Lol, thanks! Wouldn't that have been jan/feb of 13? Come on down for some beer and a brewery tour! How's the braumeister working out?
SFBrewer said:It was, wasn't it? Guess I've packed 18+ months into the last 6 or so...I'm getting married this weekend, so that makes sense! :cross:
I'd love to! Thanks! I'll PM you to sort out schedules. Football, brewing, beer and some bbq maybe sounds fantastic...I think I have 30 pounds of organic pork ribs and shoulder in the freezer.
The Braumeister is fantastic! Once you figure out a workaround for the gravity limit that works for you, one can do just about anything on it.

Looks awesome!
cank said:WTF! This is going to require a new thread.
I wanna come play with those.
Too bad I left California a long time ago... :-(
DrHops said:Looks like you're going pro? I recognize that plate filter system from when I used to work in a brew pub years ago.
Are you concerned at all with the amount you brew and how much equipment you have? Are your neighbors pretty cool with this whole thing? I would hate to see the locals come in and attempt to regulate you in your "brew shed". I love your build.
Sentinel said:Congrats! Excuse my ignorance, but I've been looking at a few commercial setups recently just for interests sake. I cant quite figure out how the equipment is utilised. on page 45, am I correct in saying the largest stanless vessle is a combined MT (on top) , since the mash agitator motor is up there, and a lower HLT ? Or is it a single vessel set-up with no HLT and only a MT (top) and BK (bottom) , the chimney leads me to believe it could be the BK. Is it steam heated, and if so, can you manage the HLT(if thats what the lower vessle is) and MT temperatures independently? Apologies for all the questions, there's quite a gap between classic homebrew setups and the commercial gear. Beautiful piece of kit non the less. If there's a site with a description of commercial gear "layout", that would be great. Apologies for all the questions...
GoodDogShelby said:I love what you've done and am jealous on several levels. The one question that keeps popping in my head is what you are doing with all the beer you are making if you aren't selling it. I can not drink my beer as fast as I would like to brew it. Let me rephrase that, I can't drink it with getting so fat I'll have to buy new clothes.
This should be an indicator. I'm definitely not selling it and have peaked at 285lbs! I split batches with three other brewers, trade with others to maintain variety and have a penchant for brewing big beers that age nicely.

Thanks! No need for hating, just know that there is always a pint glass and plethora of fine beer on tap in Santa Clara for HBT and AHA members to enjoy!

Boar Beer said:Marc What did you use for Temp probes and low level switches
Marquez said:Have a great time! I will be missing it this year, after 3 years in a row. But will be there next year! BTW, here is a good summary page of GABF related events around town
Marquez said:Also nearby the Convention Center is The Keg Ran Out Club 19th Annual World Brewer's Forum Its a terrific event with a NHC Club Night vibe to it. A good bridge between the GABF and the night pub crawl.
