Birth of a Brewery (Part 3)
A pictorial record of the first brew of Bakewell Best Bitter, Monday
February 7th 2005.
 While
the copper slowly fills, out come the scales to measure the traditional
English hops, Fuggles, Goldings and Challenger ready for the boil.
 Another
task while the copper fills, is to skim yeast off a previous
test/calibration brew, total concentration required!
 Copper
now full and up to the boil, the first hops are added.
 Finings
trials continue on the test brew, while in the background the yeast “chills
out”.
 Building
work is still in progress round the back, but the flume of steam indicates
the full rolling boil going on inside.
 Meanwhile,
the farmer arrives to collect the spent grain which must be dug out of the
steamy mash tun.
 While
Dave adds the late hops and copper finings to the brew in the copper,
 Rob
and his dad finish cleaning out the mash tun.
