Re: Thanks
Dennis made some additional interesting comments as the last of us cleaned things up. He mentioned the poor crop last year in Germany and that the current trend of highly hopped beers is pushing the limits of the available supply. Hops that cost him $8 per pound before, are now costing $25 per pound...

Celtic Brew Off
Don't forget, the deadline for the Celtic Brew Off is this Thursday (April 3rd). You can drop your beers off at either Homebrew Headquarters or The Wine Makers Toy Store. Be sure to pack them up in boxes, not just 6 pack carriers.

Re: Bluebonnet Brew-Off Peoples Choice Beers
Brian and I both have chiller plates in our jockey boxes, so that should be good enough to chill the beer. I can bring a big cooler to hold the kegs in if we want to put some ice on them, but since we'll be indoors that may be overkill. Make sure that everyone who is bringing beer enters it on the B...

Re: Bluebonnet Brew-Off Peoples Choice Beers
We may want to consider bringing a couple of jockey boxes for the overflow.

Re: Giving away homebrew
It sounds like you could do BYOB. Let us know when you are open and maybe we could hold an officer's meeting there.

Re: Giving away homebrew
I've known of restaurants that have given away beer to diners while the business waits for their TABC license to be approved. I would definitely try contacting the state regarding your plans, especially if you are ever planning on applying for a liquor license.

Best Little Brewfest in Texas - June 21st
I received word about this event and thought I'd put the word out.
The event was at Texas Motor Speedway last year, but this year, they are moving to Lewisville.

Re: Oxygen tank
Air is 21% oxygen and extended exposure to 100% oxygen will lead to oxygen toxicity. The valves for O2 tanks are different, so you could not get that SCUBA cylinder filled with oxygen. There are a lot of considerations to take into account when filling a cylinder with pure oxygen, the primary one be...

Re: question for those using keggles
It varies based on how much of the top was cut out. Bigger hole = higher boil-off. My experience was closer to the 1.25 - 1.5 gallons per hour.

Re: Dry Hopping question
I think two weeks should be sufficient to extract the aroma and age is probably not your problem, especially if the hops you are using are in the sealed foil bags. However, the hop bag may be contributing to the problem. When I dry hop, I just toss the hop pellets in loose and then siphon carefully ...

Re: Dry Hopping question
I certainly wouldn't boil them for 10-20 minutes. You'd loose a lot of aroma in the steam. Are you placing your hops in a bag or letting them loose in the carboy? How long do you leave them in? What amount are you adding? Also, the age of the hops will make a difference. What varieties are you using?
