To follow this tour, start with the large blue grain mill in the center of your screen.
The Mill Room is where the brewing process really begins. If you look at the outside photo of the brewery at the start of these tours, you will see a couple of large silos next to the brewery. This is where the malted barley from those silos enters the building. Pale Malt from the silos and Specialty Malt from the small hopper opposite the mill are cracked in the mill. This exposes the starchy interior of the kernel which will be converted into sugar later in the brewing process. The bags of malted barley seen around the Mill Room are filled with various specialty malts, including Crystal Malt, Chocolate Malt, and Black Malt. By adding small amounts of darker roasted malts to the base of pale malt the brewer controls the final color and much of the final flavor of the beer being brewed. After the malt has been cracked, it heads into the Brewhouse, and so will we.
