Hi wes,
He bought the equipment (same as U Brew It in Perth) as you would a franchise, however, he is not obligated to use their ingredients for ever.
It's a pretty flash looking set up. Six you beaut boilers (50 litres)with a lovely heat exchanger/filtering system that could be used for a hop back.
Ale fermenting room set at 18 degrees, lager fermenting room set at 12 degrees plus an incredible filtering, carbonating and you bottle it yourself set up.
Getting back to the weight of the malt extract. I just went down and had a look at one of the 205 litre/44 Gallon Drums and they clearing state that the contents are 300kgs.....now I'm still confused.
All the extract is Muntons from the UK.
