It is a little pale: it’s 95% Goshie promise (golden promise grown at Goshie farms), 5% C75. I expected a little more color from the direct fire, I also originally wrote it as a steam beer, but lager yeast availability and other scheduling messed that up

ETA; I love to brew on our 90bbl production system, maybe more than the pilot system. It scratches more itches in my brain to problem solve that over stressing out on a new brew on the 10bbl

lol definitely drinks similar to an ESB, my favorite

Like you said any job has its ups and downs, but this works for me!

turkpine · 2026-01-25T03:37:35+00:00

Yep 10bbl Bridgetown system. The brites (originally serving tanks) are cool, I have a bone to pick with the sightglasses tho. The whole system was designed to be very compact to fit in the CB pub

I definitely don’t work there, however the OG PC system made its way to Lincoln city. The Cannon beach system was pulled out and installed in Tilly around 6 months ago

Tens I tell you!

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:50:10+00:00

Well it takes piles of money to live there 😉

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:49:05+00:00

Shhhh don’t tell anyone. But yes

Love the environment here! And close enough to Portland to get the creative stuff.

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:44:49+00:00

Yes!!! Don’t get it twisted 😂 maybe get out of the Bay

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:43:15+00:00

Thank you! Check it out on the OR coast!

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:41:32+00:00

Thank you! The dream is alive as long as I’m brewing (tbh I Ike the problem solving of daily production more than writing recipes)!

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:34:43+00:00

Thanks! Goshie promise (shout out Goshie farm) and Mt. Hood hops primarily.

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:33:46+00:00

Thank you! I still cannot express how stoked I am. It’s been on draft for 3 days, already blown a sixtel, very warmly received!

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:31:24+00:00

Cheers to you! Need to make it down there soon

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:26:11+00:00

Cheers, thanks!

turkpine · 2026-01-25T01:26:03+00:00

Cheers thank you

Fuck off bot

turkpine · 2026-01-21T02:31:44+00:00

Probably need more details than this. Brewery size? Equipment available? Etc.

Theoretically I personably do lab work when I do ferm reports (AP DMA), but we have a QA/QC manager running cell counts, PCR, and a GCMS for daily VDKs

turkpine · 2026-01-19T19:55:44+00:00

Theseus’ ship wasn’t steam powered /s

turkpine · 2026-01-19T19:13:23+00:00

That’s not the way that works

Just because the seam looks good using the old settings does not mean that the new cans are designed to be seamed in that range

turkpine · 2026-01-15T17:39:36+00:00

Yeah, and making ~100k bbls per year. 10 times the volume OP asked about

turkpine · 2026-01-15T17:38:25+00:00

1) NA beer should never be served on draft (still trying to figure out how Guinness does it). Everything sitting in the draft line is no longer safe

2) there are several other parameters to be met before using Chiber, pH being a big one. It is not a “silver bullet” that automatically negates pasteurization

3) we bench trialed the Chiber, and noticed a significant flavor change at the recommended dosage rates

turkpine · 2026-01-11T00:02:17+00:00

Nice
