If a bar says no, respect that. They pay a lot of money for their zoning and liquor/beer & wine licenses and you could be risking them losing their license should someone from the ABT show up. Here is the applicable statute...

What do you sell the 1/6 barrel kegs to your customers for?

Are you selling quarter bbl or 6ers for the most part?

The profitability thing is just like he mentioned. It takes a few years to recover you investment in most cases no matter how big you start. The balance sheet will be positive within a couple months most likely. The thing I like about this is that he has 2 guys to share the load. Managing that...

Local craft beer bar did the resin top over pennies. It looks awesome.

Where bouts are ya? I use ACE. Uhaul is a little cheaper.

I fully support sending in a bad beer to get the judges to figure out what the off flavor is. They are completely impartial and don't have to look you in the eye and tell you your beer sucks. Taking it to the LHBS or to other people in general is good, but there is nothing like getting someone...

They can add pectins to the beer that make it cloudy. Oscar Blue's Put out a beer that is dry hopped to the limit and they beer is cloudy.

In distilling you aren't storing the mash in a copper container for long periods of time. When you distill a mash the contact time isn't sufficient to pick up enough dissolved ions to make it even remotely toxic. Therefore copper kettles are OK in brewing, fermentors are not...

Brew early on the weekend and brew 2 batches a month. It takes about 5 hours to do a 5 gallon batch all grain. Start at 6am and you are done by 11am. Plenty of time for the wife and kids. Every two weeks you'll have another one ready after the initial lag time.

Homebrew and hot pockets don't mix well. I'm tearing up as I type this. Like rancid garlic.

http://www.bjcp.org/colorguide.php Use the color chart in the website and the a 5cm wide glass. If you don't have a 5cm glass, pour the beer to 5cm and look through it. My guess is that those dubbels are probably lighter than you think.

Are you using a good source for figuring the SRM? Sometimes beers will appear darker than they are due to the depth of the vessel. I'm not sure if there is a standard vessel to use to determine SRM of a beer or not, but you would think there would be.

I got Columbus and they sent me Teamaker for free, so I planted it anyway. The crowns were in great shape and were shooting up green within a day of planting them. The only thing I am worried about is getting a frost for a couple nights in the next few months. I'll just have to be watchful...

I just planted some crowns from Great Lakes Hops. Any advice? Those pots have 1 bag of black gold at the bottom and 2 bags of potting soil on top. The plants are taking off already and the teamaker is just about to reach the chord. What should I do about pruning? Should I try and...

35 batches - 200 gallons.

I probably have around $2500+ in equipment and I brew 10.5 gal batches. With all the overhead (electricity, gas, water, ingredients) and amortization of the equipment, I brew for around $1.10/pint per year.

First brew ever was some $25 beer kit I bought from Wally world when I was in college. The instructions were in chinese or badly translated chinese. I didn't know anything about cleaning or sanitation. I didn't wait for the wort to cool and I pitched hot. When I transferred the beer into the...

Southern is a haul from St Pete unless you work in Tampa and can get to the shop after work. Your best bet is one of the online retailers for the starter kit. A better thing to do would be to hook him up with one of the brew clubs in the area and let them give him 1 on 1 help. The Pinellas Urban...
