Brew Magic Logo & Lables

It has been some time since my last update. The Brew Magic brew system is in the brewery and ready to go, I spent last weekend cleaning and running temp test and all was perfect. Today we got a brand new chest freezer which will be our fermenter for all of our ale's. Just waiting for a digtal temp control which will be in my hands tommrrow. Julian a local artists from Indiana will be working on the logo and lable artwork for 18th Street Brewery, we should have a draft in the coming weeks for you to review. His art work will be used for our t-shirts and glassware, I cant wait to see what he comes up with.

Surety Bond

With a little hard work and a great State Farm agent we got our Surety Bond. We didn't want to have to come up with $1k up front cash to send to the Feds. Dec 20th we will take delivery of the brewing system, which is great and gives me a few more weeks to keep moving ahead on other projects.

All Done

We where up at 6 a.m. this morning to complete the siding on the brewery. And I want to say it's was all the with my 2 hands. It took a little bit longer then I wanted, but we wanted it to look as perfect as possible. The ddetails where very important to me because we will have tasting at the brewery and wanted to make sure the building was a showcase to our work inside and out.

After meeting with the CFO of 18th Street Brewery today to talk about the decor for the inside of the brewery we decided to hold off putting up drywall, it's not being cheap or taking a short cut. We both like the raw look of the brew house, so we will put money into some fun decor ideas for the tasting area. There is still much more to do in the next coming months, but my focus has been and will be on recipe for our flagship beer's, networking with other brewery's & building a team to help me run the day to day of the brewery.

Ladders up to complete the details
