Well our system collaboration has now turned into a business venture. Andy and I are going to try and open a commercial nanobrewery with no debt and no investors. A feat that is difficult but will hopefully become profitable.
We've brewed on the new system once so far. Basically we just took the last ingredients we had on hand and made a hodgepodge beer that we affectionately named StupidBrew. We'll be ordering a bunch of ingredients soon to start some test batches of our flagship ales. Only problem we are currently encountering is our ability to screen out hops. I am almost done constructing a new hop screen that should work better. I'll take some photos soon and post them.
Below are some pictures of how things have progressed. Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures of the process. These pictures and more updates can be seen at our
facebook page.
