[buckeyebrewer]

I have...they are chillin in my fridge....jealous?
80 Bottles of Pliny

 

[jbrookeiv]

Dude, how? I would LOVE to trade for a few bottles.

 

[HexKrak]

Damn you.

That's all.

 

[BendBrewer]

Drink them quickly. I normally just get Growlers.

 

[buckeyebrewer]

All you have to do is fly to California. Take a tour of the brewery. Get bombed on Pliny the Younger all day. Buy 5 cases of Pliny the Elder. Convince nice man at local box and ship store to Fed Ex them home in wine crates. It cost a crap load of money....but I think I'm set for a while.

 

[buckeyebrewer]

After shipping costs it was a little over 10 bucks a bottle.

Yeah, you don't want to know what a Growler costs me.

 

[buckeyebrewer]

I didn't pay for the whole thing. I went in with a couple friends. SWMBO would kill me if I spent 800 bucks on beer....actually she may still kill me....oh well at least I will be drunk on Pliny when the gun goes off

 

[pablo1337]

I would love to take one off of your hands if you are willing.

Please...

Love how the top shelf is curving in from the weight LOL.


Rev.

 

[IrregularPulse]

oh my god.

 

[Acoma]

I've never seen one bottle Still trying to get my hands on one out here.

 

[buckeyebrewer]

I know this sounds awful....but I'm not sharing. Only a third of these are mine. It was a huge PITA to get them back home. I had to take a pic with the fridge full.

 

[RIT_Warrior]

Yeah I'm jelly. I can't even get 1 bottle of Pliny here in CT.

Rev.

Yeah, he might want to brace that shelf. A collapse could be very costly.

It's nice to have a connection in SF. If it makes anyone feel better who can't get it: Pliny is good, but it's not like Jesus' tears or anything.

Nice collection there.

You are wrong, if they are $10 a bottle final cost, they are better than Jesus' tears. Those are 8.99 at costco

I have sampled one bottle so far. I tried it up against the batch we made last month. I still have a few gallons left. I bought The Pliny Packs from Farmhouse Brewing. Side by side they are really close. The real Pliny is just a little hoppier and a tad sweeter than ours...I think because we didn't hop our mash and we missed our FG by a couple points but I am surprised at how close they are though....my buddy and I brewed a 10 gallon batch about 6 weeks ago. I had never had the real deal until last week and hadn't tried them side by side until last night. So next time I'm gonna hop the mash and up the grain bill and see where that gets me.

Most of us can buy it easily online (unless your State hates you). So there is no reason to go without if you are willing to pay for shipping.

 

[bovineblitz]

Omg, that's so ridiculous.

I can't even get one bottle, lol.

 

[terrapinj]

drink em fast

they make great bottles for homebrew as well, perfect size between 12oz and 22oz

PtE hasn't been mashed hopped in years. Per Vinnie the recipe is a moving target but if you take any of the recipes he has given out over the years (the most recent did not have any mash hopping) everything before 45 minutes they have been doing with hop extract for a few years. Northern Brewer carries a product called Hop Shot which is similar to if not identical to the extract RR uses.

I but it from South Bay Drugs in San Diego.

 

[TheSeether]

My local craft stores seem to be unable to get this stuff so the picture doesn't really strike me as I've never had it. I will be in San Diego in April, though and I think I need to make an effort to seek this one out based on the rave reviews HBT gives it.

 

[BendBrewer]

Somehow my LHBS gets it by the keg. Drop by and fill up your bottles.

 

[SwampassJ]

You just one upped the entire forum in the "SWMBO thinks we're strange" department.

 

[Vaughn]

Someone is ripping you off at $10 a bottle with shipping. I get them for $4.50 lol

 

[bovineblitz]

Judging by this auction, you could just buy more than you actually want and subsidize the cost via ebay
