Thanks! (I do wish I could post on HBT more, but, as you might imagine, I have absolutely no time for homebrewing right now) Also: we give $1 off 64oz growler fills for AHA members. If I'm the one working retail (shaved head, full beard, name of Dan) mention you're from HBT and I'll give it to...

There's plenty more than just CBW on tap at Blue Monk, and you should definitely stop in for dinner. But hey, while you're there you may as well try us, right? Let me know when you'll be in town. That timeframe is pretty boring, brewing-wise, but we might be able to show you around the brewery.

Well, licensing is a big issue so I might need you to be a little more specific, but here's the basic rundown of when stuff happens. - Rent/lease building (yep, you have to be spending money for the entire 1-2 years of licensing) - THEN: Apply for federal license (all owners have to list...

Congrats! If you have any questions, let us know. Of course, being in San Diego I'm sure there are others who have more relevant advice for you.

Thanks for updating the thread! I've been meaning to, but time has been slipping away from me recently. There's just so much to do. If you're there tonight, come say hi! We're all cool people, but I'll be the one in the blue CBW shirt with the overgrown neckbeard.

A therminator came with the brewstand we got from Psychobrew, which I think is all we're planning on right now. We're also going to be saving our chilling water (which will be warm/hot) in a solar tank so we can reuse it in future batches. Thanks for voting, everybody! We've been in second for...

Awesome! We've slipped to second place today, and this injustice will not stand! (In all seriousness, all three options are great and deserve to win. We just are biased towards ourselves because, well, it's us.)

Thanks to everyone, and again to Joe for backing our Kickstarter! One of our owners knows a guy with a .au email address, so I figure we'll be the choice with the widest geographical variety of votes.

Yeah, we've been getting a lot of good press! (we were also in Buffalo Rising). We need your help in another way, too. This one won't cost you anything but a minute of your time: we're eligible for 25 hours of ad work from Crowley Webb if we win their 25 Hour Workday. You can vote once per...

I wish that could be one of the rewards! Kickstarter actually is fairly strict on what you can and can't do. We can't give away beer: so no free keg every time the Sabres win the Stanley Cup. (yes, that was a reward in our initial proposal) We also can't give away discounts, like a buck off...

I'm sorry I've been AWOL. In my defense, opening a brewery is hard work, and my kid wants to see me now and then too. UPDATES: - We have our TTB license - We've submitted our SLA application. - Construction is ongoing, turning the building into a brewery. Our best guess is that...

Yeah, the press has been kind to us brewers. Seeing Todd, Jim and Terry staring out at me is a strange feeling. (and NAH expat Ric was just featured as AHA's Brewer of the Week) Don't you want to hang out with all these celebrities (tongue->cheek)? NAH is always looking for fresh faces...

Yeah, if people would care to write in to their Senators and proclaim their support of the BEER Act, that would be swell. Here's a bit on Fox News about it.

Thanks! We're definitely going to have some exciting things coming up soon while we wait for our TTB application to get processed. Also, people should check out this month's issue of Buffalo Spree. It's a beer issue, with an article on Flying Bison, some homebrewer profiles, an article about...

unfortunately, yes.

Oh, I know. I just want to be very clear as often as possible that we're not pulling any shenanigans (this board is filled with 'well if it's a TIP JAR it's not SELLING' posts, after all...)

We cannot brew in our building. We could probably get away with using the equipment offsite, but that would require moving it all, and also finding somewhere to hook the Psychobrew system into (as it uses natural gas instead of propane, and quite a lot of it). So, essentially, not worth it. To...

That will be awesome, let me tell you. Unfortunately, we were told explicitly by the TTB that once we file for a license we cannot brew at our building. Since we're doing that next week... this is going to stay unsullied by wort for quite some time, sadly.

Oh hey I'm just going to leave this here... 1.5bbl system from Stout Tanks & Kettles. Next Friday our Psychobrew system shows up. Next week we should be submitting our TTB paperwork. Exciting times, my friends.

Yes, this is an option, but one that requires significantly more time and money. If they take the recipe and brew it for you, you don't have to jump through any hoops. But then you also don't get as much control, as you've realized.
