Im going to buy my own machine. I have someone to invest with me.

What kind of beer is it? What is your brewery called? Can we see a sample of the label so we know what to look for on the shelves?

Did you know that you can reuse your old budweiser cans? REALLY! all you have to do is lift up the mouth so it snaps back into place after you fill it with your own beer! just make sure you sanitize first or else you could get an infection

Aw...those first batch fantasies.....My beer is the sh!ts and joe down the block is going to shill for me.

I guess he has a few mill he's willing to piss away eh?

Hopefully he can follow this from Probrewer.com

I'm in the due dillegence stage for startup and have some questions about the TTB's Brewer's Bond and sureties in general. Many more questions will come as I'm finding the regulatory environment a bit overwhelming.

As I understand it, the brewer's bond covers only excise tax. Is this statement correct? At 10%, or the minimum coverage of $1000 for brewers with less than $10,000 per annum federal excise tax, is a surety required or can the brewer just post a $1000 bond? If the brewer posts the $1000 himself, is this what is being referred to as a "collateral bond"?

With respect to the state bond, I understand that all states are very different but read that surety bond providers generally cost 0.5 to 2% of the contract amount, which seems awful small to me. For microbreweries, I saw examples ranging from $3000 to $30,000. Could someone provide me with a little info on this or point me in the right direction?

It's greek to me.

But I think before you can even fill your first can the label has to be approved, and before you get to that stage you have to be approved, and in order to do that you have to have submittied this...to even be considered for a commercial liscense.

WHAT YOU MUST DO:

First, you should become familiar with TTB regulations related to beer in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 27 Part 25.

The following forms must be properly completed and submitted to TTB:

* TTB F 5130.10, Brewer’s Notice
* TTB F 5130.22, Brewer’s Bond, or TTB F 5130.25, Brewer’s Collateral Bond, whichever is applicable (TWO ORIGINALS, NO PHOTOCOPIES)
* TTB F 5000.9, Personnel Questionnaire, for each officer, director, and stockholders of more than 10 percent, member and partner (SINGLE COPY)
* TTB F 5000.29, Environmental Information
* TTB F 5000.30, Supplemental Information on Water Quality Considerations
* Signing authority, if applicable

In addition, you must file a:

* Diagram of the brewery premises
* Description of the brewery premises
* Legal Description of the Brewery – based on the lot, such as in your county records
* Statement describing the security at the brewery

And I don't think "Momma's Basement" is a good enough description of the brewery premises.

Best of luck to you....

I also read on the internet that simcoe hops taste like grapefruit.

My morbid curiosity has got me dying to follow this canning project.

Very nice link Revvy. My head hurts though. Thanks a lot

I'm getting heart palpations just reading through what is required just to get your beer label approved, before you could even can/bottle.

http://www.ttb.gov/beer/labeling.shtml

Remember a couple years ago a brewery had a beer pulled back and was fined for putting the beer on the market before the label had been totally approved. It was posted on here/

Doesn't simcoe lead to hot side aeration and autolysis? Or is that only if you use a glass carboy? Or dry yeast?

oxidation but only during the sparge.

OMG isn't this one of the women in the commercial? The one that says "I've lost track of how many times I've had it in the can."

She is the total beer ****....I think I'm in love.

That's enough. You're the one who was asking for advice. There are laws regarding a brewery license, and it involves more than buying a canning machine. You have some links to get you started.

Namecalling is never allowed. You're done here.
