Subject: 55-gallon stainless steel drum brewery

Hi!

It's been a while since I've been here. After spending some time a pro
brewer, I've been itching to get back into home brewing and want to
build a new brewery based on 55-gal. stainless steel drums. My aim is
to build a fully automated, gas-fired brew house. Here's my
dilema--where to find the tanks? I've got one 55-gal drum thus far, but
I need more, and Craigslist & ebay have been only moderately helpful... 

Does anyone on this list have any knowlege of where the "waste-stream"
for these drums begins? I know they're out there, but I'm not finding
them. I've found some of the thinner ones, but I want the sturdy ones
with the removable lids and the rolled lips on the top of sidewalls. My
intention is to have everything welded for 1.5-in tri-clamp fittings
and hardpipe the entire system. 

Shipping these things is cost prohibitive. I now live in southern
Illinois and travel somewhat regularly to Atlanta, so I would be
willing to travel ~1-day's journey to surrounding states. 

Is there any interest in this topic? TIA.

Elizabethtown, IL

** APPLY NOW FOR FALCONER FOUNDATION BREWING SCHOLARSHIPS  -- STILL TIME
BUT DEADLINE IS 4/21 ** 

ABOUT THE BREWING SCHOLARSHIPS

In co-sponsorship with the Seibel Institute of Technology, the Glen Hay
Falconer Foundation is offering two full-tuition brewing education
scholarships in 2008.

One scholarship is for the World Brewing Academy Concise Course in
Brewing Technology held at the Siebel Institute in Chicago in
October/November 2008.  The Concise Course in Brewing Technology is a
two-week intensive program that covers every topic critical to
successful brewery operations. The program is designed for brewers
pursuing a wider knowledge of professional brewing standards and
techniques in order to advance their brewing careers as well as
individuals planning to enter the brewing industry.

The second scholarship allows candidates to apply for one of three
two-week modules from the International Diploma in Brewing Technology
Program held at Siebel's Chicago campus in September/October 2008.
This specialty brewing scholarship is intended for those brewers who
seek an in-depth understanding of a specific brewing discipline.
Candidates must designate which module they wish to attend.

The Concise Course scholarships are open to individuals planning on
entering the brewing industry and to professional brewers with no more
than two years of brewery work experience.  The specialty brewing
scholarship is open only to professional brewers.  Applicants must be
from the Pacific Northwest (including Alaska and Hawaii) and Northern
California regions (San Francisco Bay/Monterey Bay areas and north).
Each scholarship includes a $750 stipend to help offset travel and
lodging expenses.

For more details and information on how to apply, visit the Siebel
Institute website at www.siebelinstitute.com

ABOUT THE FALCONER FOUNDATION

The Glen Hay Falconer Foundation is a non-profit organization created to
commemorate and celebrate the life, interests, and good works of a
well-loved and leading Northwest brewer.

The Foundation's cornerstone event is the annual Sasquatch Brew Fest.
The fifth annual Sasquatch Brew Fest took place on Saturday, June 2,
2007 in downtown Eugene, Oregon.  Thousands enjoyed over 50 beers, live
music, great food, and a lively silent auction.

The Foundation also produces the Sasquatch BrewAm, a golf tournament
pairing all levels of golfers and beer lovers with celebrity brewers.
The fourth annual Sasquatch BrewAm will be held at McMenamins Edgefield
on July 25, 2008 concurrent with the Oregon Brewers Festival in
Portland, Oregon.  Don't miss the opportunity to play a fun-filled round
of golf with brewing luminaries.

ABOUT GLEN HAY FALCONER

Passion, dedication, and creativity defined Glen Falconer's beers and
his entire approach to life.

Glen began his brewing career as an avid homebrewer and dedicated member
of the Cascade Brewers Society, a clan of skilled homebrewers based in
the Eugene/Springfield, Oregon area. As a professional brewer, Glen
continued to support the craft of homebrewing by providing access to
brewing ingredients, procedures and unique beer recipes.

In 1990, Glen followed his dream and pursued a professional brewing
career, beginning at Steelhead Brewery in Eugene. Glen completed the
Siebel Concise Course in Brewing Technology in 1994. Glen then refined
his skills at the renowned Rogue Ales in Newport, Oregon, working
side-by-side with his close friend and mentor John Maier.

In 1996, Glen became head brewer at the Wild Duck Brewery in Eugene,
providing six regular beers on tap as well as a wide variety of
specialty ales and lagers each season. Glen continued as head brewer at
the Wild Duck until his untimely death in 2002.

Enlarging on the tradition of brewing, laughing heartily and embracing
adventure fully represented Glen's life. While Glen won numerous
professional craft brewing prizes and accolades, perhaps his finest
accomplishment was the back-to-back Gold Medals received posthumously
for his Auld Gnarly Head Barley Wine at the 2002 and 2003 Great American
Beer Festival.
