OK sosman, I'll bite- just what is this new & beautiful piece of equipment you have bought/stolen/made with yr own lily white hands?
Backlane - it was a strategic acquisition by the Melbourne Brewers.
It is a jacketed SS, 600L vessel that has been in use in the pharmaceutical industry which became "excess to requirements".
I believe they used to make up Viagra in it, which gives a whole new meaning to the term "blow off tube". It won't be the northern brewer hops that give it the "pronounced woody" characteristic.
