A little more history

After the problems that i encountered with a very fixed system, i kneejerked my way to the opposite extreme and set up a BIAB SYSTEM which recirculated and controled the temp of the mash. I had so,e good results from that, but i realised that i am at heart a three vessel brewer who enjoys that process. I also realised that easy is not everything and i brew for many reasons. One of which is certainly enjoyment of the process. Soooo the BIAB system was deconstructed and my final (for now) system emerged.

A little bit of history

My set up has gone through three different constructions. First i went for a three vessel pump assisted electric system with hard plumbed permanent connections between vessels. I had already done some brewing so i felt sure this was the way i wanted to go. OMG how wrong was i? I totally underestimated how difficult it is to clear out vessels and pipes that are permanetly in place. Soooooo that system had to be dismantled.

The Whispering Cat

The Whispering Cat Brewery.
Fulwood's finest pocket sized brewspace.
It may be tiny (100sq ft), but it is amazing how much can be achieved in a small space and the plan is to develop it further. First priority was get the beer flowing. Next one was get the beer flowing consitently of a good standard. Next was get the beer flowing, of a consistely good standard, and manage the process so that seperate batches of the same beer actually tasted like each other. All three of those priorities have been achieved -phew.
