Philly area Homebrewers

[Razzlebrew]

Does anyone need some extra bottles? I've got about 2 cases delabeled in Jenkintown.

Hi,
Yes I will gladly take them if still available. New brewer from Lansdale. How much? Thanks

Does anyone know when Tired Hands' new place is supposed to open? And are they planning on distributing at all when they do?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

I don't know the answer to either. I think they've been rather tight lipped on it so far but would be nice to know.

 

[wobrien]

Yeah, they post pics to social media every once in a while, but I've never seen any info. I would love to be able to buy their beer at my bottle shop rather than drive to the brewery...

I'm going to bike over to TH this weekend from Center City to enjoy a few beers. I'll see if I can chat up Magic Man to find out when they plan on opening and about distributing.

I was there Friday but didn't get a chance to ask anyone bc they were packed. But the owner of Capone's in east norriton told me that they will be distributing. Kegs only at first but then they'll be canning as well.

Wine, Barley & Hops in Feasterville was kind enough to offer up a $15 gift certificate for Hops Bops. From the looks of their website they don't do mail order and with shipping it likely wouldn't be worth it anyway. Since I don't think I'll ever make the hour drive down there, I'll put the certificate up here (free), for the first person who can use it.

What is Hops Bops? I thought it was a homebrew competition?

Yep. The certificate was part of one of the award packages.

Was there yesterday, and bought grains for a brew this weekend, the owner Paul is an awesome guy. They have the best cornie price around, like $46. I sure could use that certificate, if you want to DM, me I will send my info, or maybe just give me the info and the numbers, Paul might let it slide with that, without you having to mail, either way!

I sure could use that certificate . . .

PM sent. Happy brewing!

Was anybody planning on going to the craft festival at the Navy Yard on the 7th of March? Just bought my VIP tickets and really looking forward to going.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Unfortunately have too many plans that weekend - should be a drunken blast though. Have fun!

regarding when the new tired hands will be opening, check out their instagram. They have been posting a lot of pics of the new brewery progress.

I moved into the Philly area (originally from S. Jersey, so not far) a little oevr a year ago and I'm finally looking to get back into brewing. I used to do AG and had a temp controller ferm fridge along with a single corny, so nothing crazy but a little more involved than extract.

I'm out near Jenkintown and looking for an active club that isn't too far away. Hoping to meet some awesome people and get my rig back into action

Anyone near Quakertown area check out the taplist for today at Spinnerstown Hotel for LVBW.

Not sure what you consider too far, but Philadelphia Homebrew club meets at Philly Homebrew Outlet in Fishtown. That's about a 30 minute drive for you. I'm not a member, just aware because Philly Homebrew Outlet is my LHBS. They meet on the third Friday of the month at 7:30pm.

If anyone in the Philly area is interested in scaling up to a 10 gallon MoreBeer tippy dump system, I'm selling mine.

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/for/4903899106.html

The system uses a HERMS coil, pump and two ranco controllers to automatically regulate the mash temperature. Once you set it, you can go about doing other chores while the mash maintains its own temp. Includes all hosing, fittings, the sparge ring, false bottom, etc. I'll even throw in my mash paddle and a hop spider. Kettles are 15 gal.

Would like to see it go to a good home.

There are a few brewers in Jenkintown, including me. I've met with some before. Shoot me a PM if you ever want to swap bottles or anything.

Philly Homebrew Outlet announced their bi-annual bulk grain buy. They have some pretty amazing prices. Only caveat as of this most recent buy, you need to join the Philly Homebrew Club for $45 for the year. Still a great deal if you buy 4 bags over the two buys. Plus, you get to attend the meetings and other events.

Rumor is 900 cases coming to Philly on a yearly basis with contract with Kimmich. A rumor only, not confirmef

 

[wobrien]

Someone else just told me that. Does the rumor say whether it will be only for in bar consumption or take out/distro?

That's the million dollar question man. I can't wait to find out. My guess is it would totally depend on the distributor. My gut is telling me limited distro to key accounts.

 

[dfess1]

Man, if I didn't have a hockey game at 7pm tonight, I'd be brewing for the first time since late Oct.
