Reggae, Beastie Boys, Everlast are the norm. Sometimes some Deadbolt, but that usually is reserved for a Black IPA session.

Be year's end there will be 5 or 6 breweries within a couple of miles from us in Temecula. Should be great!

We are getting closer. We received approval for our Tasting Room from the city and just got our floors in. The framing has started for the new walls and all the plumbing, electrical and HVAC is about to start up again. Boiler, chiller and glycol should be going in soon too. We also added 4...

I have used the Home Depot Valves on my whirlpool vessel for a long time. I bought them with a gift card. I always meant to change them over to stainless like the rest of my vessels, but never did. I had no trouble with leaks or temperatures from boiling down to near freezing. I would do the...

First brew day done. 1bbl of our Plateau XPA and Descent Black IPA. Tomorrow more Plateau XPA and our Avocado Honey Wheat.

Mission is good to hit up along with Coronado, its close. Great tasting room. Stone, Lost Abbey(Pizza Port), IronFist, Mother Earth are close to each other. Ballast Point, AleSmith, Green Flash, Hess, and a couple others are close to each other. A good day is lunch at Coronado, then...

We are going with 2 5500w element in the kettle and the HLT. My uncle is building the controls so Im not exactly sure. I should see it today and will post back.

A quick update: Got our Federal and State licensing all done, so we are legal and official! Building and CUP permits are in the works and we hope to get our pilot system operating this weekend. The 7bbl system is still a few months from being installed though. Our pilot system is a 1bbl...

I use these on my system with the natural gas conversion it. Works well on propane too and not having the roar of a high pressure burner is really nice. http://www.brewmasterswarehouse.com/product/0102184/hurricane-burner-63-5165...

Got the demo just about wrapped up this week. Next week we go to the State and hopefully soon we get our building permit so we can start construction. First up is floor drains.

I have the same burners on natural gas. I have: orifice/valve on the burner <-> yellow flex <-> gas valve It works fine and I guess you can adjust at the gas valve, but I always use the one on the burner. Never has gotten to hot for me to use.

They work great, been using one for a year or two now. The fan part of it really is the key. Just make sure you use one with the safety switch on the bottom in case it tips over in there.

It is a good thing! Not sure we had any brewers back through the family tree, but my grnadfather work at a hop farm for a while. You can also rearrange the letters and spell 'wines', but that is not nearly as cool as if it could spell beer or ale...

Yes, that is our family Winery. Great to hear that you had great time. Much of my family works there and I am sure you spoke with some of them. The facility is fantastic. Once we are making beer, it will be part of the Weddings and other events. We are going to be having Brewing Bachelor...

I will keep this updated as things progress. I too really have enjoyed reading others threads like this.

Have a minute for a quick reply, can expand later though. I started homebrewing about 1994 and immediately loved it. Brewing continued for a few years and then got put on the back burner when I bought my first house. I should have pursued it then and went to school for it like my uncle did(he...

We have a 7bbl brewhouse, 4 7bbl fermenters, and 2 7bbl brite tanks. We will probably need to upgrade within a year if things go as planned.

Chinook and Columbus in even amounts all the way through the additions. More is better too. Thats my favorite way.

We are finally under way on our road to being pro. We have been working on this for a long time and now things are finally moving along and we are able to talk about it publicly. Our Facebook page(Wiens Brewing Company | Facebook) is up and we have filed our TTB paperwork. Demolition has started...
