    Haha, any time, man. This is to go on top of a case of Brooklyn Winter I got last night and a few 120's, Faithfull, Hellhound, Cigar City Russian Imperial, and Bitches Brew that I already had. I usually don't stock up like this but kind of liking it.

    I brought back a bunch of cans and bottles today in exchange for their last 12pack of SN Tumblers. Like 10 bucks worth of redemption. One last enjoyment of fall at the end of the night tonight. Probably save the rest for winter.

Any home brewers have any tips for a rookie? Or perhaps, there is an entire thread about this *searches for home brewing thread*

    Here's a good page with info:

    http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/index.html

    My tips are to use actual hops and not pellet hops. Also, make sure everything is good and sanitized. Your local brew shop should hook you up with tips and advice. My shop makes kits for $35-40. Try to avoid kits that are in a can and come from far away. Have fun, it's pretty easy with only basic cooking skills.

    Sweetwater is the local beer here. Their extra pale is not bad. a little different, but not special. I drink it when i go to a resturant and they have bass, guiness, miller lite, amber bock, blue moon and sweetwater 420 (seems those listed before are at every resturant and they throw sweetwater in because it is local)

    Their IPA i think is the best of Sweetwater's year round line up. It is a unique IPA in that it has more of a grapefruit flavor than a lot of the others. Its not for everyone but easily my fav from Sweetwater

    They released Fresh Sticky Nugs recently which was a nice red but if you are not in the area i don't know if it will be easy to find.

    I don't know what kind of kit you got, but my buddy got a Mr. Beer a few months back and as long as you follow the instructions to the T you're just fine with that particular one. It's definitely a beginner's kit. That said, we have done two batches – actually finished off the second batch last night – and we will be brewing a third batch tonight. The beer has actually been quite tasty. We just had the 'blonde' brew and I would drink that stuff over several other blondes I've had....especially Shiner.
    We hope to expand our operation in the near future. It's good fun and good beer, but the waiting is the hardest part.

    Also, we tried some Lazy Magnolia Indian Summer last night for the first time and it was quite tasty. It could easily be a go-to brew for summer grilling and what not, but it's brewed year round. Magnolia is Mizzip's only brewery and I really don't know how widely it is distributed, but they've got some damn good beers
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    First one on the night was a blue point winter. Decent, nothing special.

    Southern Tier Old Man Seasonal Winter. I like it a lot.

    I don't know if it was Otter Creek Oktoberfest, or their Winter Ale, but one of them was really fucking good.
