The first step in the process
is our "Mash Tun." |
|
 |
|
|
We start with mixing the crushed grains into the
mash water. |
|
 |
|
|
The grains steep in the hot water of the Mash
Tun for approximately one hour, depending on the recipe. |
|
 |
|
|
I know there is mash in here somewhere.... |
|
 |
|
|
After the "mashing" is finished, we pump through our "Grant" to the Brew Kettle. |
|
 |
|
|
The liquid, called "Wort," is boiled
with hops here for approximately one hour. |
|
 |
|
|
The Brew Kettle is full and just about
to boil over. |
