Fermenting in chains: Lost Canoe Brewing

     I stopped off at Lost Canoe Brewing in Snohomish recently and did a double take at the hanging fermenters in their taproom. They went with plastic fermenters, originally mounted in steel frames.  The weight of the beer in a full fermenters was enough to cause the plastic to bulge out over the frames.
So they came up with this novel solution, hanging the tanks from a strong girder in the ceiling.
     Lost Canoe has a fondness for fruity beers like raspberry wheat ale and rhubarb  hefeweizen.  The latter fruit is rather tartan tart, takes a lot of sugar for the usual dessert recipes, so it meshed well with the hops in the chef.
