I'll counter-pressure fill a few growlers and just leave them with you.
I don't have a beer gun and I tried to do the whole "companion" thing which is just essentially a racking arm with a stopper attached to the insert of the perlick faucet and the tubing came off the racking arm and shot all of the beer in the bottle that was under pressure out all over the kitchen. It was real fun.
Guess I need to put a clamp on that tubing.

I had a similar experience the other night while bottling a couple. Got the racking arm shoved into a picnic tap. Beer wouldn't stop flowing out, even when I released the picnic tap. It was all over the floor in the beer room before I finally was able to get it shut off. That was fun.
But the good news is that my coffee vanilla porter version 2.0 is fantastic.

Very good news.
I called it the companion earlier and it's actually the complement. Besides a few kinks to work out here and there I like it a lot. Bottled beer for the competition and didn't make near as much of a mess as I usually do and all of my growler fills have been great with it.

I've got one of these for growler fills, and it does work well.
I just need to get a picnic tap that shuts off properly and try bottling again. Seems like it would have worked well though.

Where did you get one of those?

I think I got mine from Amazon.

Thanks.
Quick update on beer fests in Louisiana. All is good on the homebrew front. Troy Hebert laid it out like it is and we are good to go for non-profit beer festivals.

Glad to hear.

A few exceptions. Must get local vendor permits if required and also can't exchange tickets for beer, e.g. the city park event for SPCA.
Commercial breweries have it harder. The non-profit has to buy the beer, then the brewery has to donate money to the non-profit. Legislation is in the pipeline to change this. Sucks for the non profit as they have to put up a lot of money.

No one will probably see this but if you're interested in Heady Topper and The Alchemist, Chop and Brew episode 22 just came out featuring an hour long Q&A with John Kimmich from a Nashville homebrew comp.
I've never seen a chop and brew episode in my life and I'm watching this because I haven't seen or heard much from this guy.

The woman who was speaking about the local NOLA permits for WYES.
She originally said they would waive the $50 fee if a entity/club was a 501(c)(3) and later mentioned they may also waive the fee under other circumstances. Did you pick those up?
The guy from the Deutsche house must have been sitting right by the phone. He kept interrupting with questions about their events and you couldn't hear anything else in the room on the call.

He wasn't sitting any closer to the phone than I was. He just kept f-ing talking.
In regards to the NOLA city permit. Non-profit entities have the fee waived, automatically if you present a 501(c)(3) documentation. If you are not a 501c3, but are registered with the state as a non-profit you just have provide that paperwork and it goes under review. Just not automatic. However the permit is for the entire year (jan-Dec).

Yeah, that was a little confusing and we are looking in to that. The two clubs I am involved with are not 501c3, but we're also not-for-profit. Non of us want to go through the hassle of becoming one. There has to be some way to prove we are not-for-profit and get the fee waived without becoming official.
And yeah, the guy from Deutsche House and the guy from CCHB were right by one of the mics, and they were the most vocal in the meeting.

I hope this doesn't mean that we have to pay for our tickets to fests if we are also providing beer.

I would write up a quick club charter/by laws that state you are non-profit and see if they will accept that.
If they don't accept that, state non-profit filing is relatively cheap ($75 when we registered) and painless. The form is basically the same one you fill out for an LLC with a different header.
Federal 501c non-profit filing on the other hand is a complete pain in the arse and it's $400. Our club was eventually going to go this route, but it's really cost prohibitive at this point.

This was in reference to the SPCA event where instead of general admission all you can drink, an attendee receives a set number of tickets and must exchange those tickets for beers.
To me, it sounded like his biggest concern with homebrew / homebrewers was more the health and safety of the product than the 'sale of homebrew.'

Thanks. That actually makes sense.

This came up at the end of the meeting. If homebrewers want to participate in an event, the event has to be general admission not ticket based events.

Frat, I'm really enjoying your IPA. Have yet to crack the saison. Will get to that tomorrow.
I finally got around to moving things around. Kegged up a hoppy farmhoue and an imperial ginger hibiscus saison. The saison will be going to Zapp's. Hit it with another ounce of hibiscus petals in the keg. Probably remove the hibiscus sack tomorrow. Also got my Vienna/Amarillo SMaSH going in the fermenter. Got the controller set at 66 with some S-05. Plan on hitting it with an ounce of Amarillo Sunday/Mondayish. I've been really happy with my last two dry hops. Both have been done before I hit FG. One was added at 1.030 and the other added at 1.040. Both taken out after 3 days. Really good. Fades quick, though. Fades quicker than the typical secondary week-long dry hop schedule.
Ran by Brestock after work and picked up ingredients to make a saison and use that Walloonian Farmhouse with. Went with my basic saison grain bill and some Nelson Sauvin hops. Same recipe as the last saison I made. I want to see how this yeast changes it. Nursed my stir plate back to health with a quick solder. Should help out in the yeast department.
