I read the latest, and I too am a bit shocked at the attenuation outcome. Same yeast strain as the first batch? I wonder what caused them (yeast) to be so thorough? <BR/><BR/>I have never brewed past the 10 Gal mark, so I can relate to the anxiety jump to 15 bbl or anything past 15 G. Someday I will.<BR/><BR/>I have a question Patrick, Tyler et.al: <BR/><BR/>How has the recent rise in hop costs and energy prices effected you at The Bruery? Are you still able to get the profits you expected?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008918888932466349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126619196991490005.post-66564842106076821302008-04-16T13:08:00.000-07:002008-04-16T13:08:00.000-07:00Hey I can kind of see part of myself in that first...Hey I can kind of see part of myself in that first picture.

Darn TTB, you think they'd get into the 21st century already.<BR/><BR/>I hope to get to some of the "beer friendly" places when you're serving them (although i've already sampled them) to capture the reaction's from the massive crowds for posterity!<BR/><BR/>I'm proud of you Patrick!

For CA, the ABC approves our labels. Their standards are pretty low, so things usually get approved. All of our labels were already approved through them. The Federal Agency is the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), part of the Department of Treasury. They have rigorous standards, so we've had a few rounds of revisions. If any beer falls outside of their pre-determined categories (uses any ingredients besides malt, hops, and yeast, and says so on the label), a Statement of Process / Formula is required. I had to submit my recipe and process to them, and I can't do this electronically, so dealing with the TTB by mail will hold things up. Take a look at https://www.ttbonline.gov/colasonline/publicSearchColasBasic.do and search your favorite beer. <BR/><BR/>PatrickPatrick Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342307960391162515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126619196991490005.post-57100990763041198842008-04-10T09:42:00.000-07:002008-04-10T09:42:00.000-07:00Why do labels have to be approved and who approves...Why do labels have to be approved and who approves them?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759014927072240337noreply@blogger.com
