Started working on the bar top this weekend. I got two huge and awesome wood slabs, approx 30"x12'x4". Spent all day saturday and sunday sanding them down, since I don't have a 30" wide plainer. (and really who does) One is pretty well poly'd now and looking good. Its starting to get exciting seeing it come together.
Got a delivery of 24 firkin 1/2 bbl kegs friday. I figure they'll be perfect for on-site cask storage. The firkin side port will allow for easy cleaning. We figured that storing our beer in kegs would be a more flexible option then using brite/serving tanks. By storing in kegs we can keep the beer closer to the tap and don't have to use a line chiller. There is also less waste because you don't waste all that beer in the line when the keg goes dry. And if in the future we want to start distributing then we are set.
Also,,, ( yes a lot has been going on)
I found the article in the Purcellville Gazette announcing that our Change of Use request will be considered at the upcoming town hall meeting in Lovettsville. So that's,,, exciting,, scary,,, anxious something like that. Lovettsville is charming little town that really fits our style. So lets hope things work out.
Getting a brewery or brewpub started is a lot of work. Here we'll detail just how much work. And we'll keep you all informed of events and specials.
