Brewhouse

How much longer till the brewery is completed I hear you all cry?

Not long now. We have a few things to finish off:

• Drainage – is being sorted out as I type; boring I know but essential.
• The new sloping brewery floor should be going in this week.
• Once the floor is in and curing we have a couple of weeks to wait before we can move the brewkit in
• Plumbing – we have to route a 1in pipe along the wall or I will be waiting a week to fill the HLT
• Cold room – we need somewhere to condition all the tasty beer
• Malt floor and malt chute/malt hydrator. Thanks to Sadler’s Ales for the inspiration for the malt hydrator.
• A little bit of electrical work.
• Then we will be getting the brew kit in and the warehouse will be turned into The Brewhouse.

As I say not long now, I am as excited as a small child at Christmas, and really can’t wait to do the first brew.

We took the long weekend and got a few things done down at Beerblefish HQ, we have painted the walls, swept and mopped the floors, made 4 visits to IKEA, and a few more to Tesco. We now have a set of mugs for tea, a kettle to make tea, seats to sit in while thinking and drinking the tea, and a table to place out biscuits and cups on during the periods of thinking in between the drinking of tea.

After the weekend (we also have a table between the benches now):

Enormous announcement time! After a massive search far and wide, we finally have our own home in Edmonton, North London. Watch this space for news of how the brewhouse is developing – in the meantime, we’ll still be brewing in Bermondsey!
