Brecon Brewing Week. PIC Heavy

[Muddydisco]

Went down to Brecon this last week to Help out a Old mate, Buster Brewer and MD @ Brecon Brewing.

Monday was Brewday :thumb:
Here's the Pics

Tuesday was a day of welding his landy up and making less holes in the body and Gerneral cleaning.

Wednesday was the back breaker, 90 x Nine gallon casks to wash fill and store in the cold store. Buster washing and me racking and rolling into the coldstore and stacking 4 high steels and 3 high Plastics. Hard and labour spring to mind :?

Last pic was the half way point at dinner time, after that pics we the last thing on my mind just getting finished , which happened @ 4:30pm luckily beer was on hand from 3 pm each day to help last last hour along :

Mondays Brew well on it's way

Left over yeast cake

All mine 3 ltrs of it. just had to keep it in the bottle!!

Forgot to say had a night out in Hay last night @ the Kilverts Inn, Great pub and great company, Ed the manager/ cook/ owners son was a great host again, left the bar well after bedtime, had 5 hrs kip and back to the brewery this morning to be collected by the wife who had left me there all week.
And a Firkin has fell into the back of my car so down a mates to make sure it gets a decent good spanking this weekend

I wondered what Buster's new brewery looked like. Cool.

Glad you liked the Kilverts. It's a brilliant pub and Ed is an ace guy.

Only the 1 beer Pittsy, Golden Beacons pale ale, We made 30bbl of it.

The Beer that was Racked was his new beer yet to be launched called Beacons to the Sea, he's launching it this friday, when a horse drawn dray will be delivering the beer to pubs and then onto the canal and deliver the rest.

Sorry Dude I forgot all about it. I will call in. The comb will be hard to get into the bottle and will be messy getting it in there. And I couldn't say it will be sterile. I think if you were doing that is to have some empty comb sterilise it and add it to the bottle and prime with some honey that you could weigh out. How many bottles are we talking?

Only 1 way to get it out when you haven't got an auger and rakes costing thousands. 800kgs to dig out and lovely and warm still.

 

[pittsy]

Sorry, didn't have glasses on.
The shovel in your hand looked like a steam lance and the yellow Karcher pressure washer looked like it was strapped to your back..

Nice to see more pics of Buster's Brewery.
I know him from when he was studying at Heriot Watt. Still welding up Landy's eh? :)

Looks like a great day out

 

[hedgerow pete]

i feel completely knacked just watching it all, how many times a week do they do that? once or twice or daily

 

[Muddydisco]

Due to the size of plant, it's once maybe twice a week, until his empire expands and he can ship it faster.

 

[hedgerow pete]

and lastly how do the get rid of the spent grains, farmer use or allotments or some other way
