Hey friends, I had a Half Acre Pony Pilsner keg fall into my lap and I just don't have the stomach space for it all! I brought it to the club house and put it in the lagering fridge to chill. It's untapped right now and we might have to maneuver some shelving in the lagering fridge to get the tap on it, but can you guys help me drink all of it?
Hi all. I've been wanting to do a couple of small fundraisers, to help underwrite capital improvements at the brewhouse. Steven Lane and I were visiting about this and we decided to work together on a t-shirt that we could sell, to club members and others. Stay tuned for more details.
But for now, we'd love to get your ideas for tag lines that could be used on the shirt. The graphic would change to fit the tag line. To prime the pump and get your ideas flowing, here are some from homebrewtalk:
I'm not sure if this is "new" news or fake news, but I went to Brew Camp today and all the windows are papered up. They are definitely closed but I'm curious if they're reconcepting or out of business. Anyone heard anything?
Just a heads up... the winning recipe and overall savior of the White IPA style is now on tap @ Horse Thief Hollow! It's called "CHAOS Is a Ladder," and it's just waiting to be enjoyed.
Hi CHAOSites. Last year, I signed up (on behalf of the club) for a kickstarter for a stainless steel autosiphon. They've run into some design and manufacturing challenges, and eventually had to redesign and go with a different overseas factory, changed to metric measurements, etc. I received this email recently, you can read below, but the summary is that they've begun shipping the first batch they received but have found that some are defective. If they have enough that work, we should be receiving ours in the next few weeks or a couple of months, I would think.
Not far from CHAOS, the Busy Beaver Button Company, is hosting a FREE BEER event this Thursday to benefit The Chicago Brewseum. Donations are recommended ($10+)
I hope to see you there to support the beer community and drink lots of frothy beverages!
Cheers!
I went to go place my fermenter in the small lager fridge and it's all packed. The only person that had two spots reserved does not have anything in the fridge. I don't want to put anyone on blast, but please either make a reservation or remove your bucket by Wednesday at noon. That's when I'll be there and that's when I'll just randomly take a bucket out and put in the larger 33 degree fridge. I know it's a pain, but I was supposed to lager today and it was a pain not to get it done. PM me if you think you're in there, but aren't sure.
Hi CHAOSites, spreading the word on an apartment available October 1st in the Pilsen neighborhood. 3 bedrooms, $1,650, central air, in-unit washer/dryer, off-street parking, vintage building with exposed brick, one block from the 18th bus and about 12 minute walk to the pink line. If you're interested, let me know and I'll connect you to the landlord, who is a good guy.
