What has Greg done!?

Sandy

Pulled the beer that is not up to his standards, no matter what the reason or cost. You can't get your reputation back, just ask {insert your diva here}.

[mr x]

May stop in for a beer or two in 45min.

[LeafMan66_67]

Love to join you, but am in Sackville ... and have to work.

[mr x]

Killed the Citra. Actually, sent it back before it killed me.....

[NASH]

The glycol chiller died today! Probably at least a 20 - 30 k replacement cost and there's none sitting around in stores with the proper specs so it's going to be a few weeks at least

[mr x]

Are you fucking kidding? No way....o_0

[Jimmy]

Shitty news. Terrible time of the year for it to happen.

[GAM]

will Messie be OK.

Sandy

[NASH]

Messie is good for now, I planned to hold it at ambient for two weeks for the dry-hop regime which just started. Another 2 or 3 weeks won't hurt since I can spat the hops out the conical so hopefully they will have it resolved by then

[benwedge]

This is terrible news. Hopefully it's fixed before the summer is ruined.

[KMcK]

Lay some pipe into the harbour and pump the wort through that to chill it.

[Jayme]

That's crazy - one would think an industrial piece of equipment like that could be repaired - or is the repair cost more than buying a new one (or so close that it just makes more sense)?

[chalmers]

Sorry for my ignorance: this just means a pause in the brewing schedule, and not that the current H&T beer on tap are not being served, right?

If that were the case, an army of Brewnosers would be down there tonight to fix it, one way or another.

[Jayme]

I'm not sure, but I kind of thought the beer lines and serving tanks were glycol chilled also - unless there are two separate chillers?

[NASH]

It means nothing gets cooled in the serving tanks as well. Citra SMaSH sold out Monday evening and I kegged off the remaining 100 L of Raging Smack to pour through one of the other taps until it's gone

[BenFrank]

Buddy of mine just called me to see if I wanted to have a patio bite and beers...

I was like YES! - Let's go to the Hart & Thistle!

I've never been there and I hear they've got great craft brew on tap...

So I logged into Brewnosers to see what you guys will be serving and I read the message above...

Man am I heart broken... so much sun outside, do I go to Rockbottom for some custom brews or suck it up and enjoy the patio...

decisions decisions...

[Jimmy]

Rockbottom

[GAM]

I think Rogues has a patio.

Do you mean Henery house? That is a cold patio after 5:00.

Sandy

[NASH]

The H&T deck is pretty cool after 4 or so on days like these too.

Overall the situation sucks! DME is on a mission trying to find a chiller sitting on a shelf but no luck as yet, looks like we're going to be down for a while waiting to have one built from scratch. If that is the case I will either gear up a couple cold water baths to save the beers in process or keg it all off and carb via head pressure then serve
