SILO - The silo sits in the back of our brewery. It stores our base 2-row malt and can hold up to 30,000lbs of grain when full.

MILL ROOM - The mill room houses the rest of our specialty malts along with the mill.

MILL - The mill is electric powered, 2-roll mill. It will crack the malted grains so that the starchy inside is exposed for the mash.

MASHTUN - The mashtun is where the cracked malt and hot water come together. Once inside this vessel, enzymes start to convert the starchy inside of the malt to fermentable sugars which will become the food for the yeast.

KETTLE - Once the enzymes have converted the starches to sugars, the now sweet liquid leftover is called wort. The wort is drained out of the mashtun and pumped to the kettle. In the kettle the wort will come to a boil and hops will be added at specified times.

FERMENTER - After about an hour boil the kettle is shut down and the hopped wort will be transferred to a fermenter. In the fermenter yeast will be added so that fermentation can take place. The yeast will consume the fermentable sugars that were created and produced in the mashtun to create CO2 and alcohol.

FILTER - After anywhere from 12 to 25 days the beer will be filtered and transferred to a serving vessel. The filter will trap all the sediment such as hops and yeast in its sheets and produce a "bright" beer.

SERVING VESSEL - Once the beer has been filtered the "bright" beer is moved into the serving vessels which are kept in a cold box. The beer inside these vessels is what gets poured off our taps and taxed by "The Man".

YOUR GLASS - The vessel which you hold in your hand at this moment containing finely crafted beer.

Take a drink and enjoy ---- Cheers to you!
