Re: Dry lager yeast -- WTF prices?!

I can understand shortages in hops or barley, but yeast? Am I mistaken or isn't it something that can be propagated indefinitely? There aren't any supply issues that would create a shortage.

Re: Orange County Fair Homebrew Competition

I got mine as well. I only received one score sheet. Is that normal? Additionally, I lost points because the judge did not know what the mead was spiced with, but my entry form clearly stated all the ingredients. That was a little annoying.

Siphon starter

In concept, this seems like a very easy way to get a siphon going. Does anyone use this? I'm conflicted as common sense says that you could get your own germs into your carboy, but More Beer is selling it and if it was a flawed/unsanitary method, then you'd wonder why they continued to sell it.

Re: GABF - 2011

A note to anyone considering going, it has sold out. I see that there are tickets for sale on Craigslist in Denver, and probably other places.

I'm going and Brew30 is going as well. I think our plan was Thursday night and Saturday afternoon sessions. I'm glad to hear you're going. Anyone else?

Re: Anaheim Brewery open this Friday

I *found* myself there again on Saturday night and the crowd was similar. It will be interesting to see how it settles out after the initial curiosity.
