Hipster alert!

[Spiesy]

Good on them.

It's a single-speed bike that looks, for all intents and purposes, like a fixie, but has a freewheel. Thus it spares the cash-flush but time-poor hipster the laborious task of actually learning to ride a fixie, while still imbuing them with all the credibility. Until they start coasting, of course. It would have to have brakes, so I'd say it can skid. I suppose you could ride it backwards after a running start, or if you were good at 180s.

Ah, thanks. Must say that it's easier to give a girl a single speed rather than a fixie...

Heh, I s'pose I could be mistaken for a hipster in disguise cuz I kept the brakes. Safety.. Yada yada (training weights). Besides, most purpose built road riding fixies come with brakes, those track bikes just don't look up to handling street abuse. Road conversions can't skid, so... No point really. Tbh, hurtling downhill on a freewheel with only the brakes to depend on scares the **** out of me.

What I don't get about this video is that they said there was no brew shop in NY. But that's crap, because I've been to one, it's even in brooklyn, true it's in a bit of a rough industrial area were the locals didn't speak much English.... but it's still there.

I bought a counter chiller from there. It's amazing, 316 plates, if my chill water is cold enough, it can chill 23L of wort to sub 17ºC in under 3 minutes. It was a bitch to get through airport security though.

The brew shop was pretty awesome though, all their grain could be purchased out of drums by the scoop and their hops were pretty cheap. I actually think it was cheeper to buy Galaxy over there than it was from my local brew shop, which is ******** when you consider shipping.

But I have to say, I'm only 25 and have only been brewing for 3 or so years, there is no way I would call myself hipster.

A lot of us Hipster dudes around these parts. You come back now hear !

Hipster rule #1.... Real hipsters wouldn't call themselves hipsters!

 

[Batz]

Did we fail?

 

[jimmy01]

Good luck to them.

I hate them now,more than I already did. Which was a lot.
Come to Newtown if you want to see them in their natural habitat!

Swing by Young Henrys any Friday and you will see plenty of froth providing nutrients for the yeasts in bears, armpits and what not. Lucky you have Ben, he plays 2ws just to screw with em'. Dunno if it is a lack of sunlight that makes their skin bubble when he puts on that radio station, soap or otherwise.

And from most Hipster chicks i've seen, he must be something unknown to any other woman and necessary cool,but one thing for sure he is punching above his weight.

When I went to NY in May I couldn't find a single HB store in Manhattan, I asked around, googled, mapped, everything and the closest was somewhere out in Queens and that was not even worth going to apparently.

I agree that a BM would be okay for an apartment.

Hipsters get bored of everything quickly so I wouldn't worry about them getting into homebrew. HB will convert them into non-hipsters.

 

[super_simian]

He probably knows about the same as you do about footballers.

No. He knows nothing of hipsters. I know more about rapists footballers. You really have a wide-on for footy players huh? Must have been those early touching sessions in the showers...

 

[jammer]

Yup. Been to young Henry's. I actually thought I'd walked into a video shoot for a Duran Duran clip,but with bad facial hair.
They've even got lots of bike racks for the fleets of fixies.
God luv em....

Bit too undiscovered that band is ...

 

[fletcher]

more power to em. their beer might be amazing, and good on em. if they can make a few beans for their troubles then definitely good on em; i'd bloody love to. if it's terrible and still makes them money, DEFINITELY good on em haha.

i live in a metropolitan area, and in a few years will actually be moving to NYC, and i love diversity in everything. honestly. sameness bores the living **** out of me. the more brewers, the better the hobby / pastime / profession becomes for everyone. cheaper, more accessible, different ideas, techniques, research, improvements. the list goes on.

i have respect for home brewing's beggings and excitement for it's future; whoever is in it. the more walks of life involved, the merrier.

 

[petesbrew]

I don't see a problem. Sure it's a huge amount of effort for only a few bottles, but it is designed for apartment brewing.

Love the bondi hipster vid. Those guys are legends.

Again you persist with your boring generalisations. What was it? Now let me think you were the nerd at school who would have loved to play but did not have the physical skills to play and that envy still persists to this day. Or the kid that saw all the athletes get the girls you wanted and used to fantasize about at night.........Could it be that it was the footballers you used to fantasize about at night and your hateful attitude stems from knowing you could watch but not touch........whether it was one of these or some other unlucky event in your self obsessed and over opinionated life please spare us the hate little man.

Wow you are so perceptive. How did you work out my life story with such accuracy?

 

[pk.sax]

Sheesh. Save it for a face to face get together!

 

[goomboogo]

I wish the fish bit this easy.

More than happy to let it rest PF...............didn't start it......................happy to save it for a face to face

You musnt have googled very hard.

I was there in June & found Brooklyn Homebrew. While not exactly in Manhattan, it was only a 10 min trip on the subway off the island. They were great.

That's the shop I visited in July. What a winner!

If wearing a cardigan gets you a root and drinking beers at the same time, can it really be that bad?

 

[hughbert]

my girlfriend bought me the brooklyn homebrew shop book for my birthday last year. it's got some great recipes in it.

as a result, myself and a few mates were going to try and replicate their 1gallon kits here. after a few months of researching tho i deduced the market here is just too small and we couldnt get the cost down enough to make me not feel like im ripping everyone off.

then Adrian here beat us to it anyway.

http://brewsmith.com.au

Their kits make some pretty good beers ive tasted a few! good for getting people into it as it's a small box and everything you need is there. i scare quite a few people off by showing them the equipment i use, no matter how much i stress it's easy to do!

 

[matho]

saw a chick riding a penny farthing around the back streets of redfern today, made me think of this thread, it would have to be the ultimate fixie wouldn't it.
