Phillips Brewing of Victoria turned to a local partner to deliver an efficient, new brewhouse B次元官网网址� one that would continue to produce quality craft beer while helping to reduce their carbon footprint.

Earlier this year, Specific Mechanical of Central Saanich supplied the Greater Victoria brewer with a custom built brewhouse. At between 40 and 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, the brewing equipment has a capacity of 120 hectolitres. Chad MacIssac, Specific MechanicalB次元官网网址檚 marketing and sales representative, says the brewhouse was manufactured in the spring. Phillips Brewing announced the update earlier in November.

B次元官网网址淲hen it became obvious that we needed a new brewhouse, we wanted to ensure that we would be able to not only maintain the beer quality and consistency that we were used to, but also use the opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of our brewhouse,B次元官网网址� stated Founder and Owner of Phillips Brewing and Malting Co. Matt Phillips in a media release.

B次元官网网址淲e were thrilled with how Specific Mechanical Systems was able to accommodate these requests and build us a brewery that incorporated heat recovery, a mash press and hot side centrifuge B次元官网网址� and do it all on a very short time line.B次元官网网址�

The new system is automated and integrates a mash filter and centrifuge already owned by Phillips. Specific Mechanical designed and build a single stack condenser to collect steam from the kettles, cool it to water and use it elsewhere in the Victoria brewery. ItB次元官网网址檚 designed to be more efficient, producing the most beer from the raw materials required for each batch.

B次元官网网址淲e were thrilled to work with the team at Phillips to define the scope of the project, manufacture this state of the art system and deliver it in a very quick three months,B次元官网网址� said Reo Phillips, President of Specific Mechanical Systems. B次元官网网址淏eing involved in the manufacture this system, with a focus toward environmental stewardship, has been a very rewarding process.B次元官网网址�

Specific Mechanical and Phillips Brewing have been working together for a decade, MacIssac added. The manufacturer, located in Central SaanichB次元官网网址檚 Keating Business Area, has been providing brewing equipment to a variety of customers across North America. They also produce items for the distilling industry, notably creating a new distillery system for Victoria Distillery in Sidney.
