For all my kegerator building buddies out there… I whipped up a little video for a friend realizing it is probably faster and easier to explain it than my words. So this is how you face and then secure a tap handle.

Posted by diesel on 08 Jul 2010 | Tagged as: brewery tours, images, links, siebel, video
As part of the Siebel course we went on a tour of Goose Island’s production facility, which operates 24/7/365. It’s an awesome operation, it looked like a lot of fun to work there, all the people were really cool. They let us take pictures, so check out the gallery linked below.

They were great hosts. Their barrel-aging program produces some amazing beers. We were fortunate to get a taste of a very rare, never released beer that took a Silver at GABF that year: Red Woody. If you’re ever in Chicago I recommend checking out their original brewpub location. It’s across the street from Siebel Institute near the Clybourn & North stop on the red line.

A bad ass looking centrifuge:
And of course a room that probably resembles heaven:
My boy Tim, in addition to some ridiculous red eye in this photo, has a sick 5-gallon system on which he conducts various brewing experiments. Check out more of the photos in the gallery.

In retrospect, I should have named this beer Double Nickels.

I was cleaning out the videos from my cell phone and found this old brew lying around. That’s a 7.5 gallon kettle with 6+ gallons of homebrew wort boiling on my apartment stove.

Brewers know these krausens come in all shapes and behaviors, but this yeast strain made a particularly attractive foamy head.
