First blog post in 3 months. Things have been going very well for us at brewLAB since our last post. We ran out of beer a few times in October/November, and we had to close the tasting room down for two weekends in a row so that we could stock up on inventory to avoid running out. Our 50 gallon system is up and running, and we are extremely pleased with how well it is working. On our 10 gallon system we were used to getting 65% efficiency on our brews; on our 50 gallon system we are getting 85-90% efficiency. Stoked. We have brewed 12 batches on it, and we no longer have to worry bout running out of beer. We are still brewing on our 10 gallon system as well, which helps keep the variety up and keeps all 11 of our taps flowing. We have also been running our new custom made keg washer, and so far we are very pleased with how it is working. If you are reading this, and you are looking to put together your own keg washer, feel free to contact us and we can help you do so for far less money than you would normally pay for a new or used one.
Now that we have a reliable stock of beer, our tasting room is able to be open 3 days a week with set hours. Hours are as follows:
Fridays - 4pm-9pm
Saturdays - 4pm-9pm
Sundays - 2pm-7pm
We have a couple friends who own a wood fired pizza catering company, and they have been coming and serving up pizzas on Friday nights, which has helped bring some people in. The name of their company is Fire and Wine Catering, and you can find more info at http://fireandwinecatering.com/. They will be out of town for the next couple of weeks, but then they will be back the week following that. In the next couple months we will be open on Thursdays as well.
