Our plant is a 15BBL kit. It consists of second hand tanks customised to form our liquor tanks and copper (complete with vapour condenser to eliminate smells) and new open top fermenters and mash tun, which were custom built by a local dairy plant manufacturer.
Most of the brewery parts and accessories, such as the sparge-arm condenser and double cask-washer,were designed and built by Iain (an engineer by trade).
All our beers are brewed by traditional hand crafted methods.
The grist is poured from a hopper, mixed with the liquor,and then stirred by hand (usually Shane and Innes’s job) This is left to stand - converting starch into fermentable sugars.
