London Hackspace | London Hackspace had an active homebrewing subgroup at the old Hackney rd location. We still have a shared full-mash gas-fired brewing setup which is capable of a brew length of about 80 litres, as well as a CO2 keg dispense system. Anyone can participate, even if you've had no experience before, there's always cleaning to be done. :) | ||
Since our brewing equipment is gas-fired and the space isn't well suited to the steam produced, we brew outside on the loading dock. This is more pleasant in the summer than in the winter. | Since our brewing equipment is gas-fired and the space isn't well suited to the steam produced, we brew outside on the loading dock.
