From “Nano-Brewer” to “Micro-Brewer”

This past weekend Joebob, the head brewer at Brew Practitioners in Florence Massachusetts, was able to do what many home brewers dream of. He was able to brew Barrels at a time instead of gallons at a time (yes, I know, a Barrel is 31 gallons ). What an experience. A little bit nerve racking brewing so much more beer at a time  but in many ways, it is a bit easier because the equipment is so much better. Pumps to move the water and the sweet wort, spray balls to assist in cleaning and a fancy control panel to ensure all temperatures are spot on. But probably the biggest difference that Joebob has noticed is the actual size of the equipment and how much easier things flow through a 1 ½ inch hose or pipe. Things move faster, things don’t get stuck, and your wort goes where you want it to when you want it to and at the correct temperature.

Head Brewer Joebob wanted to make sure to document this experience and not lose sight of a 12 year dream that has come true!!  Now, let get that beer fermented and into kegs so you all can come by and taste our “Labor of love”!
