Almost 2 months since we opened the doors to the public, to say I've been busy is an understatement. I really need to get some current photos of the place up on here and elsewhere. I'll give it a try come this Wednesday when I get some evening time off when I have a friend in here that tends...

It was great to meet you Erik, sorry if I seemed a little spaced, its been a busy few weeks. Thanks again for the brews, I'll be sharing those with the wife tonight! I'll for sure take you up on that offer of stopping by for a beer at your place next time I'm down your way.

The brew house is a 3bbl, so are all the tanks in the above picture. I have another 2 7bbl fermenters coming and the brite tank is a 7bbl as well. Which ever styles become the best sellers I plan on brewing those twice a day so I can knock out more for distributuion.

This is to be probably my last post before opening!! The brewhouse and brite tank are on their way and everything else is pretty much in place. All the legal and licensing is done, except for getting my proof of Liquor Liability to the state, so that mountain has been cleared. I'm placing...

Long stretch between posts. So update time. I should of had the majority of my equipment in already but a manufacturing snafu delayed things. Should have it by the end of this month. I have gotten all the random bits, half of the kegs I need, bottler, and my four smaller fermentors arrive...

Oh I'm brewing this weekend. Just not at the scale I will be:D. I'm making a run one more time through the starting line up at home. My Pale may have to change as Citra is going to be tough to get this year, but I have enough left for what I need now. So Pale this weekend, IPA next...

Just realized I never put up before shots. Enjoy! And a wide shot

A bit has been done since I last posted. I have been approved by the state!:ban: Just need to get the place finished, inspected, and a few minor pieces of paper work and I'll be licensed. That is still looking to be at least another month or so away. We figure to be selling brews by late...

Still no pictures, sorry. Plumbing and HVAC work will start with the new year. I placed my order with Portland Kettle Works for the bulk of my brewing setup. That will be finalized and started by the end of the week. Happy Holidays yall! Jason

So this Tuesday I close with the bank. :ban: Then Wednesday I'll be putting in my equipment orders, getting the contractor in and starting work on the building. This has been so long coming I'm still in a state of disbelief. Pics SOOOOOON!!!!

Wow. Its amazing how long the government can take, but I have survived. This morning I received conformation from the TTB that my application has been approved and is in the mail!:ban: So once that reaches the State LCC I'll be issued my license. Then its remodel a bit, setup equipment...

Nothing new to post really, just waiting for the gears of gov'ment to turn a bit. I should be hearing soon from the TTB. If all still sings along, I'm looking at license in my hands around early October. I'll be having another tasting on September 3, in the planned brewery site, all very...

Endorphins. Smelling hops will make you happy from the simple fact that you like the smell and the associated activities. Maybe its like catnip for people, they are related too. For the rest I think maybe higher levels of higher alcohols and other yeast by products than comparable commercial...

Only if you come and lend a hand! :D

My wife makes soap too, but she's not done since the kids and school. This is a good idea, and a great way to get her making it again. She also brews and makes awesome wild berry wines. I think you'd add the hops when you're pouring the soap into the molds. We still have some Oatmeal soap...
