New Toy

Is it not every boy's dream to receive their first Firkin??

This brand-new 10.8 gallon beauty arrived yesterday, which will allow me to start my foray into cask-conditioned beers.

Eventually, the Firkin will sit behind the bar.  Until we build in a beer engine, I'll use gravity to dispense the beer.  On that end, I threw together a "stillage"--a keg stand that raises the back end for dispensing:

This Firkin will make its debut at our Oktoberfest celebration where you can sample a cask-conditioned version of our annual lager.
