Sometimes it is what could be perceived as being the most boring purchase ever that genuinely makes me very excited. Today we ordered a new cask washer, 45 ish firkins an hour,bliss.
Last week was, in retrospect, character building, but at the time, pretty annoying. Arrived at the brewery on Monday to a large amount of water on the floor, at first figured a tap was leaking somewhere, then realized that the sight tube on the HLT was weeping, a lot.
