Product Description
The photos in this book represents a snapshot of brewery life near the first anniversary of (512) Brewing Company. (512) allowed the author and his camera spend countless hours documenting the brewing process up close so that you can see how they make beer. At a small craft brewery like (512), the work of brewing involves considerable physical labor. Half-barrel kegs weighing around 150 pounds when full are rolled, lifted, and filled. Sanitizer solution is mixed in 5 gallon buckets. Hoses and pumps are moved and re-configured. Fifty pound bags of grain are poured into the mill. The brew kettle, and fermenters are cleaned with hot water and sanitizer solution. Hops are measured and dumped by the bucketful into the boiling brew kettle. The mash tun is cleared of grain with a shovel. Fittings and hoses are cleaned and sanitized. Almost every aspect of the brew process is visible and hands on. This book documents that brewing process in photos, walking through the steps of milling the grain until the final steps when beer is finally kegged. Unlike a typical sterile industrial brewery tour, there is a lot to see when (512) crafts beer.
