The Flood/Maifest released
Lets see, two weeks ago today, when I left work I left one of our three hot water tanks filling upstairs. This is usually something I try not to do, but if it happens, there is a float valve that is supposed to turn the the water off, and it that fails there is an overflow tube to bring the excess water downstair to the drains. Well the float broke,and the overflow tube was clogged with hard water deposits, so the tank over flowed all night long. The water flowed into the office, and dripped into the salesroom below. Thus we had the FLOOD!
The cleanup has kept us all working very hard here at the brewery. Thankfully the damage was not as bad as it could be. The salesroom floor is somewhat warped from all the water, but we learned that it has been flooded before, and that the floor eventually settled back down. The carpet was trashed in the office, but amazingly our computer survived even though it was on the carpet! The insurance people have been our here repairing our dry wall and setting up fans to dry the floors and ceilings out.
Here is a an artists rendition of the event. 
All this on top of our business really ramping up. People seem to be just clamoring for our beer. Also our Assistant Brewer, Aaron Gerbo has left and has been replaced by our new Assistant, Kevin Buckley. Hooray Kevin, welcome to the team!
Today we bottled the Maifest. I have to say it is very good this year. Its sort of unusual to find this type of beer in the market, a Spring Bock, and it goes pretty quick, so don’t delay! I look forward to a fun and exciting Maifest out at the brewery this year on April 30th!
Also its time to get organized if you are going on our Great Taste of the Midwest Bus trip. Tickets sold out in ONE HOUR last year so if you want to go, fire off an email to Teresa@millstreambrewing.com to ensure yourself a spot on the trip (and to ensure we get enough tickets).
