Life as a Musical

falling-stone asked: So my fellow brewer, did you know that your local Brew on Premises will likely give you (for FREE) a 20 gallon fermenter? I got mine from Frederick Maryland in a little place called the flying barrel. It is a converted malted barley container. Your local brew store probably has to pay to get rid of them and boy howdy do they make a nice fermenter.

When I was making extract beers I pulled many a bucket of malt from these at the Flying Barrel. Bob is a good guy. I haven’t been to their new location in downtown Frederick yet. I’ve been going to a store in Columbia because it’s a little more convenient, and the prices are a little better.
