Woodberry Fabrication Brewery Construction —

This showed up across the street one day, and thankfully, we didn't have to deal with it. But I like big equipment.

Pretty much all cleared out after seventeen 16 hour days.

We had to get trucks loaded starting around 4:30 am to be clear of traffic on a one way street.

A typical issue, the chiller was 8" taller than the door. G&D is our go to for cooling needs. The service and dependability are more than worth it. This 20 got remote condensers on the roof.

These 40 bbls were very heavy, but not close to the 60's we left in Miami for another customer. the difference between code tanks like these and the majority of 1 bar tanks we see most often is about double the weight. And there's always a sprinkle

Since we were there, our youngest guy decided to do his first stairs. He built two sets. While our focus is process equipment, there's never anything we won't consider.

The owners Judy and Rob, being the ultra awesome, dedicated people they are, did most of the demo, construction, build out and GC work themselves, during full days of brewing, sales, distribution, and running their operating brewery down the street.

4 1500L Mueller serving tanks were installed. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about these, but they work when they do.

After rewiring all of the automation controls, I parked myself at this table for over a week doing I/O tests and preparing for the first brew. I've always enjoyed automation controls, even when they don't cooperate.

I installed 3" ports for 1.5" racking arms. These old JVNW tanks were from the late 80's and didn't even have stand pipes for racking.

RMS provided our grain handling equipment. We ran a RAD 4" chain and disc to the brew house, Cablevey between the mill and grist, a small AP from a super sack to the mill. RMS got us a simple control panel to run it all.

There is no other option for me than Rite boiler when we are designing systems. Reliable, powerful and easy operator layout. Water Treatment by Design protects almost all of our boilers. It makes inspections a good day.

Sometimes used tanks aren't setup the way we would like, so we make them better. These two 20 bbls got racking arms added and we ditched the old Grundy relief valves to add hop ports and reliable PVRVs.

After surgery. The entire procedure for each port was about 5 hours.

Building a back purge through a fitting has it's challenges, but it works.

Checkerspot Brewing

We built Checkerspot’s original location in Federal Hill in south Baltimore. After 5 years, they stepped into a whole new facility. This install started with removing the 20bbl NSI brewery at Dogfish Head Miami, transporting all the equipment back and reinstalling it. This required a lot of logistics, a couple sub contractors to help with transport in Miami, layout changes to the brewhouse, as well as cellar tanks, packaging and grain handling. This project started in January and ran into September. It was a long facility build out, as well as production install, but we mostly had a lot of fun doing it.

Cushwa Brewing

We have worked with Cushwa since their expansion to keep them meeting their production demands. It started with giving them a turnkey install on a 15bbl ABE system, and has included adding much more cellar capacity as their demand has grown.

This has been over an eight month project for us, and we're not done yet. Some of the players are Schulz, SK, Alfa Laval, GAI, Kunzel, Meridian, Horstkoetter, Rite Boiler, G&D and ABE.

South County Brewing

Our project at South County in York Pa includes a 30bbl Kasper Schulz brew house, relocating the 15bbl SK brew house from their old facility and installing a 500gal Vendome still. We installed everything on the process end and assisted Schulz with installation of their state of the art, fully automatic brew house.

The Reckless Shepherd

When Frisco Taphouse and Reckless Aleworks decided it was time to consolidate into a single facility, we took a 7bbl pub system and combined it with their 20bbl production system. This was all shoe horned into a single room. With a high capacity club, restaurant and bar, keeping the foot print of production small was important. There were a lot of modifications required to make two systems run off of a single boiler, grain handling system and chiller. But the end result is a single brewer can do 90% of the work solo.

Bell’s MBT Brautechnik

We have worked with MBT Brautechnik since 2015. This was a project at Bell’s to create a scaled down version of their 200HL system for R&D.

Hopkins Farm Brewing

The Hopkins family decided to mix brewing into their produce, grain and malting operation. They selected an ABE 10bbl system, which is a fantastic choice, and we had the pleasure of installing their production equipment. We made sure the installation complimented the timber frame barn they built for their new facility, while operating efficiently. We also worked closely with their contractors to ensure everyone knew the needs of the end user.

Plant Heating

Any operator knows how much they depend on their boiler. We recommend Rite Engineering for that task. Simplicity in a clean package and great support. We compliment that with a good layout that optimizes treatment, service and operation.
