Moving day .... into the brewery.

After weeks of preparation, it was finally time to move all Zac's beer making gear out of the house and into the new brewery premises, and you couldn't get the smile off Zac's face!!!!

It all happened amazingly quickly!!!!  Lex had worked throughout the morning to move things from the back courtyard and store cupboard to the front courtyard.  Zac would arrive around 2pm with a truck..... Rodolfo, Milka's cousin who is also staying here at the moment arrived just before 2pm - in time for the move.

So in a matter of minutes equipment was moved from the front yard to the waiting truck - well all but the last couple of items which would have to go in a taxi with Zac and I.  Memories came flooding back of  similar event - moving from their first flat to a new one on our last trip over here - 1 truck with the overflow in a taxi!

And just as amazingly, by the time we arrived in the taxi, the truck had been unloaded and everything was in the brewery - not in place - just IN!!!

Zac's grin didn't fade as he set to work putting all the gear where he wanted it, setting up the filter and pump on the tanks and getting the water filtration started.

There are still some things to dispose of from the construction stage - rubbish is not so easy to get rid of (unless of course you just want to dump it anywhere like so many people here do  - NOT), and 22 bags of yeso (plaster), a result of tradesman over-ordering!

There are still things to 'tweak' - cold room is built but not yet operational, filtration still not working as Zac wants, but it's all there and while he is brewing there's time to potter.

 Gear that he's been waiting on also arrived .... Friday was a GOOD day! 

Some of the ingredients!

Saturday was his first brew day - he's still loving it.
