My mum used to sell houses in the real estate market in the 60' & 70's , often she would tell me about each new house she offered for sale in the same way in which Alfred describes the layout of these breweries. I would often close my eyes and use my imagination only to have a brilliantly clear vision of exactly what she was describing as I listened. Perhaps the racking squares are just a standard name that doesn't really describe their physical shape, but rather an older industry term to mean a vessel in which casks are filled from, and previously square? <br /><br />Lastly, over the past year and a half, I have been knocking away at building a 19th century brewery, it's a small 2 bbl affair, but steam powered with old re-purposed parts from a 19th century rail engine, lots of brass and cast iron parts, copper and wood. In my design, I have intentions of building a "coolship" or Morton's style refrigerator for post boil cooling, these coolers are just visually exciting to look at.Arctic Alchemyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595519000704103690noreply@blogger.com
