My son Mike got married in Chicago over the past weekend. I wanted to make Mike and Danielle something they could use for a lifetime. I just thought I’d share a few pictures here.
I welded the frame from 1" steel angle. I used a stainless steel Chugger 3/4" center inlet mag drive pump, a ChillZilla 1/2" inside diameter CFC, 75,000 natural gas jet burners, 15.5 gallon HLT, 48 quart Igloo Ice Cube MLT and a 16 gallon BK.
The second to last picture shows my brew cart next to theirs. I hope the pictures aren’t too big. I reduced the originals by 50%.
Thanks all. Yes, they had great beer at the reception. In fact, the entire wedding was beer themed. Near the end of the ceremony, they each poured a container of grain into a larger jar, thereby mixing the two grains … Tables were named by breweries and decorated as such. I had setup two portable bars, each with 6 Perlick taps and I named all my beers with wedding names. e.g. Matrimony-ale, Hoppily Ever After Pale ale, Something Borrowed Something Brewed Stout, White Veil Pale Ale, etc.
I brought 12 kegs of which 9 were gone, 2 were nearly empty and one 3-gal keg was untapped. We also had a keg from a local Illinois brewery (TightHead - Mundelein, IL) and a Michigan brewery (Founders - Grand Rapids) which were more than half full at the end. I took those home and hooked them up to my kegerator. It speaks volumes that my beer went before the CRAFT breweries.
