Worked until midnight lastnight installing valves on fermenter cooling system. Now just to get them wired to Rancos this weekend and the FV will be up and running, installation pics to come!

Sorry I’ve been gone for so long but as you can imagine starting a brewery takes a ton of time. As mentioned we’ve been up dating through our Facebook and Kickstarter pages but I’ll try to do a better job here on HBT. So what’s a brewery update without pictures...

The Des Moines Register has a write-up in today's paper. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/things-to-do/food-and-dining Brewery update: The concrete has been poured, I repeat the.... I never thought getting the concrete poured and right (still working on it) would be such a task. Any way the...

Counterflow no contest!

Yeah our taproom is over 2,100sf, so we got plenty of space. Still thinking about some games we want to put in. The first lumber order is going in this week and construction of the cold room, office, meeting and small storage room are first up. I'll make sure I get some good pics.

As of yesterday we have finally submitted our paperwork online to the TTB! Now with the building permit in hand (got it Tues) we’ll begin building some walls while the floor and plumbing work gets a little further down the road. Also as of today we’ve launched our KICKSTARTER...
