help me make better beer

Post by the_orf »

Hey all you improvising lushes (and I say that with love),
I'm in need of some more practice on my fancy-shmancy new brewing system, dubbed Brueben, so that I can produce high-quality beer on a consistent basis. I have encountered a couple issues with this:
(1) beer ingredients cost money to buy
(2) once the beer is made, it needs to be consumed
Since neither my bank account nor my liver has endless capacity, I seek assistance from YOU, the beer-drinking improvisors.

Here's my offer: if you would like fresh-brewed Orf beer and are willing to pay for the cost of the starting ingredients, I will provide you with a finished product that should be pretty tasty.

A single batch on the Brueben at the (not-quite-bulk-rate) price which I buy them comes to about $45-$50. This produces about 10 gallons of beer, or roughly four cases of typical 12-oz bottles. That's four cases of Orf brew for $50, or $12.50 per case. Such a deal!

Quick TABC disclaimer: I don't have my state or federal license to sell beer yet, so let me rephrase my offer for legal purposes: If you buy $50 worth of hops and grains, I'll provide the labor for free! And you'll end up with a completely legal beverage! Such a deal! Perfect for parties or showcase events!

I realize most of you probably don't want four cases of beer at one shot, so feel free to ask for lesser amounts and hopefully I'll compile enough to build a full-batch order. Turnaround time is 4-8 weeks depending on style and when I can fit the brewing into my schedule.

I'm only working on three styles at this time--Salutation golden ale, Rockhopper IRA, and Roasted Barley Pop--so them's yer choices. Descriptions available at orfbrewing.com

Thank you for your assistance!

Hello friends,

Will anyone like to go halves on a $50 4-case deal of Salutation? Or thirds?
I want this beer, but I don't want to pay a full $50. Yes?

Cheers.

Herr Mein Brigadeer,
I've got another person interested in a half-batch of Saluation. You catch me with $25, you got yourself two cases of Sal in a few weeks.
(Unfortunately, Orf Brewing's cash flow is really low right now, so payment up front is appreciated.)

Sorry, I've been out of town the past week.

We can arrange a drop this weekend. PM me so it remains real secret-like.
