Philly area Homebrewers

[tennesseean_87]

I have been asked to brew a crap-ton of beer for a wedding in May. I'm honored that he thinks my brew is that good, but it'd help my friend out if he could get some de-labelled or other bottles so he doesn't have to shell out $200 for 14 cases at a HBS just for this one event. If anyone have extras, is moving to kegging or anything else, shoot me a PM. One that de-label easily (Sam Adams, SN, etc.) are preferred if labels are still on. Thanks!

Wow, more than underwhelmed with Cyber Monday. Was hopping to pick up 2-3 recipes, carboy, and more. Didn't order anything.

The only thing I picked up were the 3 piece valves from aih for 9.99. Nothing else struck my fancy

hmmm, I've been scolded by my MIL for not providing a christmas list. Honestly, I'm a grown man, I have all the hb gear I need (unless she wants to fund an actual brewery, I'm not going larger than 10 gal anytime soon), and am able to go get what I need during the year. Hopefully I don't get more gift cards to Home Depot. She didn't like the "I'm just happy to hang out with everyone" response...

Keystone did 20% off when you order/buy 2 or more ingredients kits... Make sure to Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for the best deals. We post weekly sales on both all the time...

The only HB gear on my list this year was a 3bbl bright tank. Think it was out of the price range for most of my family. But I could really use one right about now...

I found a few different sales yesterday, Niko Brew and Yakima Valley had good hop sales. I bought 6.5 lbs of hops for $75 shipped from Yakima, Mosaic, Nelson, Strisslepalt, Centennial, Ahtanum, Nugget.

I got some hops. You can always ask for $$ for ingredients! I already got a STC-1000 from my wife.

I've been out of malt for about 2 months now. Have hops in spades though...

 

[WissaBrewGuy]

I hit up Philly Homebrew outlet and took advantage of some 20% off deals on hops, grain, and cornys. Other than that nada.

 

[milldoggy]

Got my valves from aih. Make sure you open them up and clean out the wd40, they are packed full.

Im not out but getting close. John had said he might do another buy in January but not sure if thats still happening.

 

[milldoggy]

I am in for a group buy. I am running low too

 

[WissaBrewGuy]

I would be up for a group buy as well

Hey guys. Just wanted to introduce myself. Seems like the wife and I are gonna be living outside of Philly for a while. Just moved from west Chester to perkiomenville. Been on this side of the state for about 5 years now.
I've. Been brewing for about 6 years now and I am making the transition from extract to all grain this month.

Welcome. There is a homebrew club(stoney creek) that meets at abc in Collegeville if you are interested.

 

[Misfit]

That is a tough one for me. I've been to abc three times. Each time it has been a horrid experience and have refused to support them ever since.

There is also a club in pottstown, meets at sly fox

 

[Misfit]

Now sly fox I can get down with

 

[WissaBrewGuy]

Yeah I think they are the Bruclear Homebrew club: http://www.bruclear.com/

Are you talking about BYOB on Darby? What are the details? John at BYOB was supposed to add me to his mailing list but he never did.

Haha same thing happened to me!

 

[WissaBrewGuy]

That is a good homebrew store. I pretty much get all my recipes from John. He is a great "old-school" Papazian style brewer that is always really relaxed and really promotes simplicity.

 

[Gitmoe]

I love seeing different guys at Keystone help customers. We have super science guys with PhDs and super relaxed artsy hipsters (that's me). Getting brewing advice is all about who you ask. I love the simple approach. Don't over think things. Making brewing complicated before the brewer is ready can quickly cause them to lose interest by being overwhelmed. I can throw all the science stuff at people if they want it, but 95% of customers aren't really looking for it and aren't ready for it... I've never been to BYOB but I'd love to stop by. Heard nothing but good things.

 

[ivegot2legs]

I go to both stores, and both are pretty hard to beat. John at BYOB helped me get started and was great and just getting folks to keep it simple and make a batch. I still love going there, but go to keystone for other stuff, like large grains orders and ciders.

Anyone ever goto the home brew store in the Quaker town farmers market? It's a fairly small store and cater more to extract than anything it seems. That normally is my goto place surprisingly

Dan moved his shop out of the Qmart but not far away. He's a good dude. Met him once by chance at Round Guys.


Snow Day! Everybody stay safe. I'll be working at Keystone so if you're feeling courageous stop by and bring us some homebrew! We'll "test" it for you... no, seriously... do it!

 

[Misfit]

When did he move out of qmart. I've been out of the country for a few months but now I'm back. I would bring you some homebrew but the roads are awful and I have a feeling keystone is a good drive away from here
