I know we've been pretty quiet lately. That is about to change. To give a bit of an update we've help grow Sierra Hops hop farm the last two years and has taken off fairly well except for the lack of water this past year. Brewing was pretty minimal due to other obligations. Its back to the basics while continueing to help Sierra Hops as they grow.

Well we fell into a stumbling block as our main refrigeration went down just as we are going into summer here. Plan on getting my frig guy out in the next week and get it back on board. Hopefully it doesn't cost an arm AND a leg.

We broke it in. Thanks to my assistants we ran a 1.113 English Barelywine to 15 gallons and did the partigyle ESB to finish the night off. We need to add lights to teh rig for the winter brew sessions. Expecting some fermentation bubbles before I hit the sack tonight. Cheers.

Opening night was a success. Pictures are on the way. I think we emptied 2 kegs and did some damage to the otheres. Time to brew of course. We trying out a old homebrewers (Charlie Papazian) special yeast strin on a Califorina Common recipe to go into the line up. We'll see if it says after the tasting.

We have remodeld the space and have reworked the brew system a bit by adding a .5 micron filter to it and working out the second pumps functionality. The control board is a work in progress as to how far we want to take the automation. We still want some hands on feeling to it. Cheers!
