HIRE THE BREW TANK

By:Gareth Davies
Share post:
MASHED ISSUE 17

Wonder what it’s like brewing on equipment similar to the professionals, but don’t have the budget to get your own?

Well, Dark Farm have great news for you! You can now rent a 40L or 60L Brew Tank Explorer II, the ultimate tool for all grain brewing. Our top of the range model comes with wort recirculation, RIMs, cooling, and loads more goodies so you can brew at home like a pro. The 40L Brew Tank is ideal for brewing up 30L, around 50 pints. With the impressive 3KW heating element alongside the efficient RIMs system, you have the perfect balance of power and accuracy. The Brew Tank is simple to use and clean, and easy to customise to your brewing methods and styles.

And you can count on great support from us! We’ll help you through the process with one-to-one advice, alongside instructional videos and a starter guide.

Rental: 40L Brew Tank @ £120 per month // 60L Brew Tank @ £140 per month

Why not split the costs and make the most of your rental by sharing your Brew Tank with friends or your homebrew club? Plus if you fall in love with it, you can buy it or swap it for a new one at a reduced cost.

What’s included: The Brew Tank “Explorer Pack II” integrates a 1.5KW RIMs system within the wort recirculation. Allowing you to use the powerful 3KW heating element to heat up to strike temperature and during boil, and then switching the 1.5KW (RIMs) during the mash for optimum control and efficiency. The “L” valve allows you to switch seamlessly between recirculation and the built-in whirlpool. The wort spray provides even coverage over your grain bed. The Explorer Pack II also comes with an immersible chiller with hose connection for cooling out wort quickly after the boil.

A Pint with… Andy N., Homebrewer

I live in Cardiff but I’m originally from Lancashire. I am retired and started brewing when my children bought me a BrewDog 1 gallon brew-in-a-bag kit just after lockdown in 2020. The results were successful so I started looking at other kits and equipment, and came across the Dark Farm (MASHED) kits and eventually tried them all.

Brewing Notes

This issue has become something of a shrine to IPAs and Aberystwyth - and rightly so! What a truly amazing town and community we’ve found ourselves in: a thriving, bubbling scene that extends far beyond beer.

If you haven’t yet been, let this serve as your invitation - there’s never been a better time to visit.
Fermenting

IPAs & Pressure Fermentation: A Game-Changer?

Pressure fermentation is transforming IPA production by providing brewers with new ways to enhance hop expression, refine mouthfeel, and optimise fermentation conditions. Traditionally, beer is fermented at atmospheric pressure, but applying controlled CO? pressure influences yeast behaviour and hop interaction in ways that can elevate the final product.
