I think I'll just go over to WF, they give samples for free :lol: You're a little off. Additional cards are a quantity of (12) 2-oz. samples = 24 more ounces. That's 48 oz. of beer for a mere $39. Now that's ...

Seeing as it's just around the corner from us, the wife and I will be there.


On a side note - 2oz. samples?? This must be a blue law restriction.

Every other year my wife and I have an Oktoberfest party at our home. We hire Alan Walling to perform and we have a good ole time. We decorate our backyard to make it look like a beer garden and I typically cook a BUNCH of sausages with all the sides. I would be willing to invite everyone over for o...

Sorry I didn't make it - SWMBO had other plans for me I was told.....

I'll bring some to brew day on Sunday and let you guys tell me what you think of this mighty fine porter.

Cool, thanks for the info. I've got an amazing porter on tap right now I think I'll bottle for competition. Is the three bottle rule the same for the Bluebonnet? I've heard great things about that competition and I would really like to attend this year.

Thanks again.

So - I've been telling myself every year I'm going to enter some competitions this year. I said that two years ago....I said that last year.....and the only thing I've ever done is the Oak Cliff "Brew Riot". It was a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but I want to enter real competitions. I'...

i thought they were inaccurate at the end of fermentation..

There is a formula to convert the FG reading on a refractometer to account for the alcohol present in your final beer. I just use this site - http://onebeer.net/refractometer.shtml
