Brewing Equipment

A couple months ago, I was contacted by a guy in San Diego that had been collecting brewing equipment for his own brewery.  His project had to go in a different direction, so he contacted me to check out his brewing equipment.  I did.

Fast forward two months and we have the deposit on the equipment.  We'll be moving it from San Diego to our new home in Santa Ana in May.  The system is going to need some serious tender, loving, care, but this thing has some great bones and was made in the United States of America.  JV Northwest, the manufacturer is one of the most respected names in the business, too.  The brewhouse was built in the mid-90's and used in a brewpub for several years.

Here are some photos of the JV Northwest 15 barrel brewhouse and four 15 barrel conical fermenters.
