A Circus-Themed Brewery Venture
In the heart of Charleston, SC, Traveling Circus Brewing has embarked on a journey to bring unique and high-quality craft beer to beer enthusiasts. The team, with collective brewing experience ranging from 1 to 3 years, recently decided to invest in equipment from Spike Brewing, aligning with their passion for craft beer and the quality of the products.
The brewery's new arsenal includes a 15 Gallon Kettle, Mash Tun, HLT, and a CF15 Conical Unitank. According to Traveling Circus Brewing, the most impactful brew equipment upgrade has been the addition of a hot liquor tank to their initial Spike Brewing kettle.
Spike Brewing's conical unitanks are renowned for their precision, ease of use, and compatibility with advanced temperature management systems. The unitanks are designed to work seamlessly with Spike's glycol chilling systems, enabling excellent temperature regulation essential for consistent and high-quality fermentation.
Traveling Circus Brewing values market research when it comes to beer preferences, and they enjoy exploring various styles of beer, from Kolsch to Hazy IPA, to Quad. With Spike Brewing's equipment, they can maintain stable temperatures, reducing the risk of off-flavors and improving beer quality.
The equipment from Spike Brewing is engineered for the brew day with the utmost quality. Spike Brewing's hot liquor tank and herms coil have significantly improved temperature control during the brewing process for Traveling Circus Brewing. The conicals are compatible with Spike’s glycol chillers and pumps and can also work with fermenters from other brands when the correct fittings are used, providing flexibility for brewers to expand or customize their brewing systems.
Starting a brew day with Spike Brewing equipment has improved consistency and simplified the process for Traveling Circus Brewing. If a new brewer were to seek advice, Traveling Circus Brewing would emphasize the importance of having fun and maintaining temperature control during the brewing process.
Mike, a member of Traveling Circus Brewing, initially sparked the idea for homebrewing with a 5 gallon kit and big mouth bubbler. The team at Traveling Circus Brewing finds joy in the brewing process and encourages others to enjoy it as well, emphasizing learning from others, experimenting, and being patient.
