The Effin Brewery has been nearly 30 years in the making, and although I would like to think otherwise is continually evolving. In fact so much time has been spent on various aspects of designing, building and using the breweries that my wife has been heard to exclaim "You are never out of that effin' brewery!!". Quite unwittingly she has named the brewery.
Although I have been brewing for nearly 30 years, on and off, I have never managed to actually take the plunge and go commercial, although if the brewery expands past its current capacity of 18 (UK) Gallons then something has got to be done about that, after all a man can only drink so much beer.
The current brewery has (or will have) two seperate systems, the main gas powered 18 Gallon Pico system and a 20L pilot plant (the femtobrewery) which is currently under construction. Gradually as this site expands construction details will be posted of both systems, and certainly the operational details will be explained.
I cannot describe the brewery as a micro brewery, as I feel that that description should really be applied to breweries with a capacity of more than 1 Brewers Barrel (36 UK Gallons, or 163L), picobrewery really describes the system more appropriately. As a bit of fun the pilot system (4UK Gallons or ~20L brew length) got the femto suffix.
