Matthew Kendall, Brew-master at Banks said the Stromboli system within the new Wort Kettle will provide many advantages over the present one such as higher wort quality, energy conservation, loss reduction and overall consistency of wort. Wort is the liquid extracted from the mashing process during the brewing of beer and it also contains the sugars that will be fermented by the brewing yeast to produce alcohol.
“This state-of-the-art system is presently installed in over 50 countries worldwide and having it set up here will propel Banks DIH Limited to a group of elite breweries that consider these and more benefits important to its operation,” he said.
The release also said that engineers from a reputable German company, Krones, are currently undertaking work at the brewery.
Meanwhile, the installation of the 14 outdoor unitanks which started two weeks ago is at an advanced stage and will be merged with other components of the brewery which should be fully operational by the end of August 2013, the release added.
Chairman of Banks Clifford Reis had highlighted the upgrading of the brewery as part of major capital work being undertaken by the company at its recent 57th Annual General Meeting at Thirst Park.
