Equipment Used at the Brewery
Below is a simple list of what we use...
Or Check out our Brew Deck or Brew Tower
- Fish Fryer ( A must to brew outside or 5 gallon batches. It sure speeds up boiling time.)
- Two propane tanks (an extra was added this season to prevent running out. Not a good thing to happen on a Sunday afternoon.)
- Two old 5 gallon water igloos. One for the separate water and one to mash in.
- Separate arm and hose.
- Drain hose from mash igloo to pot.
- 7 gallon stainless steel pot (get the biggest pot you can to help with boil overs)
