Cert...What sort of barrel and what type of beer? <br /><br />Certainly a great group activity if you've got the space, time, and confidence in your fellow brewers.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-81118564664086404552010-03-23T13:11:37.128-04:002010-03-23T13:11:37.128-04:00Very cool - these string of posts is serving as gr...Very cool - these string of posts is serving as great inspiration as our Club prepares for its first barrel brew.<br /><br />Looking forward to further updates...<br /><br />-JWJWhttp://www.lugwrenchbrewing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-72821796339268781792010-03-23T10:26:28.812-04:002010-03-23T10:26:28.812-04:00Certainly considering a new system now that I have...Certainly considering a new system now that I have the space. It seems like the price difference when it comes to doubling the size of a system is pretty minor compared to the initial investment. <br /><br />I'm just not sure if I really want to deal with all of the "stuff" that goes into brewing bigger batches (pumps, huge starters, big fermenters etc...).The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-30358323611544265842010-03-23T10:17:25.072-04:002010-03-23T10:17:25.072-04:00"Being able to fill a barrel on short notice ..."Being able to fill a barrel on short notice would be one of the biggest advantages of having a larger scale brewing system."<br /><br />--when are you going to break down and get a larger scale brewhouse together? aside from being able to fill a barrel on your own in one day, I can see you really stepping up the experiments, say splitting a 1/2 bbl batch to 3 separate ~5 gallon ferments, doing more blending, etc.<br /><br />then you can use the system as your pilot/test batch system when you finally open your 'real' brewery.JC Tetreaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719857026935630639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-10732583420124691982010-03-22T22:26:32.377-04:002010-03-22T22:26:32.377-04:00A whole range of bottle types, but mostly just pla...A whole range of bottle types, but mostly just plain old 12 oz'ers.
