God i miss bottled Everett

 

[bsc]

On the subject of Everett bottles, given the proliferation of case or two-case limit saisons, I'm really hoping Everett bottles get to that point when construction is done. I don't believe they've bottled any non saison/wild beer in a long time now... If time comes when one can get 1-2 cases of Everett bottles, well, that will be a good time.

Another random question, anyone had a b2 Damon recently?

had b2 Damon a month or so ago. Excellent beer.

Don't think we will ever see 2 case limits on non-saisons, pretty sure the limits are high because the foeders are massive

The bottles are "cheap" but you guys are nuts if you don't think Shaun isn't making BANK from
beer nerds.

I think everyone is aware he's running a successful business. That's not a secret.

HF isn't a non-profit??? What the ****! I'm returning all my bottles!

Did they not install gigantic fermenters as well?

the new brewhouse isn't much bigger than the existing

 

[tehzachatak]

the new brewhouse isn't much bigger than the existing

to be fair, that's a different thing. you can do multiple brews into a fermenter much larger than your system just as you can do multiple brews into a foudre much larger than your system.

...but i don't know that there are larger fermenters. just saying it is, of course, possible.

I see. Question was intended genuinely, I couldn't tell the fermenter size from the pictures floating around.

That said, the reasoning in this quote was precisely my reason for asking. With the 30 BBL fermenters currently in place, I understand that Shaun will double batch Edward into a fermenter (perhaps others too, that is the only one I have heard specifically).

If there were in fact bigger fermenters, then with the new 25 or 30 BBL system (? probably more so the Hecto equivalent), he could conceivably produce a large amount of Everett et all wort in a given double brew day.

My understanding was that the brewhouse was not "isn't much bigger," but was, in fact, the same size as the current brewhouse. Not sure, but I think I remember that the current one was 15bbl?

but when someone says "brewhouse" to me, I am not thinking about FVs. so just because the brewhouse is the same size, i haven't heard anything that tells me for sure that there aren't 60BBL FVs coming in. but who knows!

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Edit: Found some potential answers:
Looks like it is indeed the same size, 25HL or rougly 20 BBL

Also, fermenters potentially answered.
"[...]along with an upgrade to 50HL fermenters [...]"

That is all.

 

[yeedog]

When I was up there I asked Phil and I believe he said that brew kettles are the same size but they got larger fermenters. So they will do more double and triple batches and have more than Edward that is always on.

Anyone have any special insight as to when Flora Cuvee and Madness 3 might be coming out? I need my Convivial fix but I also need everything Flora in my life.

Sounds right to me..... Just March 2015 , not 2014

(Original post was from Jan 2014)

 

[JulianB1]

If anyone goes to/is going to HF today, I'm curious what the situation is looking like in terms of the case limit saisons running out any time soon.

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Umm... Looks like Flora was added to the site today. 3/pp $30.

wow

 

[JCastle1]

Well that's fantastic news, great timing for me.

 

[Phin1]

From the looks of the retail page, it will be really easy for someone to spend $$$ this upcoming week.

 

[JulianB1]

So glad I will be there on Wednesday, even if that means no Ann.

Guess I'm making a trip on Wed. Grab a beer at Parker Pie?

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll be there with vonnegut21. TalkBeer lunch meet-up sound cool people?

 

[drummermattie021]

Of course, the weekend I'm flying home. If anyone is interested in Sue+ or some JK fruited sours for a January IP Flora trade (either at HF, south NH, Boston, anywhere in between?), let me know.

 

[MikeG1]

Could this be Flora Cuvee? He took it down from the upcoming bottle releases page.

Also the colaboration De Molen stout is off the table.

Oh yea...dat flora. Thankfully for my bank account I won't be making it up this week.

 

[averagjoe3]

Wednesday round trip could have to happen

 

[vonnegut21]

I'm assuming no since it's just being billed as Flora.

It's back up there but now listed as "many months away" along with "50 Month Old Oud Bruin"

Also Ann:

• Ann (Release will be lottery style, ticketed. Not a shelf released item. Details forthcoming. Largely due in part to unpredictable size/nature of parking and traffic in winter months)...

I like the note on the SARA/TH collab.
