Also, I did see the fermenter at Fullers which is no longer in operation, and I did recognize the similarity with those at Wychwood. I don't claim to have a comprehensive understanding of the English beer industry, but it was my impression that the value of Wychwood's unique fermenting system and overall top quality beer may be overlooked by many people simply because they were bought out by Marstons - which is unfortunate. After spending a day at Wychwood with Dave, the head brewer, I was thoroughly impressed with the operation and genuinely inspired by Dave's incredible passion for what he is doing at Wychwood. All that being said, I appreciate you bringing to light the significance of what I was able to see and experience at Wychwood, and I now value that experience even more.

Even rarer than Yorkshire squares - it may be the only working example left. The old fermentation round and settling square at Fullers used the same system.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.com
