Unitank
Once inside the fermentation vessel (its called a Unitank) yeast will be added. Yeast will convert the sugars present into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeast will work until all of the fermentable sugars have been used. The activity of the yeast will increase the temperature of the wort. We can control the temperature because the Unitanks have a glycol jacket. Once the fermentation is complete the liquid is now beer. The beer is now ready for aging. The trub or by products of fermentation is drawn off. Our Unitanks have a 60-degree cone that helps in the collection. The beer is then cooled using the glycol jacket. When it has been cooled to the desired temperature, the beer is allowed to age and develop desired flavour profiles. Once the beer has completed its aging process it is ready for filtration after the yeast has been drawn off.

Packaging

Filtration
Filtration is done at very cold temperatures, to remove any remaining yeast, other fermentation and aging by products. We us a plate and press filter that does a fantastic job. The filtration clarifies the beer and gives it a characteristic appearance. After being filtered the beer is transferred to a Bright Beer Tank.

Bright Beer Tank
Once in the Bright Beer Tank the beer has its carbonation adjusted to the desired level and is now ready for either kegging or bottling.

We'll tell you more about how we package our beer soon.
