Hello All,
Well, since the last blog post was back in February, its
time for and update!
As close friends of the brewery already know, I have finally
made the move down from Chicago!
Since then it has been quite busy. The first week consisted
of me attending Boiler School over at Allied Boiler in Murfreesboro. Dave and
his crew at Allied put on an awesome class that taught safe and proper
operation of boilers. During the class I got an opportunity to get acquainted
with Mayday’s boiler, which is pictured below.
After boiler school my attention has been focused on the
Mayday brews. We have been working
with a couple companies getting quotes for hops and malt. The unfortunate part about starting a
brewery this late in the year is all the hop contracts for 2012 are done,
meaning there aren’t many hops available. Another one of the many small hurdles to overcome when
starting a brewery.
Next up: Hot Chicken and Jorts III.
Our good friends at Jubilee Beer will be putting on their 3rd
annual Hot Chicken and Jorts, This party is sure to be a blast! You can
guarantee the Mayday crew will be there decked out in our full red neck
regalia. For more info on the
party check out Jubilee’s Face book page:
Finally, some minor work has been going on in the building.
Hopefully the major work will start by the end of next week!
Our equipment from DME is coming along nicely and is scheduled
for delivery on September 13th! And let me tell ya, this system is
going to be SWEET! Pics of the equipment progress and other Mayday news can be found on our Mayday face
book page. Check it out!

Any who, there is a lot going on for Mayday and a lot more
to come in the very near future! Stay tuned! It is sure to be a good time!
Cheers!
