Title: Brew maps
Post by: Jaroslavb on September 16, 2015, 12:13:25 PM
Are you brewing beer at home? Than don't hesitate and join our growing community of home brewers. Present your brewery to the world, get to know fellow brewers, exchange your beer and much more.

Read our help, create account for free and register your home brewery now - it will be displayed on the map immediately. No information is compulsory during brewery registration, you can freely choose your own level of anonymity.

Still got questions? New ideas? Did you find a bug? Visit our forum, or contact me via e-mail admin@homebrewmap.com.

The map itself is just a beginning.

I want to build something like "Home Beer Exchange Platform" as well, freely inspired by American BottleTrade (https://www.bottletrade.com/) website.

I had an idea of incorporating brew clubs in a map. Add in meet locations, days and times.
Travelling homebrewers could then meet up.

Just for your information - I've added new category into HomeBrewMap (http://www.homebrewmap.com), which can be used for registering Home Brew Shops & Commercial Breweries selling yeast/malt/hops in small home-brewer scale.

Great idea John, not sure if you've ever heard of the online community for knitters called Ravelry... no? I'll continue so.
A lot of traveling knitters will use Ravelry to look up local knitting groups and drop in for a pint and a chat. It's a great way to meet locals when traveling.

Pint and a chat about knitting? You are a wolf in sheep's clothing

All right, some kind of Events/Calendar enhancement sounds good, I'll try to implement it to HomeBrewMap.

Hello,
I've implemented initial Events/Calendar system on www.homebrewmap.com. There are still many issues to solve (graphics, missing documentation, ...), but if you want, you can give it a try...

I'm looking for your feedback.

Martin.

Hi,
FYI: I've finally implemented Attendee/Registration options to Events Calendar (including Help pages).

I like your idea, but personally I don't want other brewers knowing where I brew or where my gear is  :(
I see Irish Goat got around that and is now brewing in Woks ;)

Yeah I'm the same and it's the reason I wont use the site. The most I'd put would be Dublin city.

I understand. All homebrewers from our country don't wish to show their addresses also (because of strict laws/taxes reasons).

But this has a solution. Excerpt from help pages:

If you don't want to show exact address of your location in a map and at the same time you don't like automatically generated address after clicking on city centre/railway station/playground/church/..., please switch off "Sticky marker", fill only chosen fields in Location details form and click on some public space near your location.

P.S. Just curious - I can't imagine why it is wrong when other brewers know your brewing location? Unless its like in Czech Republic where nobody wants authorities inspection.

Some folks on here have brewing sheds out in the garden that are full of expensive equipment. Can understand if they don't want to advertise where exactly they are. As you say though, point it to the local village to give a rough idea and it's grand.

Yeah I  wouldn't be overly keen on people knowing exactly where i live .Not that i have a fortune in brewing gear , but i do have other stuff out there I`d rather not be nicked .
I think as long as people can see what town you`re in that should do .Maybe if everybody picked the local bus station/stop ? That way you get a good idea of the spread of brewers, without people needing to give out their home address . Also works for any stuff being picked up or dropped off . Details like where and when ,can then be worked out between members via messages .

Hello everybody,

FYI: I've finally started home beer exchange "platform" (part of www.HomeBrewMap.com site). It still runs in test mode, is available in English only and lacks documentation, but it was already successfully used for a couple of real-life exchanges :)

Please feel free to try and test the application and if you are brave enough you can use it for real swaps as well ;) You even don't have to register your home brewery to use HomeBrewExchange application (you only have to create your user account).

Regards,
Martin

The black helicopters from Diageo is it?? :P 

I don't mind putting my info up, stuff homebrewers have is way too small to be stolen to order anyway as well as being very difficult to shift (in both senses).

Hi,
If you are going to formulate NEIPA recipe with a lot of first wort hop additions and even more whirlpool hop additions I believe you will get stuck on final IBU estimation.

In this case you might want to check this new Diversity Methodology developed by Petr Novotný (Zymurgy Contributor by the way).

Part one (http://diversity-pivo.blogspot.cz/2016/10/cesta-horkych-latek-1-dil-uvod.html), part two (http://diversity-pivo.blogspot.cz/2016/11/cesta-horkych-latek-2-dil-z-chmelu-az.html), part three (http://diversity-pivo.blogspot.cz/2016/11/cesta-horkych-latek-3-dil-vyvoj-noveho.html) and finally the most important part four (http://diversity-pivo.blogspot.cz/2016/11/cesta-horkych-latek-4-dil-pocitame-ibu.html) (so far in Czech only - maybe Petr will publish new article in Zymurgy about this methodology?  :) ).

But you don't have to study the math nor create your own application. If you want to try the new model, you can do it online here: https://www.homebrewmap.com/en/tools/calculators/ibu-diversity
