On a couple of threads recently I stated that on my visit to Murrays I noted that their system was a single mash tun/boiler with a lauter tun on the side and have been using that as an argument that micros don't do 3 vessel as many home brewers understand the term.
I've been firmly informed by the brewer (Ian Watson) that in fact that was the old system I'd been examining - it's parked right next to the new system which was in vigorous use at the time doughing in, and I got my wires crossed, should have counted one of those other vessels as a kettle.
So Old system: mash/kettle plus lauter tun (Similar to MT brewery)
New bigger blingier system: mash tun, lauter tun, kettle.
This enables them to brew bigger and more frequently - add the HLT and they are in fact 4 vessel. hahaha.
Apologies to a great regional brewery for taking their name in vain.
