Building the New - After the Floor

It took several weeks for the floor to cure to a point where protective blankets could be removed and someone could actually walk on it.

In the top image, the camera in in the location where Bob and Andy are standing in the second image.

The stacks of extra kegs patiently waiting for Pat's magic brew in the third picture can be seen peeking above the water tank in the first image.

 





The large tanks that were removed from the old Brewery on Redmond Mash Tun in the top image. The Mash Tun and Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) are built into a single unit with the HLT on the bottom. This is commonly called a "Combi" in the industry.

 

The Mash Tun from another angle is in the second image.

 

The wort kettle is on the left in the third image. The third image also shows one of several of the two story fermentation tanks that will be used in B2. That is the Mash Tun in the middle.





In the first image, Brian is laboriously cutting some special metal channel to go around over half of the perimeter of the building, to hang pipes and wiring from.

The second image shows Brian giving a couple of the neighbors a private tour. They couldn't seem to wait until this summer when the brews will start flowing out of here.

In the third image, I stumbled across the perfect label for a fermentation tank in a facility officially known as 'B2.'
