Outstanding!

Anyone been to Quad Cites area (Moline, IL/Davenport, IA) lately? Good breweries? I'm at Rock Island for a conference Mon-Thursday.

Anyone here do homebrewing?

Selling some of my equipment (Complete Clawhammer BIAB System 120V with neoprene blanket, Brewers Edge BIAB system, Mill, Brewtech SS Fermenter, Pump, CO2 tank about 1/2 full, Anvil Fermenter Bucket, Stir plate, 40 plate chiller, etc.). Not looking to break it up, giving a value of $1,500. There are about 5 Kegs and tons of cleaning supplies, gadgets, and other tools that are not shown in the picture.

Happy to trade for bourbon depending on what you have (e.g. Weller 12, BTAC, Pappy, Old Fitz, OF Birthday Bourbon, EH Taylor Barrel Proof, etc.)

Austin Texas area, but could ship if needed.

Still looking to trade off this equipment, dropped the price down to 500 for all of it.

Have not had this for a long time... still good. Funny story, a few years ago I was at the local Brookshires looking at the singles for the "build your own six pack" for $9.99. Oddly enough they had three Old Rasputins and three bottles of Sisyphus in the rack. They were both marked $11.99 for a 4 pack on the shelf. Got all six.

Love that beer. Been too long, may need to grab a couple in a 6-pack build soon.

Heck of a deal for just $500!

Definitely... If I did not already have two breweries and enough parts to build a third I would be all over that. I sent it to a couple buddies that I thought (should) be interested but they are all just talk.

Appreciate you forwarding it on. I just hate to see it sit there and not get used. I'm just at a point in my life where i can't devote the time to it. Might get back into it in about 6 or 7 years...once the kiddos are grown and out of the house.

I did the same thing a year or two ago.
I had to practically give away my morebeer tippy dump stand… something that costs $5k or more new… got like $600 with throwing in a ton of extra stuff.

The hobby (well, maybe more so the ancient equipment) is dying.

My buddy who owns the local pub is having difficulty getting Duchesse De Bourgogne in the 11.2 oz bottles. He can still get the 750ml. He picked some of these up as a substitute. It's pretty good but it's definitely not the Duchesse.

A few days ago, I found out about this upcoming brew. The brewery will be located literally right around the corner from our house on the lake, less than a five minute walk. The location is by the Blanchard boat ramp at the west end of FM 2457. Address is 125 Indian Hill Blvd, Livingston, TX, 77351.

Supposedly opening in July. I told my wife I was going to get a part time job there as an assistant brewer and/or taster. It's either that or a part time job at the new Ace Hardware store opening in Livingston in April. Just for something to do. She says you have more than enough to do here at home without a part time job. Then I said I was joking. Well, mostly LOL.



So this Lake Life company has been providing different kinds of services as the Lake Life Concierge in this area for a number of years. At least since before we moved into our home in July 2021. They do boathouse/ boat lift repair and maintenance, watercraft maintenance and product installation (underwater fishing lights, piling protection, rope swings, ladders, etc) among others.

Last year, they setup a small smoker (offset stick burner) and started selling BBQ on the weekends along with a snow cone stand on the property. I didn't get around to trying the BBQ, so no review of that. But the grandkids walked over there for snow cones and really liked it.

We've never used their services but from what I've heard, they are very good but expensive.

I figured out my Google Maps issue in the original post. Also, I forgotten to mention the following:

This year, they have established The Lake Life Crawfish Company. They are selling crawfish in 30 lb sacks. They are also providing services to facilitate crawfish boils whereby they deliver the crawfish, cooking equipment, etc to your location. Then they come back later to clean up and haul away the equipment, garbage, etc.

Eating a snack and drinking an Annexation of Puerto Rico Triple IPA while brewing a SMaSH English Style IPA. I will post specifics of this beer recipe later in the homebrew thread if anyone is interested.

My local brewery charges like $12 for this pairing.

Free gs boxes at work and a $2 beer at home!

Some goods I brought back from San Diego with me. I love that town.

Today's Friday share beers. Unlabeled bottle is homebrew Pilsner.

Nice. I love that Le Petit Prince.

I love that beer. Haven't seen it on shelves in BCS in a very long time.
