Brewery Update: Plumbing Done, Next Up...

Thanks to the help from Nick Taylor from Taylor's Plumbing and Heating making extra time over the weekend, we were able to get the plumbing part of the system done! This includes hooking up the water line from below, an output for the wort chiller, a line going through the water filter, water heater and back to being right next to the first tank of the brew system. The water heater was installed on Wednesday. 

This is another big milestone after being Federally approved and allows us to start working on:

• Doing a thorough cleaning of the system.
• Hooking up the hoses and doing a water test batch.
• Water testing, before and after the water filter.
• Finalize initial recipes and order ingredients, we're currently working with BSG in Shakopee, Minnesota.
• Purchase remaining small equipment needed such as extra hoses, yeast cultivation equipment, more shelving.
• Setting up the serving parts, including kegs, keg cooler, and tap system.

Other areas being worked on include:

• Ventilation system installation: This is the last part to be fully operational.
• State approval: This is in process, a review is done in St. Paul followed up with an on-site inspection, from which we can apply for a City license.

Will be a busy week and very much looking forward to the above 0 temps. Events tonight include happy hour specials from 4-6pm, the Boly and Ringer Sports Back-Talk Show, followed with comedy/game night, now have backgammon.
