Out of context, but I like Boon MP Kriek. Very juicy black cherry nectar with some subtle OG funks. Please clone that. Ill wait for at least six more months.
Thanks!

THATS WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS











Edit: Madeira is horrible. Nothing to see here folks. Old stuff is expensive and not worth it.

You're too late

I honeymooned in Madeira. All 'bout dat action, boss. Will buy as many Madeira-aged beers as you'll sell me as gifts to the wife.

Wat?! Im insanely jealous. That trip is added to the bucketlist.
Probably wont be doing too many madeira cross projects sadly. I can get rainwater barrels but im not sure i want them. Ive heard horror stories about onsite coopers and how rough the barrels are when they finally leave. Open to it but extremely skeptical.

edit, and just to keep everyone from talking about and buying one of the few alcohols I truly appreciate...

It's the greatest. Like Hawaii with Portuguese architecture and all the Madeira you can handle (usually for like 3 euro for a glass of 5-year anything). It's not too hard to get to, especially from the east coast. I bet there's a Boston to Lisbon direct, and then it's an easy flight from there. Obviously you're too busy to travel at the moment, but I can't recommend it highly enough!

 

[sleepydave1]

Glass is in, interior doors are up, and part of our glycol work has begun!

 

[Auror]

Dave, what size brewhouse you working with to start?

 

[sleepydave1]

Just a little guy, 15bbl.

 

[Auror]

Just a little guy, 15bbl.

That's a fine size for a new brewery. You doing draft and growlers only to start?

 

[sleepydave1]

Yeah, I spent a little more than I probably should have on hop contracts, so we are probably going to be pushing mostly draft and growlers till we can open some packaging options for certain styles.

 

[sleepydave1]

And in re: to teh small event I hinted at earlier...
https://www.facebook.com/david.sakolsky/posts/10203847992705064

The brewhouse is delayed again (seriously, I will pay scabs out of pocket at this point.), so sadly that will not be installed by the time this event happens. But we do have cellar tanks up and will be providing a small surprise.

Positive news everyone!
We are officially approved by the Feds, now to finish up state!
Also going to try to make a bunch of cupcakes and send them to the dockworkers and ceos, both saying "sorry." Maybe we can end this strike and get a brewhouse.

Tell me about it. They need to get to work! I need my parts.

 

[sleepydave1]

Im out of town this week. But just an update, our branding is locked and ill be whoring out to social media everywhere asap!

Strike is seemingly over and hopefully they will find our brewhouse any day now.

Chemical and first ingredient orders are coming up quickly.

Ill have another test batch of apa for those interested in a few weeks.

Keg washer arrives any day.

Cold room is in, just in pieces. So that needs to be assembled asap.

Many many things to do. But hopefully, if we make good product (which is totally the plan, mind you), we'll see you guys soon!

 

[sleepydave1]

Im antsy. So www.twitter.com/deciduousbeer (@deciduousbeer) and www.instagram.com/deciduousbeer (@deciduousbeer) is now live! Ill be fine tuning little details over the weekend but those are now up!
Facebook is coming as soon as i can touch a desktop because Im also finnicky and stubborn.

Instagram? You got a follow brochacho!

 

[JBP]

Logo looks great!

 

[sleepydave1]

Thanks! Took us a while to get one we all agreed to, but i like where we landed. Lots of duality from tree to leaf to bare branch to canopy covered. Nice and understated. Let the beer do the pitching

Maybe you should update your avatar and get rid of the BL equipment picture.

 

[sleepydave1]

Good call! Done and done.

[sleepydave1]

Good news first, even if it is mostly swag related. Glassware is nearly finalized (tasters, long stem wines, short stem wines), growlers are going to the printers over the next two weeks, tshirts are almost done, and because cart before the horse; the stovetop APA test is hitting the keg Sundayish. Should be ready for tasting by middle of this coming week.
Rinai is getting put in asap, we are attempting to get the cold room built this weekend, we are recovering from some water damage (really Dave, -25F to 54F in a couple days with 8ft snow drifts, what the **** did you expect?), and trying to just get everything lined up so the bad news doesnt hurt us any more than it already is going to.

And now for the bad news...
Strike has been over but the delays keep coming. Another brewhouse delay today. Hoping we see it by mid April.
That boat also has most of our glycol, our hlt, our clt, and more.

 

[sleepydave1]

I hope you guys clapped damnit.
Got some photos of our HLT and CLT today, which almost reads like a ransom note in many ways.

edit, don't get too excited guys, the other photos show a date of 2/2/15.

Been a whole week since sleepydave has updated us, still edging over here

 

[sleepydave1]

Haha, not too much going on lately except me trying to stay sane (why i laugh?). What has changed:
-as of right now, brewhouse should hit nebraska for finish work by the 26th. So maybe landing here mid april-ish if we are lucky?
-Glassware has been ordered, but i had to opt for laser engraving for one part that i wanted to have colored (itll make more sense soon)
-my hwod is installed as of today, gas fireplace is being framed up
-i need to build the cold room still, so if anyone has time and hands to spare...
-working on signage and growler art
-as of right now the plan is we will have 750ml branded swingtops ONLY in the beginning, we will rebrand any amber swingtop (750ml, 1L (prorated fills) and 2L) with our label for a undetermined sub $2 charge.
-due to the extra delays, packaging is on a small hold and in the beginning i am really going to be pushing draft and growler as its less overhead for us.
-had a fantastic weekend hanging with a certain, extremely talented brewer but didnt exactly accomplish much else haha
-the new apa test batch is in the keg and just about ready to sample. (Stovetop job)
-and so many other little things i am sure im forgetting at the moment as i sit in the car typing this, haha.

Ill snap some new shots once the cold room is up. Nothing is photogenic like a silver box ;P

Perhaps that talented brewer was I guy I might be aware of................................

 

[sleepydave1]

I think they are for us (photo credit: Matt Johns):

But this got a little reaction out of me... Both positive (yay progress) and negative (is that hinge going to cause the top tun manway to bang on that recirc arm?)

Regardless, I should be way more excited about this, but what's the old saying, 18 times bitten twice shy?

[sleepydave1]

More hoses, sprayers, and chemical ordered. Barrel racks en route along with a bunch of other little things (flow control faucets, sankey couplers, etc)
And we are getting our potential delivery vehicle looked over! Cannot express enough gratitude for that donation.

And starting to clean up and prep for the brewhouse delivery, fingers crossed, breath held, all that good stuff!

Progress, progress, progress!
And the test apa didn't suck imo (but needs a little more work), so that's a plus

 

[Os]

yeahhhh buddy!
