Bass Beer Brewery Brewing Burton Grain Mash Spent Trent
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of clearing King Edward's Mash-tub at Bass Brewery in Burton-on-Trent, an iconic event that took place in 1908. The image showcases the intricate process of brewing beer, specifically the removal of spent grain from the mash-tub. During the early 20th century, Bass Brewery was renowned for its traditional brewing methods and high-quality ale. In February 1902, King Edward VII visited the brewery and took part in the brewing process by pulling levers that initiated the mashing of 400 barrels of extra strong ale, known as the 'Kings Ale.' The mash-tub, a large, cylindrical vessel, is filled with a thick, porridge-like mixture of water and malted barley. After the mashing process, the spent grain, which has extracted the sugars from the malt, is drained from the tub. The spent grain is then transported to the next stage of the brewing process, where it is used as animal feed or fertilizer. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship involved in the traditional brewing industry. The image also highlights the historical significance of Bass Brewery in Burton-on-Trent and the role it played in the production of fine ales during the early 1900s.
