With patience and dedication you would be surprised what you can accomplish. More seriously, how about brewing smaller batches? If you have a bunch of 5 gallon kegs that might not work for you but you could get a few smaller kegs or even ... shudder .... bottle.

I take the company into account when I'm buying stock. If I'm buying beer, the only thing I care about is whether I like drinking it.

Unfortunately they are closing down; what little inventory left is 60% off. They are planning on still selling large equipment like Blichman, Grainfather but they are getting out of the ingredient business.

Last time I stopped by they were closed and planning on relocation. Not sure about their current status.

Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is not a great place for beers but it's getting a little better. The only brewery I'm aware of in the Gatlinburg area is Smokey Mountain Brewery. I really like their porter. There other beers are OK but nothing special IMO. As for local beers, any of the saisons by...

The Guntersville area is really nice. I think you will like it there.

Good news -- 20% off. Bad news -- it's a warehouse liquidation sale. :( http://www.rebelbrewer.com/blog/warehouse-closing-faq

That will work.

kegconnection has used pin-lock kegs for $35 right now. I've got several kegs from them and they are awesome. Shipping was quick and reasonable to East Tennessee, so probably similar to Eastern NC.

Well there's your problem ... you're living on what looks like about a 90-degree slope. I'm surprised all those trees haven't fallen over by now.

For me, beer is like music. There are only two styles. Beers I like and beers I don't.

Nonsense you say? On the internet? Why yes, yes I have.
