The map itself is just a beginning.

I want to build something like "Home Beer Exchange Platform" as well, freely inspired by American BottleTrade 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, 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.
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

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.
