No electricity, tents, camping out, 80+ f (26C) temperature and real ale.

It’s called Mashout and it has come and gone. I put three different beers in casks, 1 Firkin 2 Pins. I got there Wednesday before noon. Set up, got the system chilling. Had one pin ready to serve Friday at 5.

Bent 3/8 copper tubing into forms that fit on the casks (called saddles) fitted them with quick disconnects and made a cooling manifold from Randy Baril @ HomebrewCask.com to get the cold water to the saddles. I got a 12 volt bilge pump and a 12 v jumper box to pump the ice water.

My casks. More information than usual on the cards to satisfy the home brewer crowd’s curiosity.

Ice and water filled cooler with a 12v bilge pump pushing cold water to cool.
