Mark, NTHBA is covered for Friday. I need help Saturday if you are not going on a pub crawl.

The registration is open for the Bluebonnet and we have over 400 of the 1525 entries registered. Don't wait until the last minute to get your beers registered. If you are waiting to get a beer or two bottled up, go ahead and register what you have ready, then add the other beers later. We need a few...

Interesting. I am usually trying to dry out and thin hoppy beers however of course the lactose will work in the oposite direction. I will be interested to see how a so called "MilkPA" turns our. Me too :D We'll be doing a 10 gallon batch and in addition to the lactose, it will have 14 oun...

I use an immersion wort chiller. You can borrow mine.

Who's brewing and what are you brewing?

I'll be trying something different, a cream IPA. Like a regular IPA but with lactose sugar to boost the body and sweeten it up a bit.

You're asking about the Club Only Competitions. The extract competition is next month, so you'll need to brew quick.

Here's the COC schedule:

Thanks. We'll check into it.

I just added a page to the web site with the 2015 competitions. I will update the dates as soon as they are updated on the LSC web site.

Bill, thanks for getting this topic started. Guys and Gals it's definitely time to get your beers ready for the Bluebonnet. There is still time to knock out some lower gravity ales. Anything big or lagers should already be in the bottle and have had time to properly age and lager. For anyone who is ...

They're quite a way out west. Maybe we can coordinate a Saturday club brewery tour out there.

Thanks for the ideas. Keep 'em coming.

We are looking for suggestions for meeting locations. There are a couple of guidelines we use when scheduling a venue. 1. They must be able to accommodate 30-40 of us in a separate room since we use the PA system 2. Food would be nice 3. Beer is great, but some place that is BYOB would be awesome If...

Looks like we are around 10-11 kegs. I can bring my jockey box for overflow.

Many of us have a dream of running our own brewery. One of our own, Cary Hodson, is working to make his dream a reality. Cary is planning on opening a brew pub in downtown Garland. Intrinsic Brewing hopes to open their doors next October, but they need help. Cary has set up a crowd funding site to h...
