The big brew system requires a pick up truck and can't just be towed.
A truly mobile system would be cool.
The big brew system could use a few improvements, in my opinion.

Other than the volume, it sounds exactly like the 50-gallong mobile brewery
trailer that the St.Paul club already has.

I love the idea of a functional mobile brewery/exhibit. I don't know if we
could accomplish it within the 1200-1600 budget, but perhaps with the right
combination of donated/scavenged stuff...

How about designing and producing a mobile brewery in a small trailer?
Make
it available to brewers and demonstrators and able to
brew about 15-20
gallon batches? No fermentation - just grain crush, mash, hot liquor,
boil,
and cool. Just add water, grain, and propane.
Design it to fold into a
three tier gravity system with adequate protection from elements and wind.

Fellow Brewers and Beer Lovers--
As it now stands, both the Minnesota Homebrewers Association and the Saint
Paul Homebrewers Club will be participating in an exciting and rewarding
grant opportunity sponsored by the National Science Foundation and
administered by the Minnesota Science Museum. Tomorrow afternoon, the
representatives from the two clubs (who have most graciously and
generously
volunteered a great deal of their time to this
project!) will meet with
Chris Burda, the woman at the Museum who is in charge of the program.
Their
task tomorrow and during an afternoon workshop on
Wednesday is to
brainstorm
project ideas for the grant money.
At the moment, the two clubs are participating separately, but are pooling
their monies into one project. The grant provides for each club to get
$600
toward a club project, preferably one with a science
bent to it. If you
have ideas, please e-mail them to me, or to one of the wonderful folks who
are shouldering the burden of the work. Basically, anything goes, as long
as it can be done for $1200 (or $1600, should the two clubs each pony up
$200, which is the earnest amount that is asked for if the clubs do not
wish
to each donate five hours of service time (not a big
deal--next year's
Teach
a Friend Day could probably count--the Museum is very
flexible on how the
hours are used)).
One idea that has surfaced is for a beautiful brewing process display that
could be erected whenever we were demonstrating homebrewing, such as at
the
Renaissance. With $1200 and the Museum's amazing
exhibits crew, that
could
turn out extremely well!
So, please put on your thinking caps, drum up some ideas for cool club
projects, then e-mail those ideas to me, or to:
Gera Exire La Tour at gera_latour(a)hotmail.com
Doug Hoverson at dhoverson(a)cadets.com
Kris England at engla008(a)umn.edu
Curt Stock at CHS(a)barr.com
Jesse Stremcha at stremcha(a)csp.edu
These folks have stepped up and will attend the workshops, but there will
be
plenty of opportunities for us all to pitch in and
help make the most of
this $1200 project. Thanks for sending them your ideas.
Thanks,
John
