premium cquiroga 370:11	Originally posted by nasemoney Originally posted by arrogantb Originally posted by MrBendo I don’t know about that, but Beernews had quoted that Consecration is scheduled for early spring 2009 There was an update that mentioned two batches: Consecration update I updated the article. Batch 001 turned out to be a brewpub-only test batch so it’s not coming in ’08. 002 should be in March (or delay to April is possible). On a side note, Consecration and Compunction have the exact same label though I don’t know if the latter ever made it into bottles. Would that imply that these two beers are very similar? No more than it implies that either one of these beers tastes like garden tools. Compunction was never bottled for sale. It sounds like they just didn’t want to make a new label, when they had one sitting there that was unused. I’d be willing to wager that if/when Compunction IS released in bottles, it’ll have a different label.	10/1/2008 11:36:03 AM Private message

premium iowaherkeye 1832:24	Originally posted by arrogantb Originally posted by iowaherkeye Originally posted by iowaherkeye They found another barrel of the Beatification Batch 2. One of the bartenders told me last Wednesday. The website mentions barrels (plural). Also, if it was just one barrel would that yield enough bottles for retail sale (as mentioned on the website)? Good point, the site does say barrels. I could also read that as we’ve got something from the barrels (but only a barrel), so I dunno. If a brewery said they had something fancy in the bright tanks, they very well may be talking about one specific tank. The bottles are the piddly 375mLs, so I dunno how many you could fill off of one barrel. . . 55 gallons * 128oz = 7,040 ounces. 7,040 ounces * 30mL = 211,200mL 211,200mL / 375mL bottles =563.2 bottles. As long as my math isn’t jacked, I think that’s about right. I don’t know how much fluid can be accounted for evaporation, but 560 bottles is a fair amount. I’m sure some retail outlets will only be getting a case or two. . .	10/1/2008 2:19:19 PM Private message

True, but there’s no way they’ll get 100% efficiency out of that barrel. Plus, I’d imagine Vinnie may want to keep some for himself. I’d guess these bottles won’t make it too far from home, but I’ve been wrong before.	10/1/2008 4:29:31 PM Private message

I’d guess these bottles won’t make it too far from home, but I’ve been wrong before. Yeah, I’ve got no idea how much is lost to evaporation, so hell, it could be 10 gallons--that’s over 100 bottles. Now the 560 is down to 460. So I dunno.	10/1/2008 4:41:33 PM Private message
