Even though we were able to replace some of our equipment, to this day we are still using the OG 750 litre brew kit we bought off Ebay - and she’s SO ready to retire.
Where we are at the moment has around 900sq ft for us to work within, plus 750sq ft of storage and parking for 3-4 vehicles. Our new site has a whopping 3000sq ft with 1500sq ft of storage for us to use, and we have a car park too which is something we feel we desperately need to be able to move forward the way we would like to.
Due to the increase in workspace size, this will enable us to go from brewing 3000 litres a week to an incredible 8500 litres a week! We have two new 2000 litre fermenters meaning we can increase our brew capacity from 750 litres a day to 2000 litres a day.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - slight gusher. Amber to brown with decent fawn lacing. Nose - red fruit and nuts. Perhaps a light wild yeast tang. Open mind though. Taste - tangy red fruit, perhaps cranberry. Nuts at the back. Brown bread. Wild yeast tang coming out as a dry yoghurt note. Palate - close to medium bodied and tangy sour in the middle and end section. Seems like a wild yeast infection. Overall - not as the brewer intended.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - very lively on opening. Cloudy and light brown. Proportionate head. Nose - cranberry and light yoghurt note. Sourdough and biscuit. Taste - more red fruit and sourdough. Palate - tangy and lightly bitter at the same time. Overall - challenging. Not sure it was meant to be quite this wild.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Gusher. Pours murky golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light sour dough, something fruity, bit of yoghurt funk and vinegar. Taste is sweet, strangely sweet given the nose. Thin finish.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - it's a gusher. Then half a bottle left is amber and opaque. Nose - vegetal like carrots. Earthy spice and if there is any fruit in there it might be a dried apricot or orange. Taste - very yeasty around the edges and this confirms what the opening had implied. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. Crunchy in texture. Dry crunchy finish. Overall - ok but looks like it's infected.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - slight gusher and then amber with generous lacing. Nose - light sherbet, orange and red fruit. Taste - definite sherbet unintended methinks. Light red fruits again. Palate - creamy and close to medium bodied. Sherbet / yeast notes prevalent. Overall - something wrong with this one. Not what the brewer intended.
