So this weekend was a busy weekend for the BK BREWERY. On Friday the biggest beer to date was brewed, the BK BELGIAN TRIPPEL. Everything went super smooth for this brew and the brew system is starting to work like a well oiled machine. Also on last Tuesday i (along with the help of a friend for the circuit board) finally finished my homemade magnetic stir plate, pictures coming soon. this was used to create the yeast starter for the Belgian trippel. On Saturday the BK BREWERY posted an ad on craigslist selling one of the 50 lb co2 cylinders i had bought. I purchased two 50lb co2 cylinders and an older regulator for $100, then sold one 50 lb co2 cylinder (the crappier looking one) and the regulator for $120 so i got a 50 lb aluminum co2 cylinder for free plus 20 bucks! Then on Sunday the BK BREWERY invested in its future by buying a 15.5 gallons stainless steel keg for $40 that it plans to convert into a brew kettle. This gives the BK BREWERY the ability to produce 15 gallon batches of each brew. Most likely BK BREWERY would only produce 5-10 gallon batches but versatility is always coveted. now to figure out how to clean up the keg and cut the top off and add spigots and thermometers, and stuff. ANOTHER project for the BK BREWERY........
Till next time..................
