The brewing process starts with malt barley; we use only the finest hand malted Marris Otter English Malts.

Second Step
WATER
The farm’s well is located next to the brew house, the well goes down 250 feet into the hallowed ground beneath the farm. Our water is pure, we add nothing to it, it’s as natural as it gets!

Third Step
MASH TUN
We mix the malt with water from our well to create a mash. The grain is effectively soaked in warm water over a period of up to two hours, to convert the starches in the malt into sugar.

Fourth Step
SPARGING
Once the mash has been completed, the sweet wort is collected from the mash tun and transferred to the boiler. The grains are rinsed with water to collect residual sugars, this process is known as sparging.

Fifth Step
BOILER
Sweet wort is boiled along with hops to add bitterness and the wonderful aroma to our beer.

Sixth Step
HEAT EXCHANGER
After the boil, the water is cooled down to 20C via our heat exchanger.

Seventh Step
FERMENTATION TANK
Cold wort is transferred to our jacketed ex-milk tanks. Yeast is added; over the course of 2-4 days the yeast cells ingest the sugars in the sweet wort to produce wonderful alcohol and carbon dioxide.
