Our brewhouse began as a simple 10 gallon brew kettle and 6 gallon plastic fermenter that we used to produce our first extract brews. We've since switched to all-grain brewing and started with two 10 gallon coolers to serve as our Mash/Lauter tun (MLT) and Hot Liquor Tank (HLT). We recently took receipt of our new HLT, a 20 gallon stainless steel kettle from Spike Brewing. With this new addition, we are able to begin upgrading to a Heat Exchange Recirculating Mash System (HERMS).

As we learn more about brewing all-grain, our equipment will be upgraded with the ultimate goal of producing half barrel (15.5 gallons) brews.

We currently brew wherever we can find space, but that will be changing in the near future with the addition of a dedicated brewhouse.

Our current brew cart set up.
Our original, and current, brew pot in its unmodified state.
Our first fermentor was a standard 6 gallon bucket with 3-piece airlock. We brewed our first extract beer in this set back in 2012, a Shiner Bock clone recipe kit from DeFalco's in Houston, TX.
