Work in Progress.

This is part of our new brewery being installed during October 2016.

The malt, in the mash tun, being sprayed with hot water during the 'sparging' process.

This washes out the sugars from the malt, ready to be boiled with hops in the copper.

Crop Circles!

This is the pattern produced on the top of the malt during the sparging process, after the wort has been drained.

Transfer of the beer to the fermenter

After the wort has been boiled, it is transferred to the fermenter, then yeast is added and allowed to work it's magic.

Casks waiting to be cleaned

One of the most important jobs in the brewery is the cleaning of casks. Each returned cask is washed, both inside and out, thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and sterilised, before being visually inspected, prior to refilling.
