Syracuse Area Brewers?

[CannibalAJ]

Yet another 'Cuse brewer. Just racked a blueberry wheat to the keg. I hope it's carb'd for 'Merica day tomorrow!

Working on making the move back up to the Syracuse area. Spent some time checking out a few places in the area and took a day trip down to Ithaca Brewery stopping to check out a couple other places including Hopshire. Beautiful area, looking forward to spending some time exploring some more. Started brewing my own and moved all my equipment to my buddy's house in Cicero so if anyone is local let me know. Have 3 kits fermenting now. A Furious IPA clone, a Gumballhead clone and a belgian saison split into a ginger and tart cherry. Planning on putting a mashtun together when I make it back up in a week and trying my hand in all grain. I'm also working on putting together a business in the area and have my eye on an old gas station on main st right off of bear. Aiming towards a craft beer cafe type of thing with a convenience store and fill up type of theme. Always looking to meet new people that share the same passion so message me!

Fellow brewer here in Brewerton. I have been doing extract kits and have 7 or 8 batches under my belt. I am slowly acquiring equipment to start AG batches. I picked up a keg (traded a coworker a case of homebrew for it lol) and cut the top out myself. My 10gal igloo mash tun is complete, just need a HLT and a few burners to cook on outside.

I've also been playing around with 1gal mead batches. I have 5 jugs going, but they won't be really good for quite a few more months. I am thinking of trying a cider next with one of my empty carboys.

Hello All,

I am in Camillus, New York and looking for a good crowd to get together and brew with.

I have been brewing for a few years, mostly in the winter months and accrued several recipes under my belt, all of them with in the same base recipe. I mostly brew Wheat beers, but, am itching to venture out into an IPA soon. I am strictly an all-grain brewer and have not had a chance to do the extract brewing. Maybe one day.

Looking to make new friends and educate myself and others.

My website is below. Look forward to making new brewing buddies.

Just found this thread, I live just south of syracuse. When I find free time (which isn't too frequent with 2 young children) I've been brewing extract but I'd like to get into all grain at some point as well as kegging. If anyone else lives down this way feel free to PM me.

I use Jerome Fire up in Clay. They don't do tank swaps and they fill onsite so you are not waiting for your tank to get returned. There price last time I went was 11 bucks for 5lb tank.

 

[Laszlo]

Any sour beers I can buy in this area?

 

[BargainMugs]

The Galeville Bryne Dairy has a couple Bruery sour beers and in the past I've seen some Cantillon at the Finger Lakes Beverage Center in Ithaca.

 

[Andrew862]

Are there any locations that can fill a co2 tank on the weekend? All the places I looked up are only M-F hours.

 

[jeffb418]

No fills on weekends. Sunset will do exchanges.

You can try Brown Carbonic in East Syracuse off of 298... they might be an option... They are pretty good regardless - last time I had mine filled, they let me drop it off before work in the AM and I picked it up at lunch. They don't open till 8 am but they usually have the receptionist there by 730/745... Hope that helps

 

[samandbekah]

Looks like they are m-f too and 8 to 4:30. Give them a call, they are pretty accommodating

Looking to start kegging and curious what my options are as far as buying/swapping tanks. Are there any places in the area that do tank swaps?

 

[dummybrewman]

Me too, I can't seem to find any reasonably priced 5lb tanks or regulators.

 

[joehoppy]

Check out Kegconnection.com. Normally I would always try to keep money local but I had been wanting to get into kegging for a while and hesitated a bit only due to initial cost. Then I came across a holiday special that kegconnection was running, for 124.95 you got a used pin lock keg, 4# CO2 tank, 2 gauge regulator, O-ring kit for keg, Gas line and picnic tap! That was a hell of a deal in my opinion so I went for it. Could not be happier! Since then I ordered two more kegs w/ O-rings and gas and liquid lines. So for a grand total of 243.99 I have a complete keg set up with 3 kegs! My local shop was selling a complete kit with 1 keg for $230.95.

I think Sunset on Erie does swaps. They run decent size tanks too. My tank came with the fridge and I didn't want to swap my nice shiny aluminum tank for some beat up looking thing. That is why I went to Jerome.

 

[dummybrewman]

Yeah, plus sunset is super expensive for just about anything. Thanks joehoppy, I'll definitely do that. Best deal I've seen as well, I was hoping for an even better deal.

 

[gcdowd]

Brown Carbonic has a 16 dollar, 10# fill and they'll keep your tank for you. They are great, and I highly recommend

Yeah I second that, they are very good and you can even drop off earlier in the day before they open for any other 8 to 5'ers

 

[Charles Shyne]
