Brewing plant loaded and on its way
The brewing plant has been dismantled and loaded into two 40 foot containers. It will be trucked from Hayward in north western Wisconsin to Chicago. From there it will be shipped out through the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River to the Atlantic and then round through the Panama Canal. Accurately charting the St Lawrence River brought James Cook to the notice of the Admiralty. His charts enabled General Wolfe to attack and capture Quebec from the French in 1759.
This is the mash tun with the hot liquor tank below. The yellow sign on the left is the front of the brewpub’s former premises. They have upgraded their brewing plant and moved to bigger premises.
This photo shows inside the same container. In the foreground is the heat exchanger and brewer’s platform, then the kettle. It is a monbloc with the mash tun, kettle, heat exchanger and associated plumbing all mounted on a skid. The yellow thing behind the kettle is the mill. Then at the back are several fermenters.
