The brewing process requires a lot of thermal energy (heat), so we need to be as efficient as possible while recovering waste heat at every opportunity. On the front end, our steam boilers are among the most efficient available, and our condensate recovery system is designed to retain as much energy as possible in this closed-loop system. On the back end, our brewhouse recovers heat from our kettle stacks and from hot wort on its way to fermentation, and uses this heat for generating hot water for subsequent batches and other hot water needs.
