In my lunchbreak today I popped down to my local Frog Island (micro) Brewery.
What a friendly couple of fellas they are :) Got to have a look around their plant, some of which was manufactured by one of the fellas as he was a welder by trade. Really goes to show you can make a 10BBL brewery on a shoe string. It cost him £150 to make the boiler :shock:
I was quite stunned to see their 3 open topped fermenting beds/vessels. I thought most brewers these days used conicals!
Walked away with two bottles of each of the three beers they had in bottle stock. Will be tasting them tonight and post my results
they're also going to give me a ring next time they head south to grab some bottles
unfortunately they wont fill my cornies if i like any of their beer but they will let me walk away with a polypin full :clap:
