FVs 4 to 6 from above - stainless tubes carry glycol coolant |
Shiny domes, and also the conditioning tanks. This temperature-controlled hall used to house a canal boat, but now it's Ossett beers. |

When a brewery is big enough to justify a steam generator it has truly arrived! |
The majority of Ossett's casks are stainless steel, but here at the triple cask washer is a batch of plastic ones. The cask exteriors are pre-cleaned in the yard. |

These tanks, still in their protective film were to be used to hold beer awaiting bottling. |
