“When you don’t use the maxxLūp the debris just sits down in there at the bottom of the fermenter and the beer sits on it and sometimes you get this grassy, vegetable-type flavor. The maxxLūp will extract pure aroma out of that hops and the debris stays out.”
— 4 By 4 Head Brewer, Chris Shaffer
After a few experimental brews, it was time for 4 By 4 to go back to the coffee kolsch.
“That kolsch, I had coffee steeping in the beer for 5 days, 6 days, until we got the flavor we wanted. With the maxxLūp we knocked it out in 6 hours! And the taste is superior. It’s like a whole new beer, with the same ingredients. We are planning a re-release party.”
The trial program was so successful for 4 By 4 Brewing, Shaffer says they are going to purchase the 50-gallon maxxLūp system.
“It’s a perfect size for our small brewery, and we’re growing. This equipment lets me gain a week on a fermenter and I can brew right back into it. That’s where the ROI comes in, the faster I can turn these fermenters, the better. That’s good when you’re trying to keep production going.”
