Quick update after my first day. First off, its awesome. Its tough, its either hotter than comfortable in the brewhouse or extremely cold in the walk in fridge where the serving tanks, lager tank and a couple of the 50bbl tanks are kept. Today i racked 50bbls of hefe, filled kegs and basically watched and tried to pick up as much as possible. I also learned that tri clamps and I do not get along. I'm sore, i'm sure I smell horribly and my hands and feet are going to be blistered. We had a shipment going out today that consisted on 32 pallets with 8 half barrels each that go on to the semi's via forklift but are pushed slightly uphill with a pallet jack the rest of the way in to the truck. Half of the pallets were stacked 2 high so it was really pushing 16 half barrel kegs at roughly 165lbs each slightly up hill with a pallet jack, good times. It's interesting to see the things that we do as homebrewers are pretty much the same but completley different at the 100bbl scale. It's a lot to take in in just one day, the brewer I work with says he learns something everyday even after 12 years as a pro. It's going to be a hell of a learning curve but I am excited to go back tomorrow.
Cheers!
