brewed another batch on the weekend, used 38 bags of ice in a 1000 Litre water tank to cool it all down! the 55,000 Litre pool we usually use was sitting on 29 degrees (we need it to be about 19 degrees) after all that hot weather so we had to think outside the square a bit on that one.

and it looks like we have secured our new factory to move in to and double production and output! will keep you all updated with more info as it comes to hand

Take yourself there!
