Two Heroes Public House

Monday this week meant we were receiving our pilot system and chiller.  We had the tractor available to move the items off trucks and over to the garage door.  Getting the items into the building was another story and took some thinking.   At the end of the day we were able to get the brew system inside on a dolly, then when in place, we put the castors on.  Daren has spent many hours cleaning, investigating and ultimately learning all the components of the system. The chiller came in two parts, the outside condensing unit and the tank and pump on a pallet.  The tank and pump will live on top of our walk in cooler while the condensing unit will be installed outside on a stand.  This glycol system will be enough to handle all the vessels in our small brewery as well as the walk in cooler.

This equipment was orignally purchased to be included in the final brew pub location. However, some of these pieces will fit and be usable in our pilot location in the mean time.  We spent half the day yesterday moving six pieces from our covered storage location on South Street to the brewery space. Fred (Matt's Brother) was super helpful with tractor and trailer to help move the vessels from A to B. With stainless vessels also comes lots and lots of hardware. Daren has been busy planning plumbing drawings and inventory mock ups of all the hardware we might need to get the wa...
