Arkell's Brewery - mash tun
Thanks to our guide for allowing this view inside the empty mash tun. Top left is one of the sparge arms that sprays the grist with hot brewer's liquor (water) to start the process. The resulting sugar rich fluid is drained to the underback through the perforated plate floor. Originally the mixture was stirred by mechanically powered rakes but they have been removed leaving just the central gear.

Arkell's Brewery - sample room
Unfortunately our excellent guided tour did not include any tasting. I did, however, spend some money in the shop afterwards. The product is lovely in my opinion.

Arkell's Brewery - wort cooler
A modern water cooled plate heat exchanger wort cooler, also known as a paraflow cooler and built by Kelvion. This cools the hot wort from the hop back to a temperature at which yeast can be added for fermentation to occur. Although this is a trditional brewery dating back to 1861, this is a thoroughly modern piece of kit.

Arkell's Brewery - hop back
The wort from the copper is filtered through the hop back to separate out the hops. The liquid is then cooled and sent to the fermenting vessel. There are different fermenting vessels for ales and lagers. This was seen on an excellent guided tour of the brewery.

Arkell's Brewery - copper
The bottom of the steam heated copper where the wort is boiled and hopped prior to being drained via the hop back, cooled and sent to the fermenting vessels.
Arkell's is a family owned traditional Victorian tower brewery and this building dates from 1861. This is the first year the company has allowed guided public tours and they are highly recommended (by me).
