I know that they had some complications early on. I was told by the bartender that they had to scrap their entire first batch of porter, because they opened the wrong valve and contaminated the fermentation tank. However, that being said they do hav…
I don't really think there are any welding supply shops south of town, and to the best of my knowledge that's pretty much the only place to get a CO2 refill in Columbia. I get mine refilled at Columbia Welding 1333 Business Loop 70 E (College and Bu…
Awesome I've been walking by peeking every couple weeks for months. Everything looked really clean by the looks of it, and the bar looked awesome as Jeff mentioned. Can't wait to try their beer.
Holy Krausen! What's the recipe for that pirate stout? I've been looking at doing one that involves adding rum post boil.
Lovin' the label. It's probably easiest to get them printed at Kinkos, but if you really want to do it yourself I would just use Microsoft Publisher, and select a template that has multiple images per page. You can use glue sticks or milk. Here's an…
Just to let you know I picked up a bunch of bulk from Kent last month, and he offered to let me pick the malt up at his house since it's about an hour closer to Columbia than the warehouse is. Great guy, great prices, and it's been letting me brew o…
I'd really like to see the inner workings of the place if there are another 10-15 people interested, and if Jarrett has the time to facilitate.
Excellent, I'll wrangle up some old pickle buckets and be in for a couple sacks. Looks like their next pick up date is May 11, so there might be enough interest by the next shipment for a group pick up. Great deal though, I would have shot myself if…
Kent is a great guy. He once let me stop his house at 9 or 10pm on a Sunday so I could pick up some yeast I bought. He's a very friendly fellow who is just trying to help out fellow homebrewers.
I buy my bulk grain from a group out of St. Louis, Missouri Malt Supply and I think Jarret can get deals on sacks of grain through Flat Branch, but he'll have to confirm that. MO malt supply has a fairly large list though, 55lb sacks of 2-row can ru…
A little overdue, but I get my CO2 from Columbia Welding Co too, and once I fixed all the leaks in the system I can get about 7 or 8 kegs carbed and pushed on a 5lb tank. The guys that work there are pretty friendly and always ask where the kegger i…
So, like anyone who brews I'm trying to lower the cost of my beers. One of the things I've found that can help is yeast washing. I'm a frequent on Homebrewtalk and there's a great tutorial for anyone who's interested.
