In our production space we need a cold room for a few reason--to carbonated our beverage, crash cool yeast, hold product before the distributor picks it up, and more generally, store yeast, nutrient, etc. Since walk-in freezers are expensive, we decided to take on the endeavor ourselves (bootstrapping). The ingredients for this cold room include leftover hardwood print linoleum, tile print linoleum, Blue Board insulation, Tuff-R insulation board, salvaged board from the Manter’s barn, half of the door to the old cold storage room in the Manter’s barn, and a lot of advice from a local contractor, Ray Breton. We ended up getting it all put together and now all we need is a door and an A/C unit… small stuff.
Our second project was getting our tanks from one room to the other. We did this with bruit strength and ignorance--we don’t have a lot of bruit strength between the three of us, but we make up for it in ignorance. Anyways, we managed to get the tanks down onto two dollies, wheel them into the next room, and stand them up again without any issues. All and all we had a nice little weekend of projects.
Happy Thanksgiving
