Interbrew Mother Earth Brewing Company

Great chat with Josh, very cool he reached out to you so quicky. While Mother Earth isn't available in our neck of the woods just yet, I'll look forward to it when I make it down that way. It's interesting to hear about another green brewery, I was wondering since it didn't come up, what makes Mother Earth green?
I was also interested in hearing about the differences between extract brew houses, and all grain, and I wondered if Josh had any comments on the feasibility for brewing all grain for the home brewer?
Thanks

How our brewery is green

we have 40 solar panels that run all of our taproom.

During construction we reused almost all of our brick from demo to build new walls or fill old doorways. The ceilings in our offices and confrence room have soy based spray foam. our walls in all those rooms also have blue jean insulation. water saving flush valves on two toilets and touckless water faucets. We also have a tankless water heater that runs our faucets and keg cleaner. Extract brewhouses are very limited to how the extract was made and its also really hard to brew a very light extract since the extract itself is boiled down to a syrup and by doing that makes it darker in color. Brewing all grain is the way to go with all the different malts and a superior taste to extract. Malt is also cheaper than extract, but you do need added brewing equipment like a mash tun and hot liquor tank for sparge. Thanks Josh
