I just heard that Michael Jackson passed away yesterday at his home. He was the original, true beer advocate and an absolute top-notch beer writer. David and I only got to meet him once at GABF in 2000. He did come by Palmetto many years ago as well. If you’ve never seen the “Beer Hunter” go rent it now (it’s only vhs to my knowledge- always wanted them to redo it to DVD).
We raise a pint to Michael Jackson!
Every day we get just a little bit closer to brewing! It sure seems like a long time but really, it’s not so bad. For 2 people who have kept their full time day jobs and have gotten the brewery together on their own (besides a boiler guy and walk-in cooler guy), 6 months is nothin’ short of a miracle. The boiler is being finished, walk-in will be done by this weekend, the brewhouse is plumbed and ready to be tested.I’m still painting away- a job with no end in sight. Still no mill or keg washer yet though….Looks like next weekend will be our first brew ever and I sure hope nothing goes wrong. I am not looking forward to bringing all the kegs to Palmetto to be washed and all the grain to be milled. If anyone has any leads on a keg washer or mill, PLEASE contact me.
