Hi everyone....

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on Kooinda.

Some of you may already know this but we outgrew the "shed" and have leased a 500sqm factory in Heidelberg. We have had the factory since December 2009 and just completed our first brew at the new site last weekend September 2010 so its taken us 9 long months but we got there.

About two months ago (maybe more) we stopped brewing at our old residential brewery and started relocating. Trucks, Vans, Trailers and normal cars were loaded and driven day and night..

Our setup now consits of - 4 x 1000L fermenters, 1 x 1600L mash tun, 1 x 1000L Kettle (soon to be upgraded) and 1 x 1000L HWT with HERMS Coil. We also lashed out on a new 6 head MORI bottle filler to join our previous 4 head filler. Brand new water chiller and 5000L water tank to recirc back into to cool the beer post boil and control ferment temps (all fermenters have cooling jackets on them).

Everything seems to be going well, the first brew was a great success and we got to enjoy the new space, sounds and toys we got to play with.

We have launched a new website - http://www.kooinda.com.au/ - its got an updated list of stockist's, a news page and even some pictures on the new brewery in the gallery.

Once we have some Pale Ale back in stock we will be making a new beer....its still undecided and no way we would tell even if we did know!

If your chasing a kooinda recently it may have been hard to come by, we ran out of stcok about a month ago so any beer out there in shops is pretty rare at the moment. Please stick with us, first batch should hit the shelve's in about 2-3 weeks and it will be better and BIGGER than ever.

Thanks

Tried the Rasberry wit bier last week at the Local in Sydney.

Nice & fruity.

Not an all nighter as I thought at first but very enjoyable.
