Larry, Moe and Curley

Funny, I always attributed headaches from drinking too much wine and becoming dehydrated, not with back sweetening or sterilized yeast?

I tested this out last year... I made one batch that I covered loosely with the bucket lid and one batch with the lid snapped on with an Air Lock. After one week I removed the lid off both and found that the gravity was about a half percent lower on the bucket with the lid loosely coving it...

Took a gravity, dropped down below 5% so I racked it into a carboy and pitched some Malolactic Bacteria. The color has mellowed to a darker red... The taste seems a little tart so I'm going to let it rest for about two months before I mess with it again. I will sweeten when its time to bottle.

or Zinfandel

I'm guessing Sangiovese would be one of the varieties Cowboys would have used... buy a couple of lugs, press them, and put them into a carboy with an air-lock... I guess they would just let the natural yeasts on the skins inoculate the must. It’s a crap shoot doing it that way...

Yeah but a credit card is probably given or some sort of signed agreement so if the sprayer isnt returned your company doesnt take a loss, then you would fill out a police report if it is missing. Which you have that person's contact info. In addition, with equipment rental you are renting...

That's in Kentucky? Kind of seems silly... all the kids have to do is cut the tag off and there goes the proof.

All I'm saying that if it wasn't a risk the breweries wanted to take then the deposits would be much higher... problem is big time breweries except it as a loss and go about their business, they sell so much that they can absorb the cost. The little man would have some problems. If you...

Software industry... I know alot about excepting risks

I think taking a Credit Card number from a customer might work and signing an agreement stating if they don't return it the they get charged the cost of the keg and a standard processing charge. if the dont sign the agreement.. No Keg! This way no money is being exchanged if everyone plays...

As for the small time breweries! Buy plastic kegs, they're cheaper and your chances of someone scraping them are slim. I won't charge you for that one wailingguitar.

Funny you say that because I am a Consultant... Professionally :) ... I will say that it is a dynamic situation but it is hardly the problem that you make it out to be! It all comes down to acountability... if the brewery's don't account for thier equipment then who's fault is it? It's a...

in addition... the profit margin for keg beer is significantly greater than that of bottled, canned or any packaged product. Maybe the breweries have a blind eye too!

http://probrewer.com/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-3480.html http://www.plastickegs.com/ Plastic Kegs... See the industry responded to the issue... which the plastic kegs are probably cheaper and they will most likely charge the same depost for the plastic ones as they do the steel...

Probably could been a chapter in the book "Freakonomics"! The rabbit hole goes deeper on this subject... I'm sorry no company is going to let money get taken from them...

That’s what I asked the liquor store owner that sold me the Keg... My words "Is this keg legit because it won’t be returned in the same condition as you sold it to me", he said "They're yours" and gave me a receipt to prove it! Taken into account, yeah kegs are lost/stolen, but...

I wanna try Yooper's Recipe... I can't Wait till Spring!

Nail on the head guys! Early this month I scored three kegs from my local distributor @ 40 bucks each... The owner called some of his contacts and they had three really used kegs sent over to his store in about a week... He said they were mine to keep which it even stated on my reciept that...

I just popped the top on the bucket, I couldn't resist, and I'm amazed at the color! It’s like the color of blood in an 80's B movie... I didn't take a picture this go around but I will next time I open it!
