This afternoon we are making our first retail keg delivery. Just a corny, but the fiance’ and I are quite nervous/excited/worried, whatever. It’s an American Amber. Started with the BCS recipe, but tweaked it over the last couple years.
I sure hope someone buys one. And then decides on another.
May your keg find some new thirsty friends.
Best of luck to you guys, Mic! I know how much this means to you two.
Very cool! I had a lot of day on our first launch. What are you doing for tap handles? Have any swag? Make it into an even and you will drain that corny in an hour or so. We went through 6 halves on our launch.
How did you go about finding a buyer? If you don’t mind me asking…
He found us really. We won a local pro-am and brewed with him, on his system. He encouraged and helped us through the TTB and LCB process, and bought our first keg. And before the night was over, I brought him a second. It was so wild. We brought the keg down about 4pm yesterday. Some out of town folks were there, and one had a pint right away. They were homebrewers from Seattle. (I’m 100 miles West of Seattle) They shared that pint, got up, and bought three growlers.
Of course my head grew about three sizes with that… LOL
There you go. Congratulations.
Awsome day! I’m ubber Happy for ya. To the first and many more for you!
And yesterday he ordered 2 more kegs. Pretty exciting for an opening weekend. I’m sure things will slow down a bit. After our wedding this Saturday, we’re gonna work on getting our own taproom approved. It’s pretty easy in this state.

Congrats, I hope it goes well with you and you’re able to get more business.
Way to go, man. I’m really happy for you guys. Enjoy your big day on Sat.!
You look like one of my brothers! (not sure that is a good thing)
Have a great time! Beer can wait in times like this. Best of Luck to you both!
Congrats! Great story to hear!
Awesome! Congratulations!
That’s so cool! Best of luck.
I read you are only doing ten gallon batches. That’s an awesome way to start out! Can you post pics of your brewing setup?
I can, but it’ll be a bit. But, you can also just go to the Blichmann website. I use their top-tier, with three keggles, burners at each level, total garvity. I have four big chest freezers with controllers for fermentation and aging. Big three basin stainless sink with returns on each side. Just got my MM-3 monster mill, and picking up corny’s whereever I can. I have about 30 right now.
Fantastic! Is this all in your home or in a separate building? Different states have different regulations.
It’s in a seperate building on our residential property. We had to request a variance from federal law from the TTB. But, it’s so common to issue these variances, the TTB sent us the form letter to request the variance, and we just filled int he blanks.
We could never have done this if we had to rent or lease additional space.
