'the Brewhouse' Brewery
Our Brewhouse Brews are handcrafted
for your enjoyment right here on the premises. This
ensures you of the freshest possible beer, as the brew
you drink did not have to survive a journey from St.
Louis, Chico, or even Paso Robles. In fact, it has never
traveled more than a few feet. We brew in small, seven
barrel (201 gallon) batches.
The two large copper vessels
comprise what is actually known as 'the Brewhouse'.
The taller of the two vessels is the mash tun. This
is where the process starts. Freshly milled grain is
mixed with hot water in a process called mashing. Mashing
converts the starches found in grain into sugars. When
conversion is complete, the resulting liquid, called
wort, is transferred to the shorter copper vessel. This
is the brew kettle. Steam is used to bring the wort
to a boil, and hops are added. After the boil is complete,
the wort is cooled rapidly and transferred to one of
the five stainless steel fermenters.
Beer is born in 'the brewhouse',
and beer grows up in the fermenters. Yeast is added
to the fermenters, and the natural task of converting
sugar into alcohol begins. In 'the brewhouse', the brewer
strives to create a perfect batch of yeast food. In
the fermenter, the brewer tries to maintain the perfect
environment for yeast activity. A big part of this is
temperature control. Using pipes and hoses our glycol
chiller enables the brewer to precisely control the
temperature of each fermenter.
Each of our beers require different
lengths of fermentation. The fermentation period can
last as little as one week to several. Once fermentation
is complete, the beer is pumped from the fermenter into
our serving tanks. The serving tanks then connect directly
to the beer taps assuring you the freshest and finest
quality. We invite you to enjoy all our beers!
