'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!
