Sorry for the double Chris. I'm working with the file names.

Some day I'll get a pic of you without a beer and Greg not giving the finger.

Thanks to all, especially Kyle.

Thanks to All for your efforts. Another great event
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Also, if anyone wants to make cornbread, here's what I used. Didn't measure the cheese or Jalaps tho, just threw a bunch in.

The corn bread was great, as were the beer beans.

You should post the recipe in the food recipe section :cheers2:

Thanks for letting this stranger show up and eat your food/drink your beer :)

Couldn't walk 5 feet without having someone offer to pour beer into my glass or point out a tap and say "try that one". Sampled some damn good beer - I like beer you can tar a roof with, and Bad Apple (?) Russian Stout was the highlight of my night. Also talked to plenty of people about the "full" process of homebrewing (I've only ever brewed wort kits) learned plenty and forgot even more. Even got offers from various different people to just "come on by next time we do a boil"

What can I say, you're a good gang of people. Had an awesome night. Thanks again!

I will have to arrange to swing by and collect my bean container and my ball lock thumb tab hose. Keith generously collected my keg and CO2. Thanks for that!

I thought you took those when we left that night. Sorry on that one. At least the beer, keg and CO2 are home safely haha. :cheers2:

I could be wrong, but I don't think Jeff (Bad Apple) was able to bring any beer with - so that may have been brewed by someone else. Glad you enjoyed yourself!
