I like that one too, I already started work on the logo, I hope everyone is ok with the hillbilly theme. Sorry I just kinda picked one, one that I thought was good, but also went with the spirits of this thread, and because I just had to pick one.

The website is looking up, have a nice color theme, some graphics and content.

I am looking for photos, any photo in this thread, I'm going to consider fair game unless otherwise stated. If anyone has any photos, I really need them. Photos of your beer, brewing equipment, bottling setup, sacks of grain, screenshots and really anything you can think of.

I still haven't researched the AHA thing, got tied up with the website but I will soon.

we can always take photos... I'll take a couple tomorrow. Did you see my post about "hillbilly Homebrewers" without the word Association? That word just sounds too big and technical to me... Get ready...we're getting a storm in about an hour...

Thanks for the heads up and no I didn't notice it. BUT, while designing the logos I kinda figured that out. It's sorta fluff, but we do kinda need the word Arkansas in there I think. Arkansas Hillbilly Homebrewers is what I feel pretty comfortable with.

Hoping for dry weather tomorrow for my bike ride.

Looking forward to those photos. Pictures of beer pours would be great too.

Anyone have a propane burner they're looking to get rid of?

I'm building one electric kettle, but will still use my smaller kettle and burner... I like brewing outside. Mine is all stainless and high BTU but was only $35 at Academy Sports.

 

[estricklin]

I may have an extra stand but the burner had cracked. I do have some other stuff to give away, I have a 5 gallon round cooler mash tun with a homemade aluminum false bottom if your interested. I'm never going to use it again.

Yes Sir, 1976 Cheyenne 4x4, Auto w/factory air... It's been my Baby since 2007. I've got $21,000 in it but I plan on selling it soon. Got my eye on a Jeep Scrambler to make a project out of...

It's in the Brewing Rigs thread.... I moved up from 10 gallon kettles and a turkey fryer last Christmas but I haven't been home long enough to get it all plumbed. I've got a box full of valves, TC fittings and several other miscellaneous bells and whistles. I've yet to brew on it! I plan on the maiden brew in December when I get home on a 30 day break!

I posted on your other thread that you are welcome to come over today. I'm brewing and can answer just about any question you have about any part of brewing. I agree with you about the automated part... I like making beer 'manually'...

I'm out of town until mid Oct. I'll hit you guys up when I get back in town!


I can stand up a fb group if you guys would like? Might be easier to get a meet up or something going that way.

Eric is a Facebooker... I am not. A small group of us brewing on my farm is as social as I get...

Ha!!!!! Yes..... the personalized beer mugs.... My daughter gave me mine for Christmas last year.... My son in law built the single tier brew stand... He's such a good son-in-law.... He brought me a liter of shine the first time she brought him home to meet me..LOL.....

Chevy had to be on the front page, even the wife said so! I checked with AHA, and all we need to do is fill out a simple form, that costs nothing to be registered. Here are a couple screen shots so far, obviously lots of work left to do, today I mostly wrote some code to make the website more accessible to mobile devices and different monitor sizes.

I'm in need of a photos of some hops, hops growing would be preferable, but a hand full of whole hops would work too.

 

[BowAholic]

cool

 

[woo_pig]

I don't live in Arkansas anymore. Born and raised there. I live in VA now.

 

[BowAholic]

got all of my 'chores' finished and decided to use some leftover grains and hops... ended up making a Rye IPA that I think may turn out nice. OG was 1.068, so it should be just where I like my IPAs... hopped with Chinook, Centennial, and cascade...

LOL... Looks Good Eric! Maybe you could photo shop a "For Sale" sign on the window of the Chevy.... LOL..... Just Kidding!!!! Let me know if you need anything....

I got a lot further on the website. I am going to buy the domain tomorrow. It will most likely be www.arkansashillybillyhomebrew.com but we'll see. Also going to fill out the AHA form to register us. Just wanted to wait until I had a domain for sure.

I am going to build a database for recipes, for now, just so we'll have some content I'm going to enter them manually until I have time to write all the code. I need 3-4 good recipes, that we have brewed, (preferably at least 2-3 times) and if you have a picture of that recipe with a pour or during the brew day that would be great too.

I will probably enter one of my personal recipes, probably my Shiner Ruby Redbird clone. Bob, I'd like to post your Cathy beer recipe. So 2-3 more, if anyone has them would be helpful.

Is there anyone that can make a meeting next month?

 

[BowAholic]

I use to have websites...the farm and my FFA chapter...never bought a domain name before... what does something like that cost? You use to be able to host your website on your ISP for free... guess not any more...? I have Cathy's beer recipe down pat, and my Centennial IPA... brewed both many many times... We'll see how my Rye IPA turns out....
