Brewery Fit Out & Installation

The fit out started on Wednesday 11th May with the contractors on site to cut the drainage channels in the brew house and cask-washing room.  Noise and dust prevailed for a couple of days.  Now we wait for the gullies to be cemented in before we pressure wash the place clean again.

This was going to be where the cold store would be until we found out how much it was going to cost to construct a room.  So regrettably the hospitality room is no more (it will be the cold store) but we'll still think of it as a chill out area.

The place where it will all happen.  The brew vessels will go here (note the approximate chalk marks on the floor).  There is a mezzanine level that we intend to use as an ingredient store.  We'll have a malt hopper (fitted to the left-hand wall as you look at the photo) above the mash vessel.

Day 06 and the drainage channels are all cut out and some of it is fully pointed.  You get a better view of the ingredient storage area on this one.

 

The dusty works were completed on Thursday 19th May and was immediately followed by the purchase of a pressure washer!  A couple of days of washing and cleaning and the place was ready for the brew kit to arrive.

On Monday 6th June at 7.55am a curtain sided truck drew up with the five brew vessels on board.

The vessels were manoeuvred into the unit and sited in their approximate locations awaiting installation.
