Thanks for the replies everyone.

if you "raise" cash, you don't have debt. this is why I mentioned the business plan. where there would be a practice of putting some cash reserves into an investment each year, with the intent of using it along with the returns after it matures to purchase your company outright from investors.

A bit of a rant, but also looking for advice on where to go from here. I've been brewing for about 6 years now. Probably have about 75 brew days logged. I've only dumped 1 beer that was actually drinkable, but had some fusels that I just couldn't get past. Some beers have been good, some...

I'm a big fan of Riverbend. I bought a sack of their pale malt for $40 at the malt house once. The owners are awesome guys. Pretty cool operation they have going.

It sounds to me like they really had no other option. The business insider article hints that investors who had helped start the business in 99/00 were probably tired of getting meager returns each year and thought the company had grown big enough to be bought out of their shares. I guess you...

Except, this is nothing like a joint venture. Decent biz insider article on the sale and why it was done. Sounds like maybe the original investors started clamoring for a hefty buyout...

I just think its funny that a craft brewer who was so adamant about not selling any of their company has now sold half of it. Not sure how a 50/50 split of the company works.

so after last night, if we lose to Mexico, is jurgen gone?

Whats your process for getting low ph out of these dry sour blends? I meant that as far as using lacto goes, I'm not sure the dry blend works near as well as souring the mash or in the kettle. Obviously pedio/brett is a completely different animal, and I wasn't meaning to compare to that method.

My sour brown is just about ready. It has been bottled for 9 days. I used the American sour blend, fermented at 70 for 2 weeks, then ramped up the temps to 84 for a week. I was only able to get the ph to 3.9. Tasted the hydro tube sample and while you could definitely detect a sour note, it...

"here is xyz project and about 10% of the information you need to effectively get started on the project, if you have a question, just call my cell that I never answer or email me and i'll be sure to respond in about 3 weeks."

If he really wanted him, Levy should have made a big bid early in the summer. Leaving it late to make 3-4 bids didn't really help things, regardless of WBA's position.

Couple of good ways we used to mess with people in the office... Our phone system had a way of calling someone within the office, but right before it started ringing, you could put the call on hold, conference in another line, join the 2 calls, and hang up. Both lines would be left ringing...

Just the fact that there are over 100 pages of browbeating over the use of a secondary fermenter is legendary enough for me.

We do have a nightly server backup. The problem is not being able to recover the changes she made to the file between the back up and the screw up. My point is....I am a project manager. We have an IT dept for a reason. Everyone knows the IT department handles file recovery. As for the...

I would personally stay as far away from the local building inspector as possible.

Had a typical conversation with my project assistant today: PA: I made a mistake on a spreadsheet and accidently erased a bunch of information. me: oh that sucks PA: yeah so its impossible to search for those numbers since they aren't there anymore. me: yeah that is a pain in the butt...

If it comes to neighbor war, you should at least start a blog about it. maybe put something new in the yard every day or something.

haiku?

I think I would probably just have put it in my back yard just for the peace of mind in knowing they aren't playing right near the road.
