Damn, really? Ask about the thump tank? Sounds like a good open fermenter to me. I'm supposed to be getting two from Carriage Hill/Carolina Distillery - they're slightly more manageably size. Maybe I'll just drop the coin and get two of these, also. I've got to go get malt at Riverbend anyway...

I believe my friend who is picking them up is going to grab the thump. He's charging the same price for it.

I should've jumped on that.

He's going to look at the thumper tomorrow but if it falls through I can let you know.

That'd be cool. I posted that on here because I was hoping all the barrels would be gone before I lost control and emailed the guy. I can only make 10 gallons of wort at a time, so I figured standard barrels are crazy enough. Then my damn brain started thinking about the thump keg for a fermenter. Which is awesome, but still seems like a step in the 'I want to open a brewery' direction. On the other hand, moonshine barrel stout is one hell of a marketing tool.
