Tennet's

Here's a little riddle:

What happens when you turn out little 2 hectolitre brew-lab at school into a multi hundred-thousand hectolitre brewery like Tennet's Caledonian Brewery in Glasgow???

Gi-normous mash filters... ours at school holds 42 kg of mash, you can see it in the last post. These HUGE buggers (and bigger exist) both hole 18 tonnes of mash!

Gah! That's nuts! And guess what??? Only ONE guy runs this brew house at a time!







AND...


Fermenters so big you can park a highway coach inside them! Ha ha, these weren't their biggest but they were still huge. Don't remember their capacity but it's in the upper hundreds on hl.

Imagine one rupturing! You'd drown a yeasty death!

Gonna steal more pics from Amanda, if there's something I think you'd all be interestd in I'll post it foschizzle. :P

Bye bye for now!
