Message DanielBrown beers 4668 º places 360 º 10:51 Thu 6/25/2015 Hello. I don’t really understand the brewing process (I genuinely don’t). Reading this review of a new ’brewhouse’ in Birmingham, I’m left wondering whether the process described allows the resulting beers to added to the RB database...... or not. Do they count as rebadges of an unspecified other beer? http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/edmunds-brewhouse-birmingham What do you reckon? Too complicated for me.
Message imdownthepub P beers 26028 º places 2088 º 05:07 Fri 6/26/2015 You’re right Dan, life gets more and more complicated. I suspect, but will check it out, that this will be ok as after-all they are buying the raw materials from a source and ’brewing’ and fermenting, of sorts, on site. No skills required, but it is still brewing and presumably the water is their own. It sounds from this description, the malts and hops go in together. I wouldn’t hold out much hope for the final product though!
Message jackl beers 8677 º places 740 º 05:14 Fri 6/26/2015 From the link: they have installed a TrueBrew "Techno-Brewery"; an automated system capable of brewing 280 pints in two hours (plus a week for fermentation). The landlord/brewer buys recipe kits from TrueBrew, throws them into the kettle and presses start on the touchscreen. The machine then does all of the work, including cleaning. Wow, that sounds awful.
Message cgarvieuk P beers 37595 º places 457 º 05:35 Fri 6/26/2015 IT sounds like they would be added to me, but anywhere using trubru kids would all be aliases of the Tru bru entry, as I think the US brewpub chains that make same beers were all aliases/

Message evilempire beers 162 º places 110 º 07:51 Fri 6/26/2015 I like barrel aged imperial stouts as much as the next man (assuming the next man isn’t Craig), but there really is no need to drink anything out of a bourbon barrel. including bourbon.

You mean bourbon barrel aged imperial stouts? Yes you may have something there. I’m with you there... I do like some BA beers, but I think I prefer my beers to taste like beer not port/sherry/whisky/vodka/etc. (and especially bourbon)

Message EdmundsBrew 16:03 Sat 7/25/2015 You don’t need to speculate about how the brewery at Edmunds Brewhouse works - the brewing process used at Edmunds Brewhouse is described in detail on the website www.edmundsbrewhouse.co.uk . This should answer many of the questions that have arisen. May we suggest that people refrain from guessing at how it might be done and claiming their guesses to be the facts. The brewery is far removed from the home-brew kits suggested by some and brewing a cask of beer takes up to ten days - exactly the same as the big breweries. The independent sign of quality - the Cask Marque - has been awarded to all the ales brewed at Edmunds Brewhouse.

Believe me there is nothing we would love more than a new microbrewery in Birmingham, a city for its size that is extremely under represented in this field.
