School

No vikings yet...



But pics of our labs at school.

This is the brewing lab, works in up to 2hl batches. The big square thing in front is the mash filter, the tall white thing is the lauter tun, the two smaller vessels to the left of the lauter tun are the mash mixer and cereal cooker and the turquoise thing on the far left is the mashing unit with a mono pump below it. You can't see any of the fermenters in this photo but they're all just to the left of the photo.

Not a lot else to say about these unless you've got specific questions. Feel free to ask, I like explaining how it all works.
















This below is the distilling lab. We've got two stills, these are both pot stills made mostly of pyrex type glass (some copper in the stills). The copper you see, lots of it, doesn't actually contact the spirit inside. If it did the ratio of wash to copper would be incorrect. There are several copper rings that contact the spirit to replicate an appropriate spirit:copper ratio. Again, if you've got questions either post them below or get in touch with me however you usually would.




















Alrighty, I'm off for now.
