Well canning is underway at Archibald. As we are still getting used to the new equipment, we keep running into more and more problems, but we learn with each hurdle. We have about four palates made so far and the delivery date is approaching fast. Today we were supposed to make three more palates but we ran into another problem, our walk-in freezer where we keep the beer right before canning stopped freezing. The boss called at 7:00 am to tell me not to come in because the freezer was at 38 degrees. The cold really helps the beer in keeping its co2 while making its way down the lines to the canning machine and it helps as well when the beer enters the can. Anyway, the day was canceled until the freezer gets fixed.
We have been working non-stop trying to meet the delivery date, so writing here has become a little mor difficult than before, but I will try to keep up. One problem that we have run into is that we can`t keep up with consumption at the brewery. We normally have 11 beers on tap all the time but because of the cans, we are down by 3 kinds and there are 2 others that from time to time, we run out. We just don`t have the time nor the space to make all of the beers. What really gets annoying is everyday the waiters ask me when they will be coming out and I keep repeating the same thing : when we get around to making them. One day, we will get caught up.
Well, until next time beer lover
Cheers
Dan
