Cambrian EcoVolt MINI

We were proud to collaborate with Cambrian Innovation to develop the first EcoVolt MINI. Designed for the needs of a smaller brewery, our EcoVolt MINI leverages electrogenic bacteria, which essentially ferments our wastewater into clean water, which we can use for our other brewery functions.

BrauKon Kettle Steam Condenser

During the brewing process, approximately 8%-10% of the brew evaporates into the atmosphere during the boiling stage. We partnered with BrauKon to design a custom kettle steam condenser that re-condenses that steam into water, which the EcoVolt unit can them reclaim. We simultaneously recapture the heat from the steam by running ambient temperature water through the condenser, and through simple heat exchange, we are able to send that water to our hot brewing liquor tank to be used in future brews.

Union Engineering ReVap-CO2 Heat Exchange

Temperature control is a critical component of brewing, and this requires energy. We implemented a creative method of limiting the energy needed to cool our spent glycol and to heat our liquid CO2. Our Union Engineering heat exchanger allows us to run these 2 lines in parallel, which super chills the glycol while simultaneously vaporizing the liquid CO2.

Sonoma Clean Power

By tapping into the natural geothermal energy produced by the geysers in Sonoma County, Sonoma Clean Power offers its EverGreen customers 100% locally sourced renewable power. We are proud that our beers are brewed with this clean energy produced in our backyard, and we are happy to support another local company bringing jobs to our community.

Brewed Better

American-Made Brew House

We love America! We felt strongly about using American-made steel for our brew house, so we partnered with U.S. based manufacturers to custom-design and build our brewing vessels, fermenters, & bright tanks.

Hard-Piped & Well-Insulated

Our brewery is entirely hard-piped, which contributes to quality control, while simultaneously reducing waste and increasing workplace safety. All of our pipes are well-insulated for energy-efficiency.

Sloped Floors & Trenched Drains

To ensure that there is never any standing water on the brewery floor, which can create quality control issues or workplace accidents, we sloped our floors and installed trenches beneath the brewery floor, which channels the water to our EcoVolt.

Centrifuge

After fermentation, all of our beers pass through our centrifuge filtration system, to help remove any undesirable sediment or residual yeast without stripping away the hop aroma and flavor complexities to guarantee you get our very best beer!
