What kind of pump do you have on it? Fly or batch sparge?

I have a chugger pump and I batch sparge. I get 70-75% efficiency. I've thought about fly sparge but I'm happy doing what I'm doing.

 

[royal1911]

That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Gonna need casters on mine though

Have you started making your brew stand yet? Im thinking about selling my whole setup.

 

[hoppheadIPA]

Not yet, but I'd be interested. Don't need kettles though....what all would be included?

 

[ronjonacron]

He just listed everything on Craigslist. He's including EVERYTHING. Just search "home brew" in the o/w cl

 

[royal1911]

Yes, I've listed everything I have. Sold the kegerator already. Kegs are gone on Friday (hopefully). I want to sell the whole brew system together.

I'm raising funds for a down payment on a new house. I plan on going electric BIAB on my next setup. Can't wait to start building it!

I may sell without the keggles. I have a buddy that may buy those from me. Let me know if your interested and I'll come up with a price. I listed it on Craigslist for $700.

Didnt you have two fermentation fridges?

I had a kegerator and a stand up freezer for fermenting. In keeping the freezer for food lol.

Let me know if your still interested. I'm piecing everything out now. Someone is buying the keggles so I will sell the burners and stand separately.

 

[hoppheadIPA]

how much for the Edelmetal or the SQ14? Also, how much for the grain mill?

I've been stumbling around on here and found this thread. I'm moving down to the area in a few months - thinking Navarre probably. I'll be honest I didn't make it through all 20 pages but sounds like there are a few local hb stores? I can't express enough how awesome that is. I live in NC and drive over an hour to the closest store. Having something local would be awesome!

Anyway...be cool to meet up with some of you guys and have a beer.

Cheers!

Depending on where you end up living, it could still be an hour drive for you. 98 is pretty bad during the week, and will get worse for the summer. I have coworkers who live in HBTS and it takes them 30+ minutes on a good day. And that is only 10 miles away. If there's a wreck, you can pretty much write off getting anywhere quickly.

I live up in Crestview, and the ride is a steady 45 minutes each day. An hour from Gary's and about 40 from Hop Heads. Gary's is better imo and I'll gladly make the drive to get to his shop.

Look forward to having you here.

I have a facebook page that I made for North Okaloosa County, if you're interested in joining it. I plan to do a group brew day at least ever couple months. I'd love to see some of you join up!

Has anyone met for a tasting, or BS session?

I'm off the grid and don't have Facebook. Should just post to this page if you do meet.

I've posted to the facebook page and reddit numerous times. Crickets.

Brewers in this area (Niceville/crestview especially) seem to keep to themselves. Shoot, even the Brewers I work with/near don't get together or sample each other's beers. It's complete opposite of where I lived last.

 

[ronjonacron]

Man, where are these fb pages and what is the subreddit?

 

[sudndeth]

I guess they have a few chapters. One in crestview.

There's another club, but I can't remember the name.

 

[sudndeth]

You need Facebook to view some of the club pages.

They always seemed like an ad for Hop Heads. And they post so sporadically.

BOO is myself and another guy. My neighbor joins in occasionally. And I've tried getting with the other two guys who post on the North Okaloosa Brewers Club FB page. No progress, though they haven't posted anything since April.

I get that it's hot, but damn, people do have air conditioning to take a break from the boil.

 

[sudndeth]

We should meet up soon. Tucker Dukes would be a cool place and central if you work at Eglin. They're starting to serve craft beer. We could bring some of ours to sample. Unfortunately, I only have done average to slightly above average to share right now. Haha.

I work at Hurlburt. I did enjoy Tucker Dukes at the Destin Beer Fest though.

 

[suprchunk]

I'll have a few bottling up soon. Well, kegging. But I have a beergun I've been wanting to use!

 

[suprchunk]

I've also tried contacting manderson81 here, on reddit, and on FB. He seems to only have joined up here to try and recruit. And he has since joined forces with Hop Heads, I mean Okaloosa Brew Club (OBC). They might as well be called Hop Heads the way they promote them. Him and one other guy seemed interested in joining up, until OBC got to them. They do let you brew on their equipment with their ingredients for free though, you just don't get to take any beer away from the mother ship. If you like working for free it sounds like a great time.

 

[sudndeth]

I go to hop heads for items occasionally. Owners seen nice. It's true that a club who doesn't respond to emails, or post has a lot of free stickers, and business cards at hop heads. Thought it was odd. Not sure about the equipment. I thought they loaned it out.

Let me know if you guys want to meet up. I have a tripel in the works now. Won't bottle for a few weeks. I have 2 other tripels and a Vienna on tap to drink. Vienna didn't finish as low as I wanted so it's sweet.

 

[suprchunk]

Where are you at? I'm obviously in Crestview.

I have a bunch of stuff fermenting now. A lot of sours. But I do have a quad that will be ready in a couple weeks to keg/bottle. If I remember how to bottle I will do that so they can age. Getting ready to brew some more this weekend.

Also trying to get some funds so I can start a homebrew store with an actual location. Otherwise I'll be doing online sales.

I know it's spammy, but I've seen worse on here from people who just join to promote: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/558834258/crestbrew-homebrew-supply

 

[sudndeth]

I'm in Niceville. I've been working on my tripels, but brewing session beers too.

I'll be brewing next weekend, the 25th. Well, I'll be brewing today as well, but it's really short notice. Labor Day weekend I'll be brewing again. Usually every week or two I brew. Would like to try some of your stuff.

 

[royal1911]

I've taken a long break from brewing since I sold all my equipment earlier this year. I'm thinking about getting back into it soon but starting with extract brewing to keep things simple.
