…everything else.
Being the n00b that I am I wanted to find out more about the competition side of things. Specifically, if you brew from a recipe that someone else has already come up with are you obliged to name the beer the same, call it a clone, or can you just come up with your own name?

I got an idea for a beer: acai-chocolate wheat beer. I have 32 oz bottle of acai juice from Sprouts that I was going to use in a Firkin at Dry Dock, but Bill says it is a beer crime to use it. So, I was going to use it in an extract batch while I wait for my stuff from Blichmann.
The acai berries have a black-or blueberry flavor with hints of chocolate towards the end. I figure that it would go well with a touch of chocolate wheat malt and some chocolate beer flavoring.
Your opinions on this possible “Beer Crime”?
I just wanted to let all the Hoppers know that there are several large walls left over from the walk-in fridge we just built for the Rockyard bottling building.
Use your imagination as to what you could do with these…if you were thinking of making a fermentation temp controlled room then this could help.
Very easy to work with, Metal covered solid walls.
Let us know ASAP or it’s all going in the trash.

I am planning to go to this year’s NHC. I have never gone to one before. I noticed that there were different packages regarding registration fees (i.e. banquet package). Can anyone recommend which package to go for? Also I have reserved a room at the conference hotel ($129/night). The room has two beds. If anyone wants to split the price of the room, let me know (wardargust@gmail.com).
