April Brew Session

Chris Snyder and Cain Binning did their first all grain brewing at the April brew session on April 30th. The session was done at Cynthia and Cain's home in Monroe and they were very gracious hosts.

Chris and Cain have spent the last 3 months building this amazing brew system. Oh, by the way they have only brewed 4 times total and all have been extract batches but are now moving up to the All Grain process with a very top notch system. Everything went fairly well and they will be tweaking the system some before their next brew. Check out the pictures and when you see what a great day this was you will wish you had been there.


Chris putting spring water in the hot Liquior tank. Cain did hand him the water.	Chris checking things out after the dough in.

The temperature controllers for the system !	The control panel setup - amazing !

The pump, piping and Therminator chiller.	What a burner setup ! Automatic pilot and all.

Chris finishing up some last minute installation. He says everything must have Duct Tape so this was installed on the pump cover. Job well done Chris !	Mash in progress and everyone chilling out and having a good time. Many good homebrews were on hand for our tasting pleasure !

Last minute adjustments before the sparge !	The Boil has begun and almost a boilover in progress

Great snack foods were available. Thanks Cynthia you were great all day !	Cain ground the meat and made some of the finest cheeseburgers you could expect to have. They were great.

The Therminator now connected for the cool down process. There was 201 degree water entering and 70 degree water going to fermenter. This is an amazing piece of chiller equipment !	This was a ten gallon batch of German Hefe Weizen and is now in the carboy's and ready for the fermentation to begin. Was a fantastic brew session with an amazing brew system.
