wow - pretty cool. I guess you need to be pretty sure of your recipe before making 500 gallons.

LOL, yeah about 20x the size of Stix. I'm still there a few days a week as well.
Holy cow! That's awesome. I'm drooling and wishing I could run my hand over that beautiful stainless. Wow!

A lot of cellar work. Cleaning kegs, CIP fermenters & bright tanks, transfer beer, keg, clean out the mash tun etc.
I've been training on the brew system and have performed all the functions there as well. Shawn, the owner and head brewer has really taken me under his wing and has benn very generous in allowing me to learn every function of the operation. I volunteer for most of the grunt work though. It's a huge part of the process and I don't want any illusions of grandure. It's a dirty job...but I love it.
Tom Munoz, the head brewer at Stix where I've also been working has actually allowed me to brew on that system and I'll fill in for him while he's out so I am forever indebted to him as well.
Without these guy's support and confidence, I wouldn't be as comfortable making the transition from homebrewer to opening my own commercial brewery.
I'm going to weld myself some stainless pants...YooperBrew said:
Everett!! My Grandparents lived there. I loved it, actually wished I'd moved there sometimes instead of Florida. Used to be able to see Puget Sound from their second story bedroom window I stayed in while visiting. Unfortunatly, they've passed on and haven't been there since '83.
Are you familiar with the area? We used to go to the ferry dock in Mukelteo to fish. There was a place called Taylor's Landing, they had a window you could buy fried fish at for lunch. Wonder how close Diamondknot Brewing is to it....
Cool pics. Wish we had more breweries here in Florida.....

Diamond Knot Brewery and Alehouse is right next to the Mukilteo ferry dock. They just built a new production brewery dubbed DK II just a few miles up Mukilteo Speedway.

That's superb. :rockin: It's how it is with any biz isn't it? Learn everything you can about every aspect of it in order to run it properly. You know what goes in to the day to day operations that way. And fwiw, I didn't know you were going commercial until I saw the pics in your gallery the other day. Good luck and Godspeed! I look forward to drinking some Naked City here in Central Il. someday!

Awesome!
Just remember to pay it forward someday when a retired former AF wx guy comes looking for a way to learn the ropes.
That is awesome topia. You are truly awesome for the brewing world. :rockin:

Dammit, that's sig-worthy... you think I can fit in three?
'Topia, that's very, very, very cool. HIGHLY jealous, I have you know. Just don't do anything stupid like get any Brett into his fermenters, m'kay?
Brewtopia said:
Wow... Maybe Diamond Knot IS the old Taylor's Landing that I remember. Back in '83 I stole a promotion poster for a race at what I believe was the Mukilteo speedway out of the window of a grocery store. Had that thing for years, but it got away from me somewhere....

EDIT: Still got the poster, but it's for the Olympia Beer 200 at the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe
