Design for the brew house, 26 June 1799 (1)

Drawing 164 shows the brew house in detail. The designs are for alterations to an existing room, probably part of the office range. The copper is shown to a larger scale, with a hole specified as large enough for a man to crawl into for cleaning. An elevated platform surrounds the copper, supporting shallow coolers (for cooling the wort) and a mash tub. On the ground directly beneath the mash tub is an underback, situated to receive the raw wort dripping from above. The underback in this drawing holds 6 hogsheads, though it can be expanded to hold 8½ hogsheads (hogshead is a liquid measurement). Above is a 'boiling back'. The roof is hipped and has a 'new cistern' over the 'present cistern', with service pipes linking both to the copper.
