Re: Why does our water supply have so much chlorine in it?

edit: just noticed on another sheet it says they target between .2 - .8 ppm. If that's true, then the levels wouldn't be noticeably higher. So what causes that chlorine smell and chlorine taste, if it's not the chlorine level or the chlorides? Any ideas, since you seem more familiar with this than I?

In the second tab "Info" there are two links to UnitedWater pdfs for Jersey City and Hoboken water results. Search for "Chloride" and you'll find the range of results, which for JC show as 62-92 ppm. A JCBC member got some independent tests done a few years ago and confirmed the results, with his test showing 70 ppm.

Jersey City and Hoboken have 70 ppm of chlorides in the water, whereas NYC has only 12. San Francisco has about 12, Chicago has 13. Why is there so much chlorine into our water? And to head off questions, yes we are getting closer and closer to opening. Beer fridge is wired up, we just have a bit more electric to do and then we have our inspections. So assuming our inspections go alright, we'll be open very soon!

And we do take credit cards for delivery. Oh, and we just got a big shipment of even more wine in the other day, and a lot of scotch, rum, and other spirits. More beer incoming tomorrow as well, so we're constantly updating that list at www.thirstyquaker.com/orders

Yeah of course, we'll be looking to get special and new releases all the time. It's a bit difficult to snatch them up as a new store, but we've got a great relationship with a lot of distributors and brewers, so you have good things to look forward to.

Local guys working to open brewery in Hoboken

A few homebrewers from Hoboken that are good friends of ours and have participated in a homebrew contests and tours in Jersey City over the past few years are working to open a brewery in Hoboken. Thanks to recent changes in state law, this means that you'll be able to buy beer to go straight from the brewery, or even hang around and drink draught beer right there.
902 Brewing has a kickstarter going to help with some equipment costs and are entering the final phase and could use a push, if anyone is interested in helping them out. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1119440733/902-brewing-company

We can't open our doors yet (things move slow in JC), but we're already doing deliveries! We're getting new deliveries every day so the list keeps getting updated, but we've already got hundreds of craft beers, wine & champagne, scotch, rum, and more.
And of course, home beer and wine-making supplies are perfect gifts for Christmas. We have a discount on equipment kits and books at the moment, and a 5% discount on all deliveries if you mention this post. And don't forget New Year's Eve! Visit http://thirstyquaker.com/orders/ for info on how to get a delivery. Also, we did get our hands on some of the things requested in this thread: - Maine Brewing (two beers) - Green Flash (a few, but they ran out of Green Bullet) - Port Brewing (a couple, including Old and Older Viscosity) - Oskar Blues Ten Fidy (and a few more) - Founder's Breakfast Stout - Some midwest and southwest things like Great Lakes, Epic, Uinta, and Pangea And I want to thank everyone for being so supportive. Everyone in the community has been really excited for us to open, and we can't wait to get our doors open so everyone can start browsing.

Yes! We will be doing growlers! It won't be ready to go on day one, but after we've settled in a bit we'll get our taps set up and start serving growlers, which means we'll be able to serve a lot of beers that don't get distributed in bottles or cans.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are moving along and are getting close to opening. We'll have our sign up soon, we're touching up the paint on the walls, and we have just a few last things to do in order to get our beer fridge wired up. The shelves will be getting filled up, and we're hoping to open in about 2 weeks, just in time for Christmas.
If you have any requests for beer, wine, whiskey, or anything else, please let us know what you'd like to see. Comment here, or visit us on Facebook to keep up to date. www.facebook.com/thirstyquaker www.thirstyquaker.com

This is more of a survey response, but last night it was
1: Iron Man or Wolverine 2: Plastic bag (plastic jackolantern was 2nd place) 3: "Thanks" I'm a little surprised at how small some of the plastic jackolanterns and bags were. I guess parents get a small one, using the "smaller plate, smaller portion" method. When I was a kid we went out with pillowcases.

People's Choice - 2nd Place
KAI Brewing (Doug Bellingeri & Michael Consoli) - Galaxy CDA Judge's Choice - 2nd Place KAI Brewing (Doug Bellingeri & Michael Consoli) - Galaxy CDA People's Choice - 1st Place Hoboken Brewing (Brendan Drury & Andrew Zebrowski) - Bodhi Blonde Judge's Choice - 1st Place Jonathan McAfee - Belgian Dubble w/ curry & raisin spice There was a correction with the Judge's Choice 1st place, it seems a couple of entry sheets were mixed up which led to some confusion. Apologies to all. Thanks again to everyone that came out, total attendance including volunteers, judges, brewers and other festival people was about 500. Crazy!

I'm an optimist, but the thought's crossed my mind. I think bars and restaurants tend to see delays more than we will, since we won't have any food prep or cooking stations or anything like that.

Some time in November. Optimistically sooner, but our beer fridge means we have to deal with permits for electric and hvac, which will take some time. Quote:
Yep! We'll be focusing on craft beer, but we'll have some macro beers, some wine, and spirits as well. Quote:
