Wow, that looks like a serious deal.

*Takes inventory of what items I absolutely need in my house* Dammit not enough room. Do I really need a sink, stove, AND refrigerator? Hmmmm...

Oops, fixed the link.

Thanks, Senor Pepe you beat me too it.

 

[Ma23456]

Oh yeah, I'm right there with you. I get my annual bonus in this pay cycle, but don't think my wife would support this level of brewing investment.

Alright let's split 50/50 And go in

...and to think I only live 15 minutes down the road from lansdale...

If I only had a spare 30K sitting around, oh, and a place to store all that wonderful whatnot!

Investor co-op opportunity. A few guys, bottle on weekends, something along the lines of Yazoo Brewing Co.

 

[cino101]

Maybe a dumb question but why do you need so many boil kettles? Most breweries I have seen just have one main one...

 

[cino101]

Ahh maybe that's what bop means... Multiple people come over and brew on premise? Shared facilities?

 

[Bigbeavk]

Yep that's what it is. Our LHBS has six 30gallon kettles and they host classes as well. It's a blast to go and learn to brew and of course sample all the different brews people bring in for class. Wish I could buy that stuff and open up shop myself.

No wonder they went out of business. 20 gallons? 100k? That is ****ing laughable. Sorry to sound callous, but I can believe someone spent so much money without doing at least an hour's worth of google research on starting a brewery. Such a waste.

 

[dedhedjed]

It certainly wasn't a brewery. Brew-on-premises is basically a shop where people can go homebrew on the store's equipment.

 

[SixFoFalcon]

I wonder if this involves (or interests) Keystone Homebrew, which is right nearby in Montgomery Township. I heard a couple years ago, before they moved out of the old shoebox and into there current grand space, that they were considering a brew-on-premises thing. They seem to have the space for it now.

I'm just 5 minutes down the road, and I've got a place to store it all. Just let me use it while you pay it off.

Deal ?

I've got to agree with you there. $100k (on equipment alone) for that set up is just bad business sense. You could replicate that set-up with stainless kettles over natural gas burners for seriously like $10k.

I used to work @ a brew it yourself store in Fort Collins until it went out of business in '99 or '00 (cleverly called Brew-It-Yourself). They had to auction all the equipment off and it sold for pennies on the $. Those systems are amazing. Steam jacket kettles could bring 17 gal to a boil in 2 minutes and the heat exchanger could get boil to 70, filter, and into fermenter in less than a minute. If a HBC could get the cash together I might move there and join their club.
