The first blog entry - Onwards and Upwards We Are Up and Running
This is the first blog entry...
At last Hunter's Brewery is up and running at full capacity. We know have a 5 barrel plant and have a fully automated fermentation process with 6 fermentors. Over the last three months we have been upgrading the fermentation process by commissioning an ICS evo 51 cooler and intigrating it with a master control pannel. This new system has taken away the temperature variation on fermentation. We can now garantee consistancy and quality everytime we brew ale.
We have also repainted and sealed the floor in the brewery and installed a storm drain that has also helped cleanliness in the brewery. This was a massive undertaking as we had to dig three foot of concrete to install the drain. It also looks great as the floor is painted Hunter's Red!
I have also been busy upgrading cask washing as I found the system I previously had was not doing the job. I can now wash four casks at the same time and they are spotless inside using half the water and half the time.
It seems investment in the brewery is never ending I have also just purchased another 100 9 gallon casks from hereford casks so I can build on my new costomer base. I have a sales rep starting in January called Phill Edwards who will be contacting local pubs in East Devon, Mid Devon and Teignbridge area so we should have a rapid growth this year. You can contact Phil on 07711252699 if you would like to order some ale.
This year we are also on the SIBA list with Gold 4.8%, Pheasant Plucker 4.3% and Crack Shot 3.8% so please try us and hopefully be impressed.
