A new home for the homebrew
This is an entry from Fullsteam brewer Chris Davis, aka 32. Look for more posts from 32 in the days, months, and years ahead.
This is the first step in a long career ahead.
Earlier this week, I moved my hand-built homebrew-turned-pilot-system over to Fullsteam’s building. I’ve been watching the build-out of the brewery and tavern come along, but it’s never hit me like moving this system has. This is for real!
Last week, Brooks came by to help brew what is now my last homebrew on that rig, a 12-gallon batch of one of my favorites of all our offerings: Fullsteam, a recipe I’ve been working on and tinkering with for years. A recipe that came back from a competition with notes saying it needed more Northern Brewer hops (but but but, it is nothing BUT Northern Brewer! Oh well). A recipe that ultimately helped land me a spot on Team Fullsteam. Moving this little system is huge.
Hello homebrewers, pro brewers, and Fullsteam fans! By now you’ve surely witnessed Sean’s build out photos and posts (you can’t miss them, Sean’s marketing even reaches into your dreams at night!). Well, I look forward to giving you the brewing side of Fullsteam. I’ll be updating as often as I can with pictures and stories.
The homebrew in its new home
Nice set-up!
I use something very similar for homebrewing though with a cooler for my hot liquor tank instead of a direct-fired keg.
It’s always great to see where the “big boys” start. I hope to be there someday.
This is fantastic! So cool to see the vision become a reality.
