When the beer tells you it’s clear for landing, aka kegging.. you listen!

Hefeweizen going into the fermenter! Once brewing is done, wort is cooled, beer is transferred into the fermenter, and the yeast is pitched. Now the cleaning starts!

Love that the new counterflow chiller is working as expected! Nice upgrade from the plate chiller. Got it dialed down to get 15 gallons of boiling wort to 70 degrees in the fermenter in 20 minutes!

The ol’ keg junk yard, every brewer has it too, right? From spare parts to possibly fixing that old gal to be new again. Parts items are a must, it has potential!

If I can do this professionally I would in a heartbeat. Not only the beer aspect of it, but all the great smells that go into making a great beer. From the mash, brewing, and the hops!

After a long week, you’re here on your phone relaxing while these fermenters are being put to work making beer, for you! But, soon enough you’ll be able to enjoy each other pint in hand!

Badass weekend at the ! Thanks to and for throwing this awesome fest again this year! Great seeing new and familiar faces to the fest as well as making great connections, until next year!

It’s a process. Some processes are challenging. Even if you have to do some DIY s**t, it gets done correctly. In the end, when the beer is done, transferred to either a keg, bottle, or can. Pouring a refreshing cold beer and taking that first sip makes it all worth it in the end!

Keg transfer went great! Luckily, it was the very end of the last keg when the silicone fitting came undone causing trub and yeast to cover everything. Cheers!

Mango Kolsch got the gassy treatment today. Carbonating it before going into kegs. Little bubbles on the way!
30/04/2023
Finally getting this Mango Kolsch to its finishing stages! Trub dump and now clearing stage. Besides this bad boy, the blackberry Witbier in the other fermenter is also getting ready for kegs soon, stay tuned!

When the starter gets going and there’s no holding back and then you remember.. everything reminds you of her! 🍻 😂 growing a healthy abundance of yeast cells for this new batch!
Clean stainless brings a sparkle to a brewers eye! Some CIP action going on before filling!

Cooler nights with the windows open means fall is here! Brewed up a wheat ale with honey and fresh lemon zest called “Some of This, Some of That”! This was BSBC’s first beer years ago and it still holds as a fan favorite! Stay tuned!

Morning mash and filling the garage with the sweet smell of brewing.
~~>Temperature control- important in the mashing process, brewing, hop additions, and fermentation. The part in the mashing process let’s you activate alpha and beta enzymes at different temps. Higher the mash temp; the more non-fermentable long sugar chains are left over. Lower mash temps; produce shorter sugar chains which leaves you with a wort with more fermentable sugars!

From fermenter to kegs we go!

>< Well it happened boys and gals, the stuck mash….. was in a bit of a rush at the time and stirred the grain too much.. causing this piece of sh/t false bottom to come off the bottom. When we went to sparge it was a no go. Twisted at its finest…. Grain was wasted that day.. it was a bad day for all. RIP.. BUT, brewed right after to make it up.
27/08/2022
Weighting out different grains for the next beer being brewed. Step back - Makes you think that these buckets use to ferment the beer in the past and how we now have those conical fermenters, progress!
20/08/2022
It’s always a good day when you’re filling cans with fresh beer! Deep Secrets up for grabs!

Clean equipment makes gooder beer. Mama always said to clean your brewing equipment, and to not hang out with those who don’t.
That “Froot Loop” IPA is fermenting nicely! Bringing out those fruit notes with the Azacca, Amarillo, Galaxy, Lemondrop, and Centennial hops!
