Staten Island Homebrewers Thread

I'd have to cut out the floor of my kitchen to fit it in my beer room.

Then it would be time to rent out a place and start an S.I. brewery

One brewery, 10 brewers. That would be wild.

 

[thedude00]

That would be crazy. I can bet their would be no end of crazy ideas for new beers

Kirk, Ed was always talking about starting some kind of brewing co-op. I highly doubt that's a legal concept, but he used to talk about it a lot.

 

[CaptKiRkLeS]

Illegal? I don't see how it would be illegal but I could see it being difficult for paperwork. It's an interesting concept though that would be fun to look into.

The best part of ordering from Fresh Direct:

 

[mikeysab]

Whats fresh direct?

 

[mikeysab]

I'm an idiot, its grocery delivery, right?

Yeah - they are over [priced but have fresh ingredients - and their beer selection is pretty nice considering our delis here are kinda lacking in beer.

 

[mikeysab]

I told you to get your keaster to holiday beverage

 

[Airborneguy]

It's hard to beat Holiday on Staten Island. I'm fairly confident that they have the best selection going.

 

[mikeysab]

How did your brew day go, Elliot?

 

[sublimnl]

I told you to get your keaster to holiday beverage

That's still planned - had already made my Fresh Direct order at that point though.

Also; on the brewing front - I am 30 minutes in to my 90 minute boil - very excited

Amen to that brother

Wow, styrian goldings are potent; wondering what the landlord thinks I am cooking

So about 5 and a half hours later, my third brew is in the fermenter (thanks again mike!)

I'm exhausted. Didn't realize how much more work 3 gallons would be.

 

[mikeysab]

Cool, now that you filled my better bottle up, you can drop it off at my house tomorrow. Thanks for the beer.

Hah! At least wait for fermentation to stop (or even start)!

 

[SeanGC]

The ol' bait and switch lol.

 

[mikeysab]

No way, I told you I love watching fermentation in that thing.

 

[Airborneguy]

Geez Sean, if I knew you were Jason Vorhees' brother, I wouldn't have signed on for this club nonsense. I'm packing tomorrow now.

 

[sublimnl]

Mike: You are more than welcome to come by every night to watch I am stocked on beer now for the instant gratification part.

The worst part is now I have to clean the kitchen again... cracking an alpine spring to get me through this.

 

[SeanGC]

You should see what's under the mask, it's far worse lol.

BTW, what grain mill does everyone use? I've been dying to get my hands on a 3 roller. I currently have a JSP malt mill.

 

[sublimnl]

I don't have a grain mill (yet) - so far my first two brews were kit based and this one Whole Foods milled for me. I don't know when I will be ready for a mill.

 

[Airborneguy]

Barley Crusher. I've had it for a little over two years now and am very happy with it.

 

[mikeysab]

I have a bc as well. Love it

 

[Airborneguy]

Subliminl, I'm bringing your ticket for the Brewfest today. You still want it right?

Yep - definitely - $45 right?

 

[Airborneguy]

Yup. See you soon.
