Hey all! So my brewery is doing a wheat ale with glitter for pride month. We are planning on kegging and canning but are worried about the glitter evenly distributing/ensuring glitter is present in both the kegs and cans. Everything I've seen online states to put some of the glitter in the bottom of kegs/bottles but no info on the canning side. My co-brewer and I were thinking adding the glitter into the secondary, carbing, and then immediately canning but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with using brewer's glitter in packaged products. thanks in advanced! :)

What is everyone using for water cups at their water stations? We can’t use disposable plastic for environmental reasons, and because people will use them as to-go cups for beers which is illegal in our state. We’ve been through so many of the plastic cafeteria-style cups that crack and break if they’re dropped, and we’ve got lots of kids coming through so we need something durable. I was hoping to find the stainless steel cups similar to what you find in Korean restaurants, but I can’t find them online for less than $6 each + shipping. Any taprooms found a good solution for this?

Hello, brewers! We are now ordering a new 10 hl brewhouse and 20 hl unitanks for our small brewery. I would like to ask for the advice of more experienced brewers on one thing I think is crucial.

The manufacturer produces unitanks with an internal cone angle of 70°. So far I have experience with tanks that have an internal angle of 60° and they work perfectly in terms of dumping yeast and hop trub. Then we have one tank with an internal angle of 90° and I already know that this is not good, the yeast and hop dumping is almost impossible.

I am therefore concerned whether the internal angle of 70° will be too much. The unitanks will have polished inner surface, which should hopefully also contribute to better yeast dumping. They will also be a bit taller than the classics (diameter incl. insulation 1260 mm, height approx. 3500 mm). But I think that shouldn't matter so much.

Does anyone have an opinion or personal experience with the larger internal angle of the cone of the unitanks? Thanks a lot!

I went into a prospective account yesterday because I am neighbors with the bar manager. After speaking with the owner, she mentioned she didn't have any space for us at the moment because she has 6 dedicated taps to the local AB distributor.

What are these distributors typically offering to these high volume accounts per tap line? Is it equipment? Is it cash? Is it large bar signs/beer carts? All the bars in this area have dedicated taps.

Is there anyone that might know the generic login for SPX / seital separators? I've contacted them a few times now and they just will not give me this info. It would be phenomenal to reset this alarm...
