Rocks Brewing Build ...

[Yob]

Phaarkin nice.. Epic man, can't wait to get out and have a tour..

 

[huez]

I'll use my first post on these forums to say how excited i am that i found where the brewery is going this afternoon, no more then a 5 min walk from my place. Quite dangerous! Also dangerous thats its pretty much next to my gym, can see myself veering right to the Rocks brewery and having a beer instead of turning left and sweating beer out for an hour in the gym.

Damn Exited!

Quick pint before, few pints after. Easy done.

Might have been a bit busy. Equipment is in, be installed starting in about 3-4 weeks. Brewspace is a bomb site, but the outside is getting there,

Bloody hell scotty, been busy alright! Nice work mate

Gym-smym, I'll get you lifting full 65kg kegs for an hour, no membership fee. best thing there will be a pint in the bar waiting ...

Will pop up some pics of the inside, getting there.

Looking fantastic. Can't wait to come by for a tour.

So you'll be able to set one up in my brewing dungeon before the new year..?

Cheers Scotty! I'll bring a cold slab of new for your efforts..

Trades are a bit hard to get at this time of the year Mssrs Spongie, but will do my best.

Where is the old brewhouse? Is it actually at the pub? (only went there once about three years ago).. if so will the old brewhouse be cleared out and converted into bar area if that's feasible?

 

[NewtownClown]

I believe I read in Crafty Pint they use contract brewers... That's why they are The Rocks Brewing Company - soon to be Rock's Brewery.
Not 100% sure...

 

[///]

We are 100% contract atm, across 4 breweries on average from Mildura to IBC to Australian Brewery to 6 String. Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority told us from the get-go that we would never be able to put the brewery in The Rocks. Happy for us to have the pub and beers named after the area, but a big no to trucks and all the usual brewery stuff.

Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority

What a corrupt bunch they are being proven to be...
Was a "brew pub" type setup ever considered to supply just harts?

Looking forward to buying your packaged product off the shelf locally! Growler re-fills at the brewery in the cards? (Sell it by the millilitre and fill my keg?)

 

[///]

I'll side step the issues that SHFA have had around other tenants, but there is no room for any brewing and at 40+ kegs a week that is still a reasonable sized bit of kit.

Growler fills will be in place as well as packaged sales. Looking forward to taking home growlers personally! ;p

Come on mate, it would be perfect, you could just run waste stream to ocean, it would even create your own special fishing spot. And you are then lowering your BODs by eating the fish, serve them as carbon neutral or something. Harbour whosits don't understand the idea of food miles.

Chiller is in ... We small one ...

 

[Bizier]

Neat layout and sexy floor drains.

 

[Yob]

What's the output of the brewery going to be? As in volume?

 

[///]

About 500,000 at the mo, can slide to about 1.2 mill with a few tanks in. All the services are oversized so I can add tanks straight in. On contract I am at about 250 odd ATM, so it will fill pretty quickly.

Last bit of kit is in on Thursday, just
Need to finish the building stuff and away we go.

Forgot to say 'oh yeah, sexy floors'. Spent 5 years trying to hose down floors uphill and to a small pit, never doing that again!

Floor was relatively cheap too, worth every cent

 

[Bizier]

Mate, it is the unsexy stuff that makes the daily difference to an enjoyable job, therefore "free" productivity.

Your floor turned me on mate.

 

[O'Henry]

If you don't put in the right floor, every brewer who ever works there will curse you all the day. Also, insulation on the chiller pipe work.

Edit: Forgot to say, looking sexi!

Don't tell me you drive that forklift scotty?

Looking good mate, is there a train station in Alexandria?

 

[huez]

Mascot or green square. Mascot probably slightly closer.

Looking great Scotty, Hope I get a chance to come & have a look when down in February...

Cheers Ross

I am king at creative forklift use ... Those empty 20' containers did not stand a chance yesterday

Mark - in between green square and mascot ... Mascot a bit closer

Looking forward to beer being in 1 place ... Not 5 ... As is the current
