    Before I knew any better I used to carry my full glass carboys upstairs by the red neck handle. Then I saw some of the horror stories online and nearly pooped myself. Can't imagine 5+ gal of sticky yeasty wort cascading down the stairs. The wife truly would kill me

    Also check out Henry St Taproom in Saratoga, if you haven't already. They have a good tap list with some hard to find beers.

    Not sure how I feel about it.
    They say it doesn't taste like chicken.
    Any thoughts fellow drinkers?

    I had a taster/splash months back at Mumford Brewing in Los Angeles and you could barely tell the taste of Chicken.Mumford were experimenting and i'm not actually sure if they ended up releasing it or are going to.I just so happened to stop in that day and was able to try it.

    Yikes!

    this is more what I'm concerned with... People talk about severing tendons.

    Although like anything else this is a small sample size and many people use glass with no problems. I ferment in a chest freezer so lifting up and down is what I'm concerned with.

    Warning graffic*

    Meh, it's not a really hobby unless you spill a little blood every now and then.

    When I do use glass I but them in a milk crate for easier and safer handling

    Almost lost my finger to my mill one morning. I wasn't fully awake yet and my finger got a bit too close to the 12" pully on the 1/2 HP motor. That kinda ruined brew day.

    I've always been worried about my glass carboys but so far I haven't injured myself. I have broken one though. You just got to respect the glass and be careful. I cringe when my dad handles them.

    Had this a few weeks ago and it was amazing. Picked up a French Toast Double Brown Ale that I am going to try tonight. Just making my way around breakfast

    Funky Buddha makes great brews. My trading partner in NY is moving to Florida so he'll be close to them now. I'm stoked. Get FB, cigar city and more

    Will do!

    They are all over the place down here. I just assumed they distributed nationally as much as they do in central/south Florida but I guess not. And having a trading partner seems like an awesome idea. I never thought of that.

    There's some distribution from FB but it's not huge outside of Florida from what I know.

    I'm a sucker for New England IPA.

    Anyone close to Treehouse Brewing willing to ship me some cans?

    I will be more than happy to compensate for your troubles :)

    I'd like to try out the Juluis, Green and Haze

    Haven't been to Treehouse (yet :D), but I know of other places that are not so "well known" with great NE IPAs.

    :anonymous:partaking of one right now.....

    Brother, hook it up! :drunk:

    We can trade cans if you'd like. I'm headed to Moonraker this Friday and, if I'm lucky enough, I might be able to score some Yojo and Dojo.

    Lucky. Well I'll have a connect soon so I'll probably get more than you!
    I've had all 3. And all 3 are amazing. Wish I was closer and had better access.
    Dude you're in MA. Get your ass to Tree House you bum! And Trillium! I think trills is better than TH but that's just me.
