Winner of Brewer for a Day!
-a prize kindly donated by H B Clark's for a charity draw at the Merrie City Beer Festival 2008

At the 2007 Merrie City Beer Festival, Andrew Priestley was cajoled and browbeaten into buying a ticket in a draw to win a day's brewing at one of our local brewers, under the watchful eye of Clark's Head Brewer, Paul Senior. Here Andy is filling the grist hopper with crushed malt. |

Andy gives the wort a good stir with a paddle, possibly to distribute the yeast |

The prize allows the winner to bring along a mate. Andy himself realised that the most gruelling job of the day was to be emptying the wet and heavy spent grains from the mash tun, a job which is rarely mechanized in small breweries, and which the head brewer is always glad to delegate. That's why Andy's mate David Pickersgill is doing it! |
