When we first moved to our current brewery location, to enable us to continue to brew with minimum delay and expense, the kit was somewhat cobbled together (http://hardknott.blogspot.com/2010/07/heath-robinsonness.html). Things have remained in a similar state of Heath Robinsonness for some time despite extra kit being added.

We're currently brewing to capacity and need more tanks in which to put beer to ferment and mature, on bucket loads of dry hops, obviously.


I want to get the rest of the brew house in order before the tanks arrive. Today saw a major step forward with delivery of two nice heavy and strong RSJs to support my mezzanine floor. This will eliminate the scaffolding that supports my grist cases and cold liquor tank.

Right now a degree in bodging along is required to be able to brew on my kit.
