Mobile Brewery Troup Highlights Local Beer Scene
In the heart of Charleston, South Carolina, Traveling Circus Brewing has made a significant leap in their homebrewing journey by investing in Spike Brewing equipment. The team's passion for craft beer and the quality of Spike's products align perfectly, making it a natural choice for their setup.
The addition of a hot liquor tank and the Spike Wort Chiller, in particular, has significantly improved their brewing process. The wort chiller, which uses counterflow technology, cools wort four times faster than previous models, accelerating the brew day process. This efficient cooling system involves hot wort flowing through inner copper tubing while cold water flows in the opposite direction around it in a stainless steel shell.
The benefits of Spike Brewing equipment extend beyond efficiency. The chiller's outer shell is made of 304 stainless steel, making it easier to clean, more sanitary, and visually appealing. The high-quality materials and fittings ensure a secure and professional setup, while the practical size and configuration cater to the convenience and efficiency of homebrewing setups.
The team at Traveling Circus Brewing, composed of Brant N., Mike S., Dave C., and Matt M., emphasise the importance of patience, learning from others, experimentation, and enjoying the process in making great beer. Their collective brewing experience amounts to approximately 6 months as a group, with individual members boasting personal brewing experience ranging from 1 to 3 years.
Traveling Circus Brewing values market research in their beer preferences and enjoys a variety of beer styles, including Kolsch, Hazy IPA, and Quad. They prioritise experiencing the craft of brewing over focusing on a specific beer style. The team became interested in homebrewing after tasting craft selections, with Mike suggesting they start with a small 5-gallon kit and big mouth bubbler.
The team advises new brewers to have fun and focus on temperature control. They believe that Spike Brewing equipment, engineered for the brew day with the utmost quality, contributes to a better brewing experience. Traveling Circus Brewing's setup includes a 15-gallon kettle, mash tun, HLT, and a new CF15 Conical Unitank, as well as a Spike Brewing hot liquor tank and herms coil, which have been instrumental in improving their temperature control.
No specific brews or products produced by Traveling Circus Brewing are provided in this article. However, their focus on simplicity, consistency, and market research suggests a commitment to producing high-quality, varied craft beers.
