i really wanna try that. all grain. its cheaper from what ive heard than going all malt.
It is cheaper, and you have a lot more control over your end product.
Sorry to derail this thread. It's still relevant to the topic. My favourite beer is what I brew.

im gonna have to try it. i can get grain anywhere, whereas malt, i needa go to a brew store.
How many hops do you need to get a good batch of lager going? My folks have a bunch of hops growing behind their garage. I would imagine it's not nearly enough to make a keg of some sort (8 or 16gal).

it doesnt take much man. i used a couple tablespoons for a 5 gallon batch i think.
of course, its up to your taste and if you dry-hop also.
Really an excellent question. This is such a personal thing - I like LOTS of hops, as I like my beer crisp, but there is a formula. Have a look here and see if this helps:

They have a lot of hops back there for it being a house on a city alley. Shit is going pretty good with no attention at all. I love the smell of those fresh hops though.

Try to find yourself a good brown ale. It's good for hot or cold weather.
Molson, Moosehead and Guinness.
First of all, a place with a capacity of 10,000 is by no standards considered a club, let alone a small club. Hell, the Fillmore is considered large by club standards, and it has a capacity of 1,200. 10,000 is a large theater or a small arena.
I have worked from the Independent in San Francisco (~500 capacity), to Golden Gate Park (200,000+ capacity), and everything in between, and I've never seen decent beer sold anywhere.
I drink a fair amount, about a six pack a day, yet I always buy what you call "fancy shit" because I drink beer for the taste, not for the sake of getting fucked up. When it comes to beer, I don't compromise quality for quantity. The only piss water I will willingly drink is PBR, and I only drink that when it's happy hour at the Boom Boom Room and PBR is $2 bucks a bottle.
Mmm... I can't quite say that I agree with that statement. Brown ale is one of my favorite kinds of beer, but it's not something I would drink on a hot day. It's not quite as sweet as a doppelbock, but it has a bit of a sweetish tinge to it that doesn't appeal to me on a hot day.

The Fitz' is the one I was at the last time they had all premium micro-brews. And to my surprise it is only a capacity of a little over 1K. You're right the larger "arenas" that have concerts with GA usually only get around 10K on the floor.

I was drinking Saku in Estonia last week and I was pleasantly surprised :glugglug:
