How on earth did I miss this?
Do you have any pictures of your brewhouse? The only one I can find is from April 2013... you mentioned expanding production; did you upgrade your brewhouse since then too? There must be more fermenters by now
Do you own your cooperage or do you lease it? Or do you serve out of brite tanks? What are you using for cold storage?
Also, I don't see a mill - are you buying crushed grains? If so, who do you get them from, and how willing are they to adjust the crush to your specs?
Do you have any more pics of your heat exchanger mounted on that cart? That's pretty slick.
How long is your brew day... from heating your strike water to pitching your yeast?

1) I dont know how you missed this.
2) Pics are all I have at the moment so what you saw from 4/13 is what our brewhouse looks like. We are adding some 7 bbl fermenters soon. We can add up to 4 without going into a bigger brewhouse
3) We own our kegs now. about 30. it is tight to turn them around. looking to add about another 60 or so. We served from brites until a new batch was up, then we kegged. Cold sotrage is a well insulated room cooled with a window A/C unit. we get it down to about 35*F. We use a cool bot to override the a/c unit
4) We have a mill, crushes 55 lbs in about 90 secs
5) Pics of the HEX is all we have. it is pretty f'ing sweet! we have a 1 HP pump hooked to a 3 phase inverter and we can vary the speed on it depends on the need we have at the time. ie transferring beer, pump into the HEX or cleaning with CIP.
6) brew day is about 6 hours. We have an on demand tankless water heater that goes to 185! pretty f'ing sweet again!!
Next time.
