Heave, ho! New 10-barrel tank, here we go!

So, my one job for this morning was to stay out of the way and get some pictures and video...
​
With Zeke and his telehandler in the lead, the guys got the tank up and over the front steps, across the taproom, and into the brewery. Then, we all puzzled over the equipment, the angles, the scaffolding, and the obstacles. The tank was too tall. The scaffolding was too wide. We were ready to call it off, change the setup, and try again a different day.

Then, someone suggested that they see if they could simply pick it up themselves without the hoist. Did we have enough brawn? Sure enough! They jacked one end up, got in position, grunted, pushed, lifted, and soon had it standing up.

It was amazing to watch! Unfortunately, you'll have to take my word for it, because when I looked down, I realized I had never hit record on my phone... (Is there someone out there who wants to take over photo and video duties next time? Seriously, I failed!)
​
A HUGE thank you to Steve, Jeremy, Zeke, Ryan, Chris, Gerry, Chip, Chad, and Richard for NOT DROPPING this new fermentation tank! Thank you, RBP Construction and Seifer Construction. A HUGE thank you to all of our customers for supporting us and making this expansion possible!
