The new Millennium: the first beer
It all began with the new millennium when Luciano's wife, our master brewer, gave him the KIT for home brewing of beer. Luciano, who has always been a passionate beer lover, started home-made production almost as a joke using extracts of already hopped liquid malt. Passion and curiosity drove him to switch to production with the E + G system (non-hopped malt extract and addition of malt grains and hops in flowers).
The first steps: with the patience of the wife
The artisanal production took place in the home kitchen, the first fermentation in the living room and the natural refermentation in the bottle took place in the bedroom with a lot of understanding from his wife.
Her greatest desire was to be able to open a micro-brewery one day.
He then involved a friend from his youth, Ilario, but everything remained an utopia until the day when Ilario found himself on the move due to the closure of the company where he was employed. At that point the parties were reversed: Ilario convinced Luciano to start a much more professional production of craft beer. The two friends decided to set up a technologically advanced micro-brewery in Ilario's cellar (in the true sense of the word: 50L), using the typical ALL-GRAIN system.
The first experimental plant: first experiences
They designed and built a plant consisting of a sparging pot and a mash pot with stirrer and PLC temperature control, boiling and hopping pot and temperature-controlled conical fermenters. The old mill (Pastamatic modified by hand) responsible for nights dedicated to grinding the malt was replaced by a stainless steel one with a hopper, reducing the time from two hours to ten minutes.
The big step: birth of a dream
Three years passed and after about 120 cooked 14 recipes were made, all very popular with friends, the first real guinea pigs.
At this point they decided to take the plunge and make their dream come true.
