Game, set and almost match.
Sunday, March 4th, 2007After nearly 12 month in the design and testing phases the long overdue brewery commenced to be installed at the distillery this week.
It was decided late last year to incorporate a brewery at the distillery so the entire process was under the “one roof”. By doing this issues such as production scheduling and quality control could be more careful monitoring and adjusted where necessary.
Demand for our malts has been so great from both local and overseas outlets that unless we wished to continue rationing supplies drastic measures were needed. Production will be ramped up when the brewery is completed and commissioned in about 5 weeks.
The first of the vessels, two 2000 litre fermenters built by Hart to Hart Fabrications in Dandenong Victoria were carefully lifted into position. The mash tun and kettle are expected in about 4 weeks and with 2 weeks commissioning, we should be in full production towards the end of April.
