How Aeronaut uses molecular epidemiological tools to prevent bad beer
By: Steve Reilly Now that every news article includes the words ‘testing’ and ‘infections’, we’re all looking for distraction from this health crisis. Over here at Aeronaut, we thought we’d explain how we use similar science to check on the health of all our yeast. If you can’t escape stories about nasty microbes, why not […]
Building Aeronaut: Cold box-mounted draft lines
To serve our beer in its freshest state, we decided to put our draft lines right into the side of our cold storage box. It ended up being a fun project for us, which we’ve now done twice–one for each set of draft lines. Here are some photos of the process.
Building Aeronaut: Our mobile beer dispenser

I’m talking about a movable draft fridge that had its beginnings as a sort of kegerator (or ‘keezer’ as they are sometimes called). Back when we were prototyping around 12 recipes […]

Building Aeronaut: Our Brewhouse (pt. 2)

Our mission to gather up all the equipment for the brewery brought us to some interesting places and introduced us to even more interesting people. The kettles, fermenters and large pieces of equipment here each have a story to tell. Our brewhouse (the […]
