Hit all my targets. Lag time before I saw visible activity was about 18 hours. Fermenting nicely at 65°F now.

Can't wait to sample this when I rack it.

Thanks a ton grub! In fact I am travelling with a less beery companion (he's into cognac, cigars and such).

A pile of local drafts (Note: all draft beer in Utah is max 3.2% abv), and an extensive bottle list, focussing on US beers, but there is also plenty of international representation. I tried a bunch, as this place was mere steps from my hotel, b...

Not easy to find (interesting) beer retail here. Exactly the same macro junk and local low ABV stuff in every grocery store and gas station. I had bombers of Epic IPA and witbier in the restaurant of the hotel I'm staying at (Bambara at The Monaco, excellent food too, top rated chef in SLC I'm told)...
