The Brewery

At the fourth attempt my Christmas present arrived via Tannington Transport in two loads the Friday before Christmas.  It's roughly positioned in the brewery and I've spent hours trying to put the giant Meccano set back together.  Having played this game before I spent a day taking photo’s and notes at the Church End Brewery where the plant was originally installed.  Usefully the photos revealed that a strange clamp arrangement was for supporting the fermenting vessels outlets.

Christmas put a brake on activity but now the welder is on site and reassembly of the vessels, connecting up the steam and other utilities will allow us to start thinking about brewing.

The most difficult part of starting the brewery is naming the beers.  We will be brewing a 3.4-3.5% beer to be called Cliff Quay Bitter (or CQB) and a pale hoppy 4.2 % which I am not sure what to call yet.  A nautical theme is our aim.  Any suggestions please email and if we use it you'll get a polypin of the beer and a guided tour of the brewery. Sorry we can’t use anything too crude but if it makes you laugh send it anyway.

Here's a happy New Year to everybody and lots of brewing on the Quay.

Cheers! Jeremy
