Was reported on the news over here that power to ship appeared to go out before it veered into the bridge and reports of a fire onboard the ship.Wedgie wrote:whufc wrote:Bridge struck down in Baltimore. Mass casualties suspected.
Crikey, the pilot of that cargo ship is going to be in a bit of strife!

After receiving two x 6 carton vouchers to go to U Brew It for my 40th in 2015 myself and a good mate have been there once a month for over 8 years trying over 50 different beers. We found out yesterday that the next brew we do ( we are bottling this afternoon ) in around 5 weeks will be the last, the operation is closing the doors and moving to a different model, one we're not on board with.
It's a sad day, no longer will I be drinking freshly brewed 6%+ beers at under $40 a carton.

You can still do it at home.
What have they changed too?

I can't be arsed.
The process there was so easy, they'd brew and ferment we'd simply go once a month and take an hour to bottle 6 cartons.

Occasionally we'd get involved if we were playing around with the recipe.

That's good service
But there's not much time involved doing it yourself.
Maybe 15mins putting it down
Then bottling, but once you do it at home you'd upgrade to kegs
Then you just put next kit in fermenter on top of the yeast cake at the bottom

I’ve got kegs at home and beer taps but haven’t used it for 4-5 years now.
Takes too long cleaning/sterilising everything.
Easier to open bar fridge and grab someone else’s beer

What does the “different model” contain?

Kegging is easier than bottling in all aspects
