Need some help

Fri May 02, 2008 12:34 am

Fellow BN Members,

I really need some help here, I am in the army currently deployed to the middle east. I get to come home fro a few weeeks in june for some much needed R&R. My problem is I have a five keg system at the house that is empty. Is there any one out there that know a lace to get some corny kegs filled in the Tampa area. Or anyone that might want to brew some good homebrew. I am having a big BBQ welcome home and would like to despense some beer from my system. idont have time to brew and i have not lived in the area long enough to have made connections. Help me if you can

BrewerB might be able to help you. Not sure if he still lives in Tampa, but I'm sure he can send you in the right direction.

You'll have a hard time getting your cornies filled commercially because Florida doesn't allow growlers of any size. What I have done several times is buy a keg of whatever you want and jumper it into your purged corny.

June 7th there is a Pepper Beer judging at Dunedin Brewery. Should be several of the local homebrewers there. Keep an eye on http://dunedinbrewersguild.com for details of that one. The other big club in the area is Tampa Bay Beers http://tampabaybeers.org. A quick email to either one should get you going in the right direction.
What's on tap: Cream Ale, Imperial Blonde

Get home safely!! I think any beer consumed on US soil will be amazing after being in the Middle East.

Some brewers will fill cornies for you if they are cleaned before hand and they are kegging that day. E-mail some local breweries and find out if they do that stuff.

Everyone,

Thanks for the help, at least now I have a place to start looking. I was trying to avoid 15 gallons of the same beer but that is always an option. I can't wait to get home in December and brew again. Again thanks to all for the help.

Brant real name is not Joe brewer, but of course you knew that.

Joe is a term we refer to people in the army as. The brewer part is self explanatory.

Real name and rank.
