    So there's only 11 in the entire U.S. that display some Heritage models....3 of which are in my state.  Wow...

    Not entirely accurate. There are only 11 that are CERTIFIED Heritage dealers at this time. Meaning they participate in our program. There may be several other dealers near you that are pending certification or are not yet participating, yet still display Heritage products. One of the goals of this program is to highlight those dealers who proudly and properly display our Heritage products in their showroom. If you don't see any in your area, you should contact the other dealers in your area and check if they carry Heritage, and if they do, ask them if they plan on participating in our Certified Heritage Dealer program.

    None within 250 miles of me:(

    There probably is at least one within that range that hasn't yet been officially "Certified" as of yet. I have a list of 31 Retail dealers that are in the process or have already been approved. Stay tuned! We're still getting dealers to participate in this. In the meantime, you could contact the Klipsch dealers closest to you and ask them why they aren't yet a Certified Heritage Dealer. :)

  3. We are taking steps to ensure people know there are still ways to listen to our speakers in a dealer showroom. We've started a Certified Heritage Dealer program, and have made some improvements to our online dealer locator as well. Check out the new and improved dealer locator, and more info about the Certified Heritage Dealer program here: https://www.klipsch.com/dealers -- you can even just look up all the Certified Heritage Dealers there, which shows what they carry as well as a pic of their showroom. This is just a partial list at this time... Many more Certified Heritage Dealers (and some additional dealer locator improvements) to come!!

     

    Certified Heritage Dealers showcase a minimum of two dedicated 2-channel Klipsch Heritage Classic speaker systems in a home setting, in addition to other legendary and Inspired speakers in the line. These hand-selected dealers are fully capable and qualified to assist you find the ultimate sound experience. Please contact them to confirm they have a specific product before visiting.

     

    Klipsch Heritage products are also available to order online from a select network dealers in the United States. The speakers will ship in book-matched pairs with the option of white-glove delivery service.

    That was a step in the right direction, but ... if new customers can't hear them it's a pity.

     

    Whatever happened to tasting the fruit at the Adam Smith fruit stand?

     

    Back in the day, the ENTIRE lineup of the time (Khorn, Belle, La Scala, Cornwall, Heresy) was demonstrated daily, along with a sampling of JBL, Altec, AR, Bozak, etc., etc., in the following  San Francisco Bay Area Stereo Stores:

     

    Berkeley Custom Electronics

    Pro Audio

    The Listening Post

    The Good Guys

    Christopher's Audio

    Poor Richard

    A small store on College Ave. in Berkeley -- name lost in the mists of antiquity.

     

    Agreed!

    Sure would be great if the web site software didn't scramble the order of the photos, no matter how you upload them....Would really make it nice to create a good looking posting.

     

    @Chad

    After you submit the post, you should be able to edit the post and move the pics around. Another option would be to use the Gallery feature here and embed your gallery in your post. Galleries are pretty customizable in terms of ordering images and things like that.

    Three Floyds Zombie Dust!

    I loves it. I loves it so much I made a clone of it last year, and it even turned out good!

    Here, here!

    The last beer I made (tapped a couple weeks ago -- a vanilla milkshake IPA) is so good that I may finally be onto something here. Even my coors light drinking dad and my Milwaukee's Best Light drinking Dad-in-law both love it.

    It seems that the highlight/quote function works fine in Chrome but not IE, at leasts for me.

     

    The @Chad alert function is the same.  Fine in Chrome but not IE.

    IE11? Invision just released an update today that addresses a bunch of bugs in IE11. I'll probably install that update tomorrow morning.

  8. This thread derailed in record time! Not sure if proud, ashamed, or both!

     

    As for the OP: there are notification settings that I believe allow you to adjust those things.

    @Chadwhat is your fav brew pubs in the Indy area?

    My local fave top 10 list (in no particular order):

     

    Bier - no food served, but they consistently have a solid list of beers on tap.

    Black Acre (might be my favorite overall in Indy)

    Chilly Water

    Big Lug

    Brew Link (no food)

    Deviate (no food - but some of the more creative beers around here)

    Taxman

    Scarlet Lane

    Centerpoint

    Moontown Brewing in Whitestown is an up & comer on my list. They just recently opened, but their food and beer are REALLY good. Plus they have Klipsch Professional speakers inside and outside the building!

    Looks great, Chad. I'm way behind on production this year. Hopefully you have motivated me to get rolling. This weekend St. Patrick's Day parade with my Port 'O Brew from above. But for sure the weekend of 3/24 grains will be heated and liquids will be boiled.

     

    @CECAA850 It is a fantastic time waster and money suck. Get going. You already have the tunes covered in your shop, er brewery.

    Be sure to share pics of your brew day!

     

    Yes this hobby is rather pricey. I have been looking at what gear to buy for my batch size upgrade next year. I'm hoping to do a "buy once, cry once" kinda thing, so I don't have to make any more large purchases for brewing for many years. Spike Brewing (https://spikebrewing.com/) seems to have some good stuff at decent prices....

  11. Brewed a simple Irish Dry Stout on Saturday. Here are some pics. 

     

    grains.jpg

    The grains.

     

    brewstand.jpg

    The janky, makeshift "brewstand" (not fully in position here)

     

    beer.jpg

    Gotta have a beer when you make beer. State law. Normally I drink one of my own homebrews during a brew day, but I was sadly out. So, I chose to drink some Barley Buddy Brown from one of my favorite local breweries, The Bier Brewery. Man this stuff is good.

     

    tunes.jpg

    Also gotta have some tunes. Using my KMC 3 (the KHorns are "in the shop", AKA, "not built or even purchased yet" -- cut me some slack)

     

    mash.jpg

    Mash in. I always love the aroma mashing gives off. So yummy!

     

    boil.jpg

    The boil. About 7.2 Gallons of sweet, sweet wort here.

     

    fermenting.jpg

    And finally, 6 hours later (including cleanup / prep time), here's the beer in the Fast Ferment vessel.

     

    In 2 weeks, I get to put that beer in a keg, carbonate it, and a few days after that I get to drink it!

    Didn’t I see some of you on that show Moonshiners?

     

    I went to a business once that had all the equipment, recipes and all ingredients. They taught us how to do everything including bottling. I made a Lager and it sucked. Very bitter. I think I bottled it too soon, they said minimum of 14 days; but, 21 days preferred. It was the holiday season and i was having company so i bottled it on day 14. 

    Never tried it again.

    Lagering requires pretty strict temperature control (lower temps) during fermentation phase - which is why I haven't made a lager myself yet. I really want to make a Marzen/Oktoberfest though, so I'll have to figure something out. (temporarily using my upright freezer for fermenting instead of dispensing perhaps)

     

    Whelp... I know of a project I need to do (was planning on a jockey box anyway, but I like this design)

    As for yeast... I haven't tried harvesting my yeast after fermentation yet. Too scared I'd contaminate it somehow. I just buy new yeast (usually in a wyeast smack-pack) for each brew day. I have made 1 starter, when I made a clone of Three Floyds' Mummy Dust (6.0% ABV). It came out pretty well.

    I've been brewing since 1995. Hard to believe but there was no vast Internet of opinions/information/misinformation back then.

    Not hard to believe! I only wish I would have started back then, even with the lack of available information.

     

    I'm lucky in that we have a really good LHBS here in Indy (Great Fermentations) - and they have been very helpful in my learning.

    Currently I have a single tier stand that I build for brewing with 30 gallon pots. I typically brew 15 or 20 gallons at a time and have a 3-keg commercial cooler that I converted to hold 12 cornie-kegs with 8 serving taps. So I can server 8 an condition the others. Also have two other fridges for Hops, yeast, lagering and clod crashing beers

    That sounds amazing. I started with a couple stove-top 1-gallon extract kits, and immediately got bit by the bug and upgraded to a 5-gallon all-grain setup. I'm trying to find time to have my dad teach me welding (finally, probably 25 years past when I SHOULD have learned) by building a brew stand -- I currently use an old desk that I move for setting the mash tun and HLT on. It's janky as hell.

     

    I have a temp regulator on an upright freezer in my garage where I keep my 2 kegs, and taps on the door. Will eventually "upgrade" to a chest freezer to convert into a "keezer" for more capacity. I also plan on upgrading to 10-gallon setup after this year. Although now I'm thinking going with 20gal! 5gal certainly doesn't last long enough. One brew I made (a raspberry wheat) was gone 2 days after I tapped the keg. It was too good!

     

    If I end up brewing this weekend I'll post some pics.
