I just found a new
website that I think has some great potential. It is called Brew
Shuffle. Currently, there
are not many homebrewers signed up (at least locally in San Diego). With the
number of homebrewers (AHA estimates 1,000,000 homebrewers in America)
currently brewing this could be a great way to try unique beers and find new
inspiration.
Plus I also think
this site will make my blog much more interactive. With each recipe I post I
will make sure to post some shuffles to Brew Shuffle so readers can try beers
that they are particularly interested in.
The site is pretty
well setup and looks very straight forward to me. You start by creating a
Profile page and then you start to add brews. For each beer, you add the basic
details and then decide how many beers you are willing to share or
"shuffle".
I like the search
function because it allows you to filter the results in many helpful ways
including seeing available "shuffles" on a functional map.
Here is the link to
my Profile Page so you can choose to follow me - Brew Shuffle - Bikes, Beer
& Adventures. Plus I
will add a link on each recipe post.
Brew Shuffle fills a pretty large void by connecting people interested in swapping homebrew on a single site. I know that there are similar tools available on BeerAdvocate (but for commercial beers), and within beer forums like the one associated with Northern Brewer (but far less organized). This seems like a good idea. I guess I need to bottle more...
ReplyDeleteI know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog
ReplyDeleteand was curious what all is required to get set up?
I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kudos

DeleteBlogs are free to create and hosting would be the only thing you could spend money for, but the 2 big blog companies - Blogger(the one I'm using) and Wordpress have free hosting. Their hosting is free as long as you use their domain name(url) or you can pay the $10-$15 a year to have your own domain.
A lot of people actually make money from their blog by displaying ads, but as you can tell I don't do this as a source of income and there are no ads on my page.
Good luck and hopefully this helps.
