Quartermaster Update
Clint: Plan I put forward would be to get rid of the trailer, get a storage unit to house the equipment, replace the 10 tap tower with a pair of 5-6 tap jockey boxes. Various upgrades to jockey boxes we have, maybe include a cleaning kit with them & add a regulator.
• Bob: why decommission the 10 tap tower?
• Clint: only used twice a year, difficult to move & maintain. Jockey boxes would be easier to move & use. Can use parts from 10 tap tower to make them. The chiller plates are for 6 taps, so could make two 6 tap jockey boxes with them. Rental units about $79/mo.
• Dale: would still need means to haul to brewfest.
• Clint: utilize all the people with trailers. Or don’t get rid of the trailer and find a place to park it where we can still gain access.
New Business
Murrish: long time since a grain buy
• Frank: about 10 bags short. Have it priced to include taxes, shipping, etc. Could take off shipping & see fluctuation in prices. Other option is Ernst has suggested we could put in orders along with his.
Courtney placed in KCMB with Whiskey Sour
