Brewery upgrade at Triple FFF

April 15, 2007: As part of £750,000 upgrade of its equipment, Hampshire-based Triple FFF Brewery has installed a gas-fired vertical steam boiler from Fulton Boiler Works.

The brewery was founded in 1997 and brews a number of real ales such as Moondance, Comfortably Numb, Pressed Rat and Warthog, Dazed and Confused and Alton's Pride. It has won more than 60 industry awards.

The Fulton 60J, which has replaced Triple FFF's existing electric boiler, is being used to supply heat for the real ale brewing process as well as steam for cleaning and sterilising kegs and process equipment.

Triple FFF managing director Graham Trott said: "Our aim is to brew ale that real ale drinkers will want to drink. By using steam from the Fulton 60J in the cleaning and sterilising process we can eliminate the chemicals that many craft breweries use.

"We believe this improves the quality and taste of our beers and extends shelf life by up to six weeks."
