To follow this tour, start with the yellow stairway in the center of your screen.
To the left, you will see the Fermentation Farm from the last tour. The long stainless steel device with the candy-striped beer hose attached to it is the Plate and Frame Filter. The beer is pumped from the Fermenter through the Filter where any yeast or other solid material is filtered out of the beer. This makes our beer nice and clear and improves the shelf-life of our brews. The beer is then pumped through the hose into one of the huge Bright Tanks that are located next to the filter. These tanks allow us to add carbonation to the beer on the rare occasions when the yeast was lazy and did not produce enough on its own. Our largest Bright Tank holds a little over 360 barrels (or 11,160 gallons) of beer. The Bright Beer Tank is the last stop for the beer before it is bottled or kegged, so let’s head to the packaging area next.
