Beer Church is a group of beer (and a bit of wine) aficionados at Pumping Station: One. Originally a beer tasting and science discussion group, lately Beer Church has been focusing more and more on brewing. Brewing Station: One is the small work area and storage facility in the shop devoted to brewing.
Events
Semi-biweekly Beer Church gatherings take place some Sundays at noon. They generally follow a format of meet & greet, pot luck beer tasting, and discussion of beer, life, and everything.
Brewing Station: One
Brewing Station: One is a steel shelving unit converted (well, being converted) into a storage unit for keeping clean brewing gear (pots, carboys, bottles, bottling equipment, corks, wort chillers, kegs, etc) and a temperature controlled fermenting chamber. We expect to boil in the alley or by the rear entry.
Equipment
- 5gal boiling kettle (Eric Stein)
- Hydrometer (Eric Stein)
- Corker (Evan)
- Wine bottles (Evan)
- Wine Carboy (Evan)
- 2 Keggles (Pumping Station: One equipment)
- Wort Chiller Coil (Ryan Pierce)
This list is incomplete. Please update this page!
Equipment Needed
- Autosiphon?
- Temperature Control System (to be built by Eric Stein, raspberry pi + gpio temperature monitoring + relay system for chiller)
- Burner (Ryan Pierce might be able to provide)
- Siphon hosing
- Electronically sample-able continuous hydrometry system (Steve has an idea, dun dun dun)
- http://ipb.trainerfamily.net/pagesmith/2 beer sculpture - maybe.
- honeywell "glowfly" + http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-4-Electric-Solenoid-Valve-12-volt-DC-VITON-SEAL-B21V-/300600605047?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fd313977#ht_2101wt_728 propane burner control for mash tun control
Pending Equipment
- Mini Fridge for temperature control (ETA Aug 22, Anthony Barker)
- Bottle capper (Ryan Pierce)
- CO2 tank and Cornelius keg dispenser system (Ryan Pierce)
Resources
