That means we're IN!
For those of you keeping track, it was:
140 days from initial application, November 22nd
115 days since application was accepted as complete on December 17th
88 days since application was marked as complete by Triage on January 13th
So- where do we go from here? Well, now I have a few construction things to take care of. City Certificate of Occupancy and Health Department approval are the final two regulatory items to pass. Since our local Health Authority is considered to be "very stringent" in their review of breweries, this is the next big hurdle.
The Director of the Department does all Brewery inspections. His last name is Brewer. He is also a member of a religion which stringently enforces a "No alcohol" policy among its members. You know, the one based in Salt Lake. That one. Is this really relevant, or am I being a religious bigot? Well, I suppose that is up to individual consideration. Personally, I think it is relevant and is somewhat of a conflict of interest, but... clearly that's not up to me to decide. It's up to me to get my brewery together and dialed in so he really has nothing to complain about.
Stainless transfer lines are installed. EXPENSIVE ones. 80 feet total, and $6000 They are beautiful, to be sure!
Wood and concrete in the storage room are sealed. Shelves are assembled.
I have to connect the final hoses to the fermenters from the glycol system.
There is currently water in the HLT for leak detection- None detected! :)
This week we will go for the C of O Inspection and MAYBE if everything goes perfect, go for Health Department. I also have to get grains! and Hops! and Yeast! And and and and
