Those pesky teenagers will always be out of control.
Which has nothing to do with this bill.

So is it fair to say the other bill regarding brewery sales has a clearer path?

So is it fair to say the other bill regarding brewery sales has a clearer path?

From what I understand yes. But it is still going to conference to more clearly detail the bill. SO then it will have to be voted on again by both the senate and the house (assuming changes are made at conference) before going to the Governor to sign...at least from what I understand.

Everybody does seem to be more focused on the single strength - cold beer bill rather than the brewery bill. TO be honest, I am more pumped about the brewery bill and what it could mean for local Breweries and Brewpubs.

I think they are trying to write legislation for a separate brewpub bill next year. I'm super excited to see how that's going to come out

OKC Craft Beer Fest here I come! It was pretty awesome last year and I'm pumped to see more of the new local breweries out there!

In doors was a little difficult for me, but we had a good time.
I liked Choc's sour/wild side project. Born Free.

 

[brewr]

Born Free is a 4% side project. SB 383 and SB424 have both been sent back to committee. Meaning both are tabled for this year. Hopefully we'll get to vote on them next presidential election.

Well Hello fellas. Tulsa brewer here. Good to know ya

Does anyone on this thread do group grain buys?

 

[jhaws14]

I would be in for a grain buy

 

[40watt]

I used to participate in a DFW. Grain buy. That fizzled out.
Would love to find another.

 

[Frostbrewer]

I am interested in a grain buy. What is the typical discount?

 

[40watt]

The last one I was involved in, you could get a 50lb bag between $25 and $35 depending on what kind of grain.
They stopped dealing with home brewers due to pressure from the shops they sell to.

 

[jhaws14]

Maybe we could set one up with high gravity or learn to brew. We used to do them with the home brew store in Vegas every time they ordered grain. They put a requirement that they had to sell like 10 bags for it to be a worth while investment for them. And that's easy when guys like me order 3 or 4 bags at a time.

 

[matthew_reagor]

Me too. What area of ok are you in?

 

[jhaws14]

I'm in Stillwater

 

[Setesh]

I would also be interested, I'm in OKC.

 

[jhaws14]

If your interested in going in on a group buy let me know I will start working with the stores to figure out what we can do and when.

 

[40watt]

I am in southern ok.
Okc would be a good compromise.
Tulsa is more than 3 hours drive for me.

 

[loudrail]

I would be interested as well

 

[Frostbrewer]

I'm in

 

[jhaws14]

The location just depends on what store is willing to help out. I have a truck an can bring the grains down to a meeting point if you want

 

[matthew_reagor]

I really would like to get a bunch of 55# bag at around $30-35. I'd want between 5-10 depending on the price.

 

[40watt]

I'm sure prices have gone up, and would be more from a homebrew store than a wholesaler.
Still should be worth doing.

 

[wtchdr]

Im in for few bags anywhere around Tulsa.

 

[zeptrey]

I guess we have a new brewery coming to Automobile Alley in OKC. Twisted Spike brewing I believe.

Muskogee.... Anyone?

 

[wtchdr]

I'm Muskogee.

Hello;
I am new to brewing, in fact all that I have tried to brew yet is a gallon of cider, and it was as strong as a mule and pretty sour,not sweet at all. But when I learn to make good tasting cider I will start brewing beer

[mtnman68]

I don't know if I would be welcome or not. All I brew is cider. I live in Norman.
