Nowadays you'd just jacket the stainless and be done wi' it – but that requires an active cooling loop, sounds like the whole house was passively cooled. All terribly low-carbon.<br /><br />Interesting to see mention of head difference. I get the impression no one builds breweries tall anymore, and when they do it's just to put in taller conicals. Contrast that with all the gravity assist in the various stages here – relatively short, flat tanks on multiple stories.J-W Maessenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577860012705910561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-89633872353402803092016-03-29T12:38:48.253-07:002016-03-29T12:38:48.253-07:00Maybe if I mixed Extra Stout with Foreign Extra St...Maybe if I mixed Extra Stout with Foreign Extra Stout?
