SYRACUSE NY - ROUND 4 Group Grain Buy

[CidahMastah]

here is one of the ones people have been buying:

5181K42

5233K552 was one of them too.

I think this is thinner than the line I got from keg connection (wall thickness). But the price is unreal!

I am thinking of snarfing up 50 feet with my keg seal orders.

cidah do you have any old picnic taps? or liquid side ball lock disconnects? that i could borrow or possibly buy off of you?

I only have two party taps that are still in use and "in use" disconnects. I might have a new spare of the liquid post disconnects, but I am not sure.

You on a DIY mission?

I actually just replaced the beer line in my blingman bottle filler (a buddy is going to bottle some stuff up this weekend)

 

[rustbucket]

kinda... just trying to save money so that i can dispense 3 kegs for upcoming camp. Austin has the whole set up for 14 dollars but i need 3 of them so then after all said and done im up to 50 bucks. just seeing if anyone has stuff they wanted to get rid of.. lol

btw give me 10 minutes and ill upload my new kegorator and hop trellis

 

[rustbucket]

here is the new kegorator :rockin:

outside shot

Inside Shot fits 3 kegs, then made shelves under and beside to fit bottles and what not

This is the trellis, have a cable going across for both variety so that i can lower each one on its own like a pulley system. Chinook on the right, cascade on the left the whole thing is 18 feet tall, and the chinook is just about 14-16 right now Closest one on the right

 

[CidahMastah]

very cool for both the kegerator and the trellis! Next year I am going to have to bump up the trellis design for sure (and relocated the rhizomes to a permanent location).

I bet you are loving your draft action right about now! I freakin love my tower on my bar. Just another way to dodge bottling.

Yeah everytime I start to pull together the hardware order the price go up - so I keep flinching and think... maybe I will just grab more hops instead!

 

[bierhaus15]

Anyone's hops have cones on them yet? Mine just started getting burrs over the weekend - seems a bit late this year.

 

[rustbucket]

all mine have the little burrs on them right now.. no cones.. i figure mid-end of august harvest... or even early September

 

[TwoGunz]

I just had the first glasses from my first two all-grain batches that are also my first two to be kegged... so damn good.

One of them was a guinness cline of sorts but with more to it. That will definitely be a regular around here.

See - AG is doable!

For me the freshness of the brew just seems so much more. Awesome that it turned out. Now time for your nitrogen install!

mine are all burrs too. I am hoping I catch them in between trips and vacations.

I think everything is a bit behind this year. At least it feels that way. Right now we are just starting to get our garden veggie onslaught. I think last year this was happening a few weeks earlier.

 

[rustbucket]

my veggy garden is also behind.. could be because of the late start due to the immense amount of rain this spring.

corn is waist high, but everything has exploded the last few weeks... my pumpkins and squash are growing like crazy...

 

[CidahMastah]

yup +1 on rain holding us up

we just started pulling giant squash out last week. Now we are getting snow peas, beans, cucumbers, etc. The tomatoes are primed, just not ripe yet. Good times! I have a feeling we will be canning soon. Just pulled up our shallots and garlic last weekend too (curing in the basement).

 

[rustbucket]

i wanted to do garlic but i was to late for me to do it...

my squash are just starting (butter squash tho) tomatoes are flowering, cucumbers flowering, watermelon just spreading like crazy... and the pumpkins each one has a vine like 10' long...

plus the gourds for my mom are starting to take off too....

Did you do the giant pumpkins? Last year I did one of the giant plants and got 3 pumpkins off it. One was ~60lbs one ~90 and the largest about ~140lbs

I have fruits on the pumkin plants, but I have been breaking them off and the plants are now taking over the landscape!

We do it all from seed as well. Almost forgot I have cayenne, habenaro and jalapenos as well. Last year the cayenne and jalapenos did great. First year for habenaros.

 

[ScottishPete]

CidahMastah have you made your McMaster order yet? I have about 10 corny's I need to reseal ( both pin & ball ) ... can I get in on your order?

You are in! I am haven't made the order just yet. If there is other stuff you want let me know. I hope to place the order this week. (14 kegs for me )

So I will put you down to split the order in its entirety (as previously posted). Let me know if there are any deviations from that. i.e. you want to get 10 seals instead of split 10, etc.

i only have one giant pumpkin plant the rest died before i got them in the ground... i did cayenne last year.. i dont eat that many peppers so i held out this year... (i dried mine and made a cluster like you see hanging down in the south west.) alot of mine are pumpkin pie pumpkins (little ones) plus the Cinderella pumpkin

for the giant ones, i heard if you break all the fruits off but one, all the supply will go to that huge one and make it enormous. like 200+

Holy geez that place has a lot of stuff.

Clef - as you can see we need some hungry grain buyers this round. Even I am not buying that much for once!

Hi folks
I'm a new home brewer, just completed my first attempt (California Commons extract kit) a few weeks ago (went from primary direct to keg). [Actually, I brewed once before way back in 1990 or so.] Anyway, I can tell already that I would like to brew from Scratch, i.e. All Grain, probably using one of the more simplified batch sparge methods mentioned in HB. So, I am up for purchasing some bulk grains.

I was thinking of going in for:
CM-2ROW x 2

I'm not that concerned about medium-term storage, as I plan on putting these in food grade containers with Gamma-Seal lids (which are awesome) and tossing in a couple of oxygen absorbers. (I'm assuming that barley can keep like other grains as long as you keep moisture and oxygen away from it.)

I might also be interested in a couple of splits, but since I am new at this would appreciated suggestions as to what might be useful. In general, I like hoppy pale ales and IPA's. I will drink other stuff but am not that crazy about porters, stouts, Scottish Ale, etc.

I live in the Albany area and would consider car-pooling, but am also ok with a drive to Syracuse as I have folks to visit while there.

Thanks, and suggestions are very very welcome.

 

[rustbucket]

sounds good, i had my dennys rye the last couple nights.. i can not get enough of it.... that is so good... (recommend to anyone that likes hop flavor) def a rebrew.. only if it was less alc i would drink more of it!
