The brewing process begins with four ingredients: water, barley, hops and yeast. Harpoon does not put any preservatives or additives in their beer. Each step in the process can process 3,800 gallons at a time. There is one machine for each step except fermentation, which has 22 uni-tanks. A process flow diagram is available as exhibit 1.
The first step is the roller Mill and Grist Case. Seven thousand pounds of different varieties of malted barley is mixed together for each batch of beer which is 120 barrels or 3,800 gallons. The barley is cracked and the starches within are exposed. This process takes 30 minutes.
