12 BREWING BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Equipment news The BeerLab analyser was officially launched in the UK at SIBA BeerX creating a great deal of interest amongst visitors. The analyser is designed to allow brewers to monitor key parameters such as bitterness colour ABV and pH during the brewing process to improve product consistency and quality control. The BeerLab performs a wide range of tests on beer wort and water and has recently been assessed by Campden BRI where it was shown to give comparable performance in the measurement of pH colour bitterness and alcohol to established methods. The BeerLab is simple to use and does not require calibration or maintenance. The software guides the user through the testing process through clear graphical instructions via a touch-screen and results are available in minutes. www.qclscientific.combeerlab For more information visit Bottling line order Thanks to support from Scottish Enterprise and the Bank of Scotland Arran Brewery has placed an order with IC Filling Systems for its own bottling line. Managing Director Gerald Michaluk said We are purchasing a turnkey bottling line from IC Filling Systems one of the market leaders in this type of equipment. This facility will deal with all our non-core brands and development brands as well as providing a service to other small independent breweries. The bottling line will be delivered and installed in June 2016. Meanwhile upgrades at the brewery including new bulk malt handling milling and more fermentation capacity which will be added on Arran. The latest off trade figures show Arran Blonde as Scotlands fourth fastest growing ale brand in the top 15 ale sold in Scotland.

The energy-saving boiler which comes with future-proof steam capacity is already helping Magic Rock towards its aim of quadrupling output within the space of just two years. Magic Rock has come a long way in a short space of time and exceptional demand in the first few years necessitated an expansion in 2015 to a new 25000 sq ft facility close to Huddersfield town centre. The move also led to considerable investment in new brewing kit much of which is steam-powered. Magic Rock and CFB Boilers were introduced via social media. CFB had a completely refurbished pre-owned 100hsp 4VT Steam Boiler ready at its manufacturing facility in Essex and was able to offer the larger boiler at a similar rate to a newly manufactured smaller model. When we heard CFB Boilers proposal we realised we could get extra steam capacity from the 100hsp 4VT which would make us future-proof in the event of further expansion but at the same price as a new 80hsp 4VT Steam Boiler. It was a perfect solution for us says Ross. Steam boilers are cheaper to run than electric boilers and this efficiency will help us achieve a quick return on our investment says Mr Ross. It is also more cost effective than having separate gas heaters on each jacketed vessel. With its 4VT Steam Boiler in place Magic Rock is now ramping up output across its cask keg and can portfolio. www.steamboilers.co.uk For more information visit Magic Rocks Head Brewer Stuart Ross with Dave Parish right from CFB Boilers. 12_Layout 1 21042016 1259 Page 1
