in the summer it can get toasty in here but in the winter it's nice and of course those coal fired bursts are now natural gas one of the rooms you see when you first walk in is the founders  during during the eleven o'clock sunday seven october nineteenth sixty two and so he probably said right there right here and there it is a plug in right there where the s is where we're actually you know brewing the beer these copper kettles are they're from germany they were built in one nine hundred seventy one and this is where the main part of the brewing process happens so any cattles first basically at different temperatures and times are converting the starches in the in the grain into sugar so we're going to use that sugar later fermentation and the yeast is going to convert it to alcohol and carbon and grooming process and then we'll take you around to different areas and at the end you get a sample three three beers so i get to sample the beer yes myself yet of course and that's just the whole second harvest hard and with beer in my mind we start the tour by going through the bottling line or right in the room next to the bottle of wine and fortunately we can't go in there and talk about it says the so loud we can't hear ourselves  so we're in the room right next to it with these huge containers but eric told me a little bit about the bottling line what goes on in there how many bottles bottles like a chair or what we package all of our beer here in the bottling line typically packages about four hundred fifty bottles of beer per minute and in a day will make about eight thousand cases of beer i noticed whereas we were walking through menters each one holds four batches of beer so each batch is one hundred fifty barrels of beer or about three hundred kegs so that's six hundred barrels a beer it's around two hundred thousand bottles of beer if you want to think of that way in each tank never get to sample any of that beer you have or how much beer you get to have and i don't know what you're like the quality control quality assurance staff in our laboratory are sampling various tanks  daily throughout the process just to make sure they're up to our standards we do have a taste annele where we're reviewing our beers every morning about nine am is there like some sort of like special like taste collett that you have to have wh tasting beer and there are some people that have better palates than others so you could make home a super taster but everybody in a hurry is able to be on our case and anil and you can be trained basically to look for certain characteristics that you know we want to identify in our products what do you look for when you're tasting a beer what sort of flavors are you looking for most of the time if it's in our taste panel we're looking for say staling characteristics to see how well our beer aid just out in the marketplace so will age beer and taste that versus fresh beer and you know try and figure out ok what is our beer tastes like when it gets old the sort of looks like  so basically down at the end there's a what we call a valve matrix and anything going in or out of the tank basically is controlled down at the end of each row this cluster of red and green dots controls the flow of liquid being so it kind of intersects right and if the valve opens you can see how they're situated one on top of another like in a process right when the valve opens then basically whatever's coming this way in the pipe and then go that way down the intersection into the tank ok so you can go in or out and then basically you know these are different different streams is a catwalk view of the room next door with a very important filter trains and cars building models or having toy trains is one way to get involved with and i think most of us started out with a toy train set and for a few people it becomes a lifelong hobby that's how many different sort of trains there primarily what we have on this barrow are all or scale models and it works out to a quarter inch to a flood so you can build buildings and figure out little mail order but it's being at the train museum i couldn't stop myself when you play with the train those little models here yeah i think i know i think that's part of what tells the story is that having people from the same period and vehicles and that adds to the interest we try to model maintenance involved we've been here for thirty years so some of these trains have been running close to that long and they do require a lot of meat there they're built as models for a model home operator but we r tell me a little bit like we start with the front here the river is actually made out of a two part of poxy type material called entire tech flight and then the tracks are laid on a real solid plywood base and then we we use plaster and screens and stuff like that put the plasma paper towels into the plaster and then form it over the top and then once that hardens then you put whatever kind of scenery and then the different types of trees some of these were handmade actually the tall pines were made by a museum as a fundraiser up in pine pine county and they make these trees  sell him and then they're using that to fund their model railroad up there so we bought quite a few from them and then some artists came in and did the backdrop for the hills the color the hills and all that kind of stuff yeah this this is modeled after if you were to drive down i was sixty one the across where you see the river and then the track and then the highway and bluffs it's very hilly and yeah and that's pretty much the area we tried to recreate here and as you walk around the railroad like the town we were in before is like a little rural town and now we have the minneapolis skyline and then over on the other end there's a lot of  environment this is basically the same asked me false milling district as it would have been in the fifty's before they put the locks in on the river so you can see the stone arch bridge and the third avenue bridge back there and these very road bridges are spaced down the river so it's pretty well compressed and mildly similar make that area we've got the milling district on the left side of it and you can see the gold medal flour mill and some of the other buildings on this power station is still there and when you inch to the foot be twenty two feet long so we will have room for a lot more than the bridge so but our guys are pretty good a compressing thing so they're still able to be identified with all the strains of display you might be wondering how they plugin around the railroad you can unplug it to go to another location if you want it controls the speed with this knob and then the direction with a switch on top so we have one for each track so we can control the trains that way one controller colby's one train just the one train yeah and there would be track three which the passenger train is running around on right now we also have a system that we can plug him different controllers because there's more technology becoming available now and rather than use three right now we're using another digital system so this uses a much different one you can control the it controls all the tracks so we're able to use different controllers on different sections of track and this this ear you hear controls all the trains are coming in and out of the passenger station and the loops across the way around they control the main lines and then we have one more panel over there that controls the main yard and then herself will either smaller panels thank you paul so much for showing us  have another display in a different building that's only open on weekends and we're here weekdays ten o'clock till three o'clock every day and saturday  place for recreation and a place for childlike wonder all of this can be found when exploring st paul
