Thank you, my good chums, for allowing me to have a chance of winning such a splendid prize, worthy of kings. I look forward to the drawing; I will bring my finest jesters.

that's what im hoping to do. how exactly did you get your job?

Kind of hard not to take that the wrong way, however I like the imagery. I guess I romanticized the industry to myself, but I don't necessarily think that's such a bad thing. Keeps me optimistic. But not about my job chances. I'm just going to hang in there, see if I can get a job doing...

Schwing!

Well this is starting to really get me down... I realize that breweries are more or less factories, however I guess that you're right that after all is said and done, it's still a business. That all being said, I still think it's something I need to do. I want the experience so someday down...

Phunhog, I'm definitely going to have to check those out; that definitely sounds like something that would set me apart from people who are just looking for any old job or people who simply think beer is pretty cool rather than something to make a career out of. For anyone else interested, in...

Despite how the pay sounds and how hard the work is, I still would like to get into the industry. I'd rather be making small amounts of money if it's a job that I love instead of making more money at a job that I can't stand. I interviewed several times for a job selling DirecTV subscriptions...

Sorry, didn't notice this one on here. It may not sound too glamorous, but I already do that for my current jobs. If I'm in the field I want to be in, then it'll be all the glamor I need, even if it doesn't pay well. And heck, maybe I'll win the lottery while I'm working there. That will...

Schemy: I think that I can do that. I'm planning on going to several beer fests in the next month, so I will try to talk to the people there; hopefully they will send an actual brewer to the event for questions and it won't be a madhouse for the lines so I can actually get a word in edgewise to...

gmcapone: do you happen to know if NOLA was looking to hire more people? I've talked to most breweries in NH and they all said the same thing: "We're not actively looking to add more people right now, but we'll keep your info on file." Schemy: Would you recommend just volunteering my time...

Thanks, I'll check that out now. Any advice from anyone that's perhaps working at a brewery or has a friend that does? I realize that a lot of people are probably looking to get jobs in the industry, but I'm not just someone looking for a "cool" job. I'm actually interested and the fact that...

I'm looking to break into the world of brewing full time. This is the only thing that I've truly been passionate about, but I'm really stuck on the **** end of the stick, where it sounds like I need all sorts of expensive certifications and such to even have a chance of getting a job. Even if...

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I managed to find a place that sells it. Its called The Liquor Shop in Tyngsboro, MA, just across the road from the Pheasant Lane Mall.

wowsers, this is one hell of a giveaway. GOOD THING I JUST BECAME A PAYING MEMBER. THANKS HBT!

So it seems like this has been stagnant for a while, just wondering if anyone here had managed to track down a recipe yet. I had this in Virginia and thought it was the best hard cider I've ever had and would love to make some. Soooo... Anything?

Ill have to check this out. Going to see if my local store has them, but they just opened up recently so maybe, maybe not. I'd love to help them get off the ground though. Thanks

sounds good. i hope that picture helps anyone else looking to figure out what kind they need. for anyone else reading this thread, the spartanburg label was in the bottom left on top underneath the warning of not pressurizing too high. thanks to everyone that helped and offered advice

there is the clip/spring assembly on there, but the keg is still pressurized i believe, which is why i'd like to get the coupler soon so i can take it apart and clean it. as far as i've been able to tell online, the two ways to relieve the pressure is to use the tap or to push the ball lock...

After closer inspection, I found the name Spartanburg on it. No idea how I've passed over that so many times since I've gotten it. Here's a picture, let me know if you need to see it from a different angle or something.

i just got a sanke keg from a friend, but i can't figure out how to tell which kind of coupler im going to need to buy for it. what should i be looking for? the keg isnt from one of the big breweries, so its not on one of the lists for what kind of coupler ill need, which is where im getting...
