Another great move by our state government. http://rochester.ynn.com/content/all_news/585838/tax-to-increase-cost-of-craft-beer/
I've also heard there is a Fee now that's $200 a year for each type of beer sold. So if your a small brewery and sell lets say 8 different types over a years period. You owe the state $1600 annually. What sucks is that if a small nano brewery wants to sell one batch of something special. They still have to pay the $200 reg fee for the beer. Out of state beers already pay this. It's a label registration fee from what I've heard. My buddy works at six point down in NYC and says its gonna hit hard down there.

Cidah and Copy, I just cracked a bottle from on of you... I think it was Cidah's SN Celebration clone but I'm not positive. Since I keg everything I always forget to check my fridge and I still have some homebrews I was gifted in there. Well whatever beer this is, it tastes fantastic right now. I know it's probably past prime, but I love when a fairly hoppy beer starts to age the bitterness out. Mmmm mmmm good. Thanks!

Ok gcdowd just helped me to find out I misallocated a bag of BD-MOPA. As a result his value was high and Dannschuler's value was low (he was missing a charge for a BD mopa bag). All bags are accounted for on the order (none are missing).
Short version is please see post # 984, it has been updated with the actual cost owed and credits that have yet to be spoken for.
gcdowd's total is $128.74 and not 170.31
dannschuler's total is $311.63 and not $270.06. Dan you know owe $13.37 for grain cost.
This is an outrage!
But so is most everything that happens to me so I guess it was to be expected.
I sent over a payment along with a little sumptin' sumptin' for the coordinators.
Thanks again for all the work you guys put in on this.
I have wayyyy too many hobbies and I'm quite lazy so EVERYTHING tastes better kegged to me!
CidahMastah said:Well I decided to finally do little bottling experiment. I brewed a Belgian Dubbel and Golden a few weeks ago and decided to keg half and bottle the other half in champagne bottles.... What a PITA that was last night haha. Unfortunately I was running short on champagne bottles and only bottled the dubbel. But twisting all those wire baskets got old. Purpose of the experiment is to see if I prefer belgian bottle carbed vs. force carbed. will let you know in 6+ mos haha.
Looks like i need to search out another few cases of champagne bottles!
I did a Belgian Dark Strong (brewed 2/15, bottled 5/1). It may be ready for Xmas (at least one bottle). I bought the plastic corks (and drank A LOT) of Belgians) for the bottles. So far the corks are working with the wire ties. Thought it would be a nice experiment as it was faster and easier
Now I'm in the middle of my 1st decoction for an Oktoberfest!! Mmmm
CidahMastah said:Nice! I may jump on another lager this weekend as well.
yeah my thumb and index finger were showing signs of wear from all those wire baskets!
I am trying to decide if I should hit up waterloo container, or just buy from sunset.
