Brewery equipment arrived at Cape Charles Brewery this Tuesday, reminding us that craft beer is coming to town soon. All the equipment is now in place. The Mirror contacted CCB about the new equipment and the basic specifications. The manufacturer is DYE, a  professional manufacturer of distilling equipment and brewing equipment from China.

The main equipment includes:

15 bbl (barrel) brew house- includes 15 bbl mash/lauter tun and 15 bbl brew kettle/whirlpool

3- 30 bbl Fermenter Tanks

3-15 bbl Fermenter Tanks

1-30 bbl Brite Tanks

1-15 bbl Brite Tanks

1-30 bbl- hot liquor tank

1-20 bbl-cold liquor tank

Boiler/Steamer

Movable cleaning system

2 keg washer system

Various pumps, heat exchange systems, piping and other equipment.

The system leverages the latest technology, and given the modular design, is built with growth in mind. Capacity as it stands now will be 2500 barrels with room to increase to 8000 barrels per year without expanding the building. CCB plans on 30 tap lines with anywhere between 12 -20 different beers on tap.
