- I started with Mr. Beer and am moving into the next phase with a brewers best kit, extra fermenter, a 32qt brew pot, a pile of control equipment and software, and 1.5ac of land to grow some hops and barley for experimentation. My buddies are getting into the hobby and we have a mentor and a chef to add to the team. I am the software/electronics guy, and we have a chemical engineer(mentor), a couple of mechanics, and a chef in the team. I have a very limited machine shop and stick/gas welders so it will be interesting to see what we can do on the construction side. I never do things small!
- Brewers best cream ale, Plan on doing some type of all grain brew next week, and ultimately a hops garden and a small plot of barley and soft white wheat to say everything was made on the premises.
