Just wondering if any of the other homebrewers coming this year where slick like me and put their homebrew in plastic (or are sneaking it in)? If you are, let me know and we can throw a little homebrew shindig. i'm bringing a India Brown Ale (it's awesome).

If you do have a homebrew shindig I would love to come and try out some of yourbrews. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any of my own as I am not capable of successfully homebrewing. I have tried it twice with less than acceptable results. The first time I must not have sterilized things properly and the batch had to be dumped out. The second time I made some over-carbonated lager. Not really surewhat happened, but pouring 2 OZ into a pint glass caused it to basically foam over the top of the glass.
I wish I could homebrew successfully. I have tried it twice with less than acceptable results. The first time I must not have sterilized things properly and the batch had to be dumped out.

Lagers are for pro's... stick to ales (i have been at it for a year and haven't made a lager). over carbonation comes from too much bottling sugar, not letting it finish fermenting before bottling, and infection.

Sounds like your final gravity was a little high. The extra sugar left in the brew (plus what you added to prime) will definatly overcarbonate a beer.
and while I am an avid homebrewer (and homebrew store employee) I will be flying in and cannot bring my own brew. One of these days I'll make the drive to Roo w/ a few 5-gal kegs in tow.

I'm a beginning homebrewer, though I won't be bringing any brew to Bonnaroo. My first batch was a brown ale that was pretty OK. Second was an IPA that wasn't very good (I'm guessing an incomplete fermentation). Last batch is an Irish Red that seems OK, but a bit undercarbonated. I really need to get down to the homebrew shop one of these days and get started on another batch.
