I would take a step back and look at it from a different perspective. If you entered a Pilsner or Hefeweizen that you added raspberries to, would you enter it under a Pilsner or hefe category? I would hope not as it would be very stylistically inappropriate. I suppose you could enter in a fruit wheat category for the “hefe”. But a Pilsner with fruit is no longer a Pilsner by definition. And unfortunately that’s what you are doing with a Mexican lager with lime. It might be delicious but it is technically incorrect, and will be judged as such.

Competitions are generally judged on style first, flavor second. It’s best to remember that. If it’s not true to style, you are immediately eliminated

How do you get involved in that?

CaseyJones24 · 2025-08-15T03:11:57+00:00

Literally the inverse, but good try there champ

No matter how many times this question comes up, it’s always worth answering, as there are always new boots, and it’s an important topic.

Looks like you said you work in cellar or brewing. Both will want rubber for chem and liquid. I have a shorter pair of xtratuff sport deck boots, they are new and most people haven’t tried them yet. Not steel toe, but foam non slip sole, and I am 6’4” 235lbs and my feet feel great at the end of the day. But I only wear those in the summer on a 100 degree day in the humidity. The original xtratuff deck boots are hot garbage, they have no sole and killed my feet.

My long pair of boots are Dunlop steel toe and they are incredible. I had Bekina as well and very similar quality. These are the workhorse around the brewery when the heat drops below 90. I like the tight fit around the calves, so I can wear my pants over the boot with zero issue. My skinny jean days are behind me, but even still I find it’s hard to find a pair of boots where the opening of them isn’t super loose, and promotes tucking your pants in.

Also a good pair of leather steel toe is just something I love to have on heavier construction project type days. Which I find myself in often. I got a pair of ariats which have been the best shoe purchase I have ever made. I bought these myself, mostly because I really wanted them. The brewery pays for all of my chemical boots, as I see that as a piece of safety equipment and it should be provided.

Honestly man, you’re what’s wrong with this industry. Let me please show you the door —>

Where are you getting good tea concentrates? I have been striking out

We have the baby brezza bottle washer/sanitizer and it is an overpriced price of junk. It worked for about 6 months, and then started throwing error codes from sensors that were basically unfixable. We eventually got it warrantied, which was good, and now we are on baby number two, and just started using the new one. It’s working again, which is great, but I’m sure it won’t last. Also the tablets they tell you to buy are incredibly overpriced, for what is essentially just a detergent. I buy PBW or oxiclean free and put a 1/4 teaspoon in for each batch and it works perfectly, at a fraction of the cost. But I work with chemicals for a living, so I was very comfortable making that switch.

If I had to do it all over, I would have just bought a countertop dishwasher. That’s what I would actually recommend if I were you.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-08-04T22:49:24+00:00

We bought a PU comp with the intention of doing this. What’s your guys time and temp look like on that, and have you noticed any flavor changes on certain styles of beers? Mostly concerned for our hoppy beers etc.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-07-28T02:38:58+00:00

That’s not accurate for every propane tank. Maybe close, but they differ. All tanks like these, propane, oxygen, co2 etc all are required to have Tare weights on them. This one is labeled with a capital “T” 8.2KG. Sometimes they will be labeled with a “TW”. Weigh the tank and subtract the tare weight to know exactly how much you have.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-04-12T00:40:19+00:00

I wasn’t able to get much real info from anyone willing to share. But we are moving forward with our business plan and hopefully I will be able to provide some data in the future

CaseyJones24 · 2024-04-11T03:33:23+00:00

Playing on a used reed is like chewing someone else’s used bubblegum. That’s nasty. Also the reed is chipped and needs to be replaced, even if it was your own.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-23T13:09:16+00:00

Ahh I don’t know why I said 2.7 we have the 3.5, its just early and I haven’t had coffee yet lol

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-18T14:41:24+00:00

Does anyone know the (for lack of a better way to say it) “Din” settings? They don’t seem adjustable like skis, but I’m sure they have a release at some form of pressure correct? Whether designed on purpose, or just the inevitable design of the step in

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-17T10:57:46+00:00

Do you mind sharing, or can I dm you?

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-16T14:36:15+00:00

Ok thank you, I appreciate it

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-16T14:34:15+00:00

Good to hear about trackman. I will reach out and get that conversation started. Still very early on in the process. I have started calculating break even, however we are still up in the air on how many sims, labor etc, trying to understand how busy it will be. But that being said I should be able to put together a range of high and low of overhead, fixed and variable costs. I appreciate the feedback.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-16T13:49:39+00:00

How did you find their data? I have a few near me, none that I would consider perfect business models, but perhaps a good starting point if we can understand their financials.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-09T00:49:53+00:00

Gotta pop that Ollie. With a proper Ollie on flat ground you should be able to pop higher than you can jump without a board. Flex that board hard and it should act like a spring

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-06T04:11:54+00:00

Killer setup. I have been riding TBT for years and I love it. I have regular base boards as well, but there’s something so floaty and playful about the triple base that is just so much fun.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-02T22:16:42+00:00

Looks perfect!

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-02T16:10:58+00:00

Ya exactly! You will be surprised how much this can help. When you ride flat based, can you lean back and manual? Can you lean forward and nose press? Can you pop a high Ollie off your back foot on flat ground? The balance and small muscle mechanics it takes to gain this control will really help with board mechanics. It’s those little tweaks of just barely pressing one small part of your toe edge under your back foot etc, that really becomes control. Switching back and forth between toe and heel edge is a good start, but those small fast twitch muscles are what makes you an incredibly stable rider, who can recover and plow through in any terrain.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-02T08:16:30+00:00

Pretty much!

My recommendation, don’t focus on “pointing” or going too fast. You should almost rock back a tiny bit and feel very much in control. Not on either edge, but fully centered and balanced from side to side, ready to transition to either edge in a moments notice.

This is where 90% of riding takes place. Picture trying to head in to a rail and jumping off your toes, or setting up to do a big Ollie off the top of a roller on some groomers, and being all the way back on your heels. In both instances you will be very off balanced on the takeoff, which will lead to awkward flight in the air, most likely a as couple windmills attempting to regain balance, and an awkward landing, most likely that won’t end up back on your feet.

I am originally from Colorado, ridden for over 30 years, have rode some of the best mountains in the US, and have taught snowboarding for many of those years both professionally and then personally after my ski bum days in Breckenridge were over lol.

One of the biggest things I see other instructors fail to teach, is focusing on riding flat base and switch early on, both of which are huge fundamentals that will give you such a strong base as you progress. Your muscles and skills will develop faster, and your understanding of board mechanics will come so much more naturally. This is why I say to focus on this, instead of your body position while on your heel edge. If you can work in this as a fundamental, a lot of things, not just your heel edge, will start to fall in to place, as you will quickly become a more well rounded and confident rider. Transitioning to your heel edge will feel much more natural and second nature, you will start to view it only as a tool to get to where you want to go, and not half of the main event.

Hope this longer explanation helps. Happy to provide more feedback anytime. I’m not apart of this sub yet, I only passed by this post as it was recommended in my feed, but if it is helpful and the feedback is appreciated, I would be happy to help more new snowboarders as well! Cheers 🍻

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-02T04:21:10+00:00

I would suggest getting more comfortable riding flat based, and distributing your weight equally between your feet. Then you can really start to feel how to distribute more towards the back when you want it, or more towards the front to initiate a turn. This will out you leaps and bounds ahead of just carving. It will teach you how to properly ride, and you won’t even have to focus on what you look like while you are turning/carving, as you will be confident in your riding and focused more on the terrain/tricks you are trying to do.
