Well let's see, need to get a bunch of things done....

- level the tanks (anyone have a level?)
- scrub the tanks and floors
- slide tanks into final resting place
- build the brewer's hose / put on nipple clamps :lol:
- cut/install floor grates

I went to RB today to help Greg Nash setup his new fermenters. This is how he treates the un-payed help.

Good to meet Liam and Phlipie.

I can just hear the unpolite references to body parts that will now be ASSociated with your RockBOTTOM beers...

So how far off are you from a beer being on tap, Greg?

Looking forward to the launching.
What about: Nash Oil IPA.
I'm liking that?
Or: Nash Resin IPA?
Either would be swell ;)

Another thought is what about moving some of those beer to the taps upstairs and do a nice wheat or light and play the the "Fathers Moustache" thing? Brand it with the nice milk Moustache except the wicked wheat beer Moustach? Fathers Moustache Wheat Beer. Marketing and posters could be sweet.

My understanding is that the beers will be available on tap upstairs too, unless I misheard or the plan changed. I certainly had a chuckle at your idea though - might be a fun path to go down.
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.

Another type of beer to consider - I love a good bitter, and I know quite a few people who have started drinking good beer because of propeller and pumphouse bitter. too late for a launch beer, of course, but something to consider!
planning: beer for my cousin's wedding
Fermenting: black ipa

Kegged: barrel barleywine from 2014 - i think i still have this somewhere

Yeah I might brew a bitter one day but not right away.

At this point it looks like I might be brewing double IPA on Sat if you want wort :cheers2:
