If you want real beer you got to come to Oregon home of the micros.
drop top and hef by widmer bro’s
dead guy and smoked by the Rogue
and half the stuff full sail puts out
Can’t overlook Stella artois (proper wife beating beer for the europeans)
and personal fave for getting down and dirty PBR.
stupid v-diet I should be downing pitchers of Blue moon in an hour.
Wow, that’s rad. How long did it take to put that guy together?[/quote]
About three years. The Water Tank is a normal 15.5 gallon keg, the Wash Tun a 10gl igloo, and the Boiler is a 45 liter Japanese stock pot. I bought the stainless steel in Sweden where it is cheap and had it welded locally. The electrical heating element is computer controlled and is supported by two “Turkey Fryer” gas burners. I was given the teflon hoses by a medical supplier after I had called to ask them about sources. Thank god for people who appreciate beer.
Every weekend I usually buy an 18 pack of coors light and a 6 of good beer like Hoegaarden, Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout, Leinekugel’s Sunset Wheat, or anything else that looks good. I don’t think beer is as bad for bodybuilding as some make it out to be.
Beer is truly the nectar of the gods. I’m a big fan of almost anything dark and heavy. But I will enjoy a cheap light beer if offered one.
Some favs of mine. Leinenkugel Dark or Doppelbock or Big Butt, New Glarus Fat Squirrel (awesome with buffalo wings), Great Dane Stout, Port Washington Old Port Porter. Just to name a few of the locals.
I really think we should create a T-Nation beer club of the month. Every month you have to send a six-pack from a local brewery to a member. That would be sweet.
I have tried them all from Stone Brew all are great beer , plus try the southpaw its from denver, its gotta serious kick, similar to A. Bastard but a lot smoother going down

Awesome! That is a nice tower you’ve put together. With a sculpture like that you must have a conical fermenter as well? Do you keg it or bottle only?
I want to get a temperature controlled conical fermenter so I can make pilseners and lagers. I can’t accurately control my fermentation temperature with just a carboy or plastic fermenter.

Fuckin’ right it’d be sweet! Especially those of us who are underage.

I’m not paying the shipping to Thailand, you shit. PM me when you’re back in the NYC area and I might deliver you some homebrew - assuming you can prove you’re 21.
