Walter will be bringing his pumpkin spiced saison.

If the education content revovlves around making particular styles of beer, it might make sense to try and integrate the programs around what styles will be contested a couple months down the line in the Brewer Royale.

I know the Jimmy has built pilots for his system, but he uses an electric valve to control the main flame, not a water heater controller. Also, the contr...
