Burton Unions

2016-06-13T13:29:36Z

Rogerp:

'''Introduction'''

The Burton Union method of fermentation is essentially a ‘cleansing’ system. It is a means of removing yeast from beer as the fermentation finishes as well as collecting it for use in subsequent brews. It particularly suits the rather powdery strains traditional in Burton on Trent as the sedimentation distance is a matter of inches and not metres. Only Pedigree and Owd Rodger strong ale go through the union sets at Burton. About 40% of the Pedigree destined for cask sale is fermented to completion in squares and is blended with union beer before packaging.

<gallery>
File:DSCF0010.JPG|At Marstons the fermentation is pitched at 14oC in an enclosed square situated at the side of the Union Room (to the top right). Once the fermentation reaches top heat of around 19oC after some 36 hours, the fermenting wort is transferred into the Burton set.
File:DSCF0011a.JPG|A true cathedral of beer, there is nothing else like it in the world.
File:DSCF0012.JPG|A set comprises banks of 7hL unlined wooden casks, a unit of 26 casks (13 in two rows) would total a 100 barrel batch. There is a tap in the belly of the cask and opposite, a hole which takes a swans neck. This tube directs the fermentation froth from the cask into a trough which runs the length of the set at high level between the casks. 
File:DSCF0013a.JPG|A view of a union set in the Alpin Room.
File:DSCF0014a.JPG|Marstons has raised the pivot point above the wooden frames to make it easier to remove the casks for overhaul.
File:DSCF0015.JPG|Head Brewer Paul Bayley gives some scale to the 7hL casks.
File:DSCF0016.JPG|The whole weight of over a tonne bears down on the bottom stave weakened by the aperture for the tap.
File:DSCF0017b.JPG|This picture from the old Bass Museum shows the fermenting records of double set 3 and 4. The attenuation is shown in the column headed A. You can see when the top trough attemperators were turned on and later the casks.
File:DSCF0018.JPG|Another photo from the Bass Museum shows the valve which controls the flow from the feeder back into the casks. The large bore is used for filling the casks at the start of the process and the smaller bypass is used during fermentation.
File:DSCF0019.JPG|At Marstons a calibrated diaphragm valve does the same job.
File:DSCF0020b.JPG|Detail of a cask head. The feeder arm is at the top to fill the casks and allow collapsed fob to return, on the right is the sample tap - only one per side of 13 casks. The flexible tubes run cooling water to the cask attemperators. The iron cross supports the cask on the frame. The cask is clamped into position but released for cleaning by attaching a crank to the trunnion stub.
File:DSCF0020a.JPG|A close up of the iron cross and trunnion.
File:DSCF0021.JPG|The valve controlling the flow to the cask attemperator.
File:DSCF0026a.JPG|Detail of three cask heads.
File:DSCF0029.JPG|Head Brewer Paul Bayley takes a sample.
File:DSCF0068.JPG|The trough slopes gently towards a transverse ‘feeder’ and from there collapsed fob is fed back into each cask. During cleansing, the yeast settles out in the top trough and the beer weirs into the feeder though valved connecting pipes.
File:DSCF0069.JPG|Viewed from the top trough looking towards the feeder; the hole on the top right feeds the collapsed fob back into the feeder trough. The bottom left empties the trough at the end of fermentation and the larger hole in the base is used to remove the yeast crop.
File:DSCF0069a.JPG|The connections from the trough to the feeder on the right. The small pipe entering the feeder is part of the cleaning circuit.
File:DSCF0069b.JPG|The view of the connections to the feeder from below.
File:DSCF0069c.JPG|The trough (below left) and feeder trough.
File:DSCF0069d.JPG|Note the safety features of the Marstons sets.
File:DSCF0070.JPG|The circulation of fob is driven by a 1oC temperature differential by applying cooling to panels in the top trough. This set under repair shows the cooling surface on the bottom of the trough.
File:DSCF0071.JPG|There are water cooled coils in each cask to lower the temperature before racking. Head Brewer Paul Bayley demonstrates.
File:DSCF0072.JPG|When racking gravity is reached there is a crop of yeast in the trough and the cask has a yeast count in the order of one million cells.

Burton Unions

'''Introduction'''

The Burton Union method of fermentation is essentially a ‘cleansing’ system. It is a means of removing yeast from beer as the fermentation finishes as well as collecting it for use in subsequent brews. It particularly suits the rather powdery strains traditional in Burton on Trent as the sedimentation distance is a matter of inches and not metres. Only Pedigree and Owd Rodger strong ale go through the union sets at Burton. About 40% of the Pedigree destined for cask sale is fermented to completion in squares and is blended with union beer before packaging.

<gallery>
File:DSCF0010.JPG|At Marstons the fermentation is pitched at 14oC in an enclosed square situated at the side of the Union Room (to the top right). Once the fermentation reaches top heat of around 19oC after some 36 hours, the fermenting wort is transferred into the Burton set.
File:DSCF0011a.JPG|A true cathedral of beer, there is nothing else like it in the world.
File:DSCF0012.JPG|A set comprises banks of 7hL unlined wooden casks, a unit of 26 casks (13 in two rows) would total a 100 barrel batch. There is a tap in the belly of the cask and opposite, a hole which takes a swans neck. This tube directs the fermentation froth from the cask into a trough which runs the length of the set at high level between the casks.

<big>'''The following index shows the photographs taken by Roger Putman on behalf of the Brewer & Distiller International magazine.'''</big>

The Brewer & Distiller International is the monthly technical magazine published by the Institute of Brewing & Distilling which is based in London but with a worldwide membership.

Roger worked for Bass for thirty years in various leading production roles and left as the company was slimming itself down to sell on to Interbrew in 1999. He then took on a series of training appointments, was a founding father of the Beer Academy and also organised the Brewing Industry International Awards culminating in taking the beer competition to the Drinktec exhibition in Munich in 2005.

He also found time to visit a series of breweries at home and abroad for the magazine. Starting with the Fed in Gateshead, Timothy Taylor, Hydes, Everards, Ringwood, Jennings and Brains. These breweries are absent from the galleries below as the photographs were taken on a steam driven camera and the prints have since been lost at the publishers. Digital technology came to the rescue in 2001 with Adnams and Holts and continued for another 363 folders containing over 75,000 pictures before he retired as the magazine’s editor at the end of 2014.

There are 175 breweries in the archive which is more than Alfred Barnard wrote up in the 1880s but Putman had to visit 79 overseas to beat him. A few UK breweries were not included but otherwise the B&DI has a full record of how Britain’s breweries managed their affairs in the early years of the twenty first century.

As an educational charity, the Institute of Brewing and Distilling wishes to make Roger Putman's collection of photographs accessible to a wide range of users while its own web site remains largely for the use of its members only. It is not intended for anybody to make commercial gain from these pictures but to extend the public benefit that a wider audience will bring. Researchers, authors or just browsers are welcome to inspect these valuable records of the recent past which will of course be the history of the future.

The images are fully copyrighted to Roger Putman, the Brewer & Distiller International magazine and the Brewery History Society.
