I really hope it will. I will have it made, but waiting for the state approval….They have the info, just waiting for the thumbs up. I’ll let you see if you can tell if there is a ale yeast or bread yeast involved…I like to add some suspense! Fire me off a recipe, I always like to learn…. dan@beaverbrewingcompany.com

Concerning Kvass, I’d like to try it.You say it will be available in April (4/2/11?) Are you using bread yeast to get the souring or going with regular ale yeast? Scott Simpson at East End brews this beer and there is an article in the Dec,2010 issue of “Brew your own” about it.I haven’t tasted it yet but it sounds like a authentic recipe he is using.I can send you a copy if your interested, it has recipes for the beer and others some using bread and one using ale yeast .I’d be interested to know your experiences particularly with the sourness, Scott’s recipe calls for 1.5 IBU’s only so as not to counteract the sourness-like lambic for example.
I read the Bob Batz PPG article,cool idea to start nano brewery. I’d like to do the same.
One last thing, have you been to the TRASH (homebrewers) competitions? Now that you are a “PRO” I don’t know if you can enter, but you can judge. The competition is April 9 and the website is trashhomebrewers.org. You can go to the competition page and then judge registration. They mention your brewery on the Active forum topics link (new artisan nano brewery nearby)
Good luck
