Too much beer?
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:44:32 AM »
Is it even possible?

It HAS occurred to me that the problem is lack of room to PUT the beer.

A few weeks ago I purchased about 10 sacks of grain (55 lbs. each) at a group buy.



I've been spending a lot of time downstairs in the brewery (watch your head, please!)...





I have run out of room in the beer fridge, there isn't even enough room for the cO2 squid...





Since it has been abnormally hot around here lately (even more so during a brewing session) and most ales ferment cleaner at temps of ~ 65 degrees



 I decided to re-purpose a mini-fridge into a fermentation chamber with some styrofoam knee-wall panels for building patio enclosures that were leftover at my work...





It is much cooler in here, the yeasties sure are happy







but alas, I do no have any more room left in there, either...







I suppose that I could have worse problems...     :devil

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Actually, most of it is earmarked for the ex-wife's wedding (my services were volunteered by the kids)

"Dad, I told mom that we can make all the beer for her wedding!"

Which translates into them, helping weigh/crush the grain, fill the water tanks, light the fire and then proceed to go upstairs and facebook/play games on the DS while I sweat my arse off for 4 hours and clean up by myself  :rofl

Ask the folks that attended the Dayton gathering last year

I suppose that, ultimately, it depends upon your preferences   :D

I have 15 gallons each of the following:








Send me about 100 gallons of water from Burton upon Trent and I'll whip up something reminiscent of a Wolverhampton & Dudley ale.  I'll even serve it barely chilled and mostly flat from a cask and a beer engine   :D

So...  Does the upcoming nuptials free you of alimony payments?  That would be grounds for a party!

Just out of curiosity, how much beer can an individual produce before the government inserts its big fat nose into his/her business?

Its only too much beer when you have so much that the kids can take without being noticed.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Awesome pics! Vonmessa.

The 2011 Gathering of Legends Pale Ale was enjoyed by all, to bad you couldn't come.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

In Pennsylvania...

Statute
Title 47, Chapter 1, Article I, § 1-102 defines Malt or Brewed Beverages as any beer, lager beer, ale, porter or similar fermented malt beverage containing one-half of one per centum or more of alcohol by volume, by whatever name such beverage may be called.

Title 47, Chapter 1, Article IV, § 4-492
Unlawful acts relative to malt or brewed beverages and licensees
It shall be unlawful--
(1) MANUFACTURING WITHOUT LICENSE. Except as provided herein, for any person, to manufacture malt or brewed beverages, unless such person holds a valid manufacturer's license for such purpose issued by the board. Malt or brewed beverages may be produced by any person without a license if such malt or brewed beverages are produced not for sale and total production does not exceed two hundred gallons per calendar year. Malt or brewed beverages produced in accordance with this paragraph may be used at organized affairs, exhibitions, competitions, contests, tastings or judging provided it is not sold or offered for sale.


That is per adult in the household.

Some (2 or 3) states, it is still illegal.

This is not meant to be a political post in any way, shape or form.

It is merely a convenient method of affording readers of this thread, access to the facts of the attempt to pass this law in one particular state.
