The
Brewery
The brewery was made at Charles Wells Eagle Brewery in Bedford by
their engineers from modified 800 litre Grundy Tanks . These are
stainless steel vessels used in the food industry for a variety
of uses and are often modified for the brewing industry . The brewery
has a capacity of 5 brewers barrels ( 180 gallons ) .
Initially the brewery was what is termed a malt extract bungalow
brewery . That is to say that the fermentable sugars were provided
by malt extract in a “ syrup “ form rather than having
a mash tun filled with grain . Bungalow , because all the vessels
etc were on the same level . The brewery was installed in the Saracens
Head in Cambridge initially , but was then moved to the Cox’s
Yard pub in Stratford-On-Avon, Warwickshire .
