In 2002, Max Pigman was juggling home brewing with another career, but when the opportunity to purchase a little brewery came along, he took it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CHALLENGES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this first location was small, it was difficult to grow the business, so Max eventually purchased an old paint factory that took his facility from 4,000 to about 20,000 sq ft. This shift allowed him to increase production from 1,500 barrels to almost 6000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike our first facility, there wasn\u2019t any place for us to grow easily. On one side was a street and on another were railroad tracks. But when the property across the street became available, we bought it and petitioned the city to close the street, which allowed us to connect the two by building an expansion across the street.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt gives us the ability to keep our existing brewery while putting out funkier seasonal and limited release brews.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted stainless steel floor drains for the new expansion. We had fiberglass floor drains in our first location, and those did not stand the test of time,\u201d says Max. \u201cThe grates cracked, and there were a lot of places for bacteria to grow and potentially cause issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW FOODSAFE DRAINS HELPED<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Max came across FoodSafe Drains at the Craft Brewers Conference and remembered being quite intrigued by the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInitially, the biggest advantage I saw with the FoodSafe Slot Drain is that you are not removing the grates every time you clean. We drop the cleaning brush paddle that came with the system into the trough and give it a little scrub. It\u2019s easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max also likes the imprevious nature of stainless steel. \u201cWe can put chemicals in the drain, allow it to soak overnight and rinse the following morning. I know it\u2019s clean, and we don\u2019t have to worry about any bacteria growing [in cracks or on the grate lip].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pleasant surprise is how much Lewis &amp; Clark Brewing Co. uses the Flush-Flo system. In their other facilities, when they needed to flush yeast and trub out of the drains, they\u2019d remove part of the grating and stick a hose inside the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow we just walk over to the wall and turn on the valve. It sure is handy because we don\u2019t get any accumulation of heavier materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"502\" src=index-116.html alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodsafedrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lewis-Clark-Tap-room.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/foodsafedrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lewis-Clark-Tap-room-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodsafedrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lewis-Clark-Tap-room-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodsafedrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lewis-Clark-Tap-room-600x301.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RESULTS AND FUTURE PLANS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before seeing the FoodSafe Slot Drain System, Max had priced out traditional stainless steel drains and decided that that option was outside of his budget. But after discussing his needs further, he was pleased to learn that the pricing would work for his expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a competitively priced option.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the long term is where I expect to see the real return on investment, by choosing this technology versus a traditional drain,\u201d notes Max. \u201cI am not anticipating this system to begin to break down with cracking and settling as the others have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad I was able to find something different than traditional options because I\u2019ve been really happy with the Slot Drain System. They work better than the other floor drains I\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE STORY Lewis &amp; Clark Brewing Co., located in Helena, Montana, got its start like so many others: as a home basement brewery.
