Not sure if this is allowed,  I looked through the classified section here, and saw a few non fishing/kayaking related for sales, but if it is not allowed please delete, or let me know and I will.

I have a bad ass home brewery.  Mostly automated (well for a home brewery).  I am not using it as much as I used to, and I really want to buy a kayak.  Wife says brewery has to go first.

If you all know of anyone who wants a kick ass brewery, turn key this is the one,  and you would be helping me get my first yak!

Here is a link to the craigslist ad (also not sure if that is allowed, but figured it may be preferred over using up this server space):

Wife wants me to keep brewing actually.  But,  I have sorta lost steam on it.  ITs been over 20 years as a hobby.  I am good at it,  but it takes a lot of time.  Its also dangerous (for me) to have beer on tap all the time.  I would typically have at least 4 beers on tap 365 days a year.  Threw a ton of kick ass parties.

One last hoorah with all your brews?! 4 taps sounds fun! NCKA brew party to raise money to get you a new yak. That way you can keep the equipment.

So sweet!
I really miss brewing.
When I sell my house/ buy another with more space, I’ll be all over that setup. 20 gal makes so much more sense.

20 gallons is where it is at.  I mostly brewed 10 gallon batches, but when I was going to throw a party, I would brew up 20s.  Having the 12.5 gallon stainless conicals is a dream.  You can brew up 20 and then use different yeasts and or different dry hop schedules, or temperatures.  Pretty awesome stuff.

A NCKA brew party would be awesome.  Sure would be a great way to get to know a lot of you I am sure.  Sadly,  taking money for alcohol is a big no no.  The tax man does not look at that in a kind light.  Jail time happens.  I am not a big man, and do not want to go to jail.  I think at some point, my kids will get a bit older and I will likely get myself a 5 gallon rig again.  I do love the process, and it is fun to have friends over to drink beer that I made.  I am pretty confident that I am not going anywhere soon.  I will end up getting a kayak, and many of us will end up fishing together at some point.  So,  consider this a soft invite for some time in the future.  My house for pints.
