Keith Brewery’s CW400

In a slightly unusual location in the heart of the whisky distilling Speyside region, Keith Brewery has been producing a range of handcrafted beers and ales since 2012. Previously known as Brewmeister the Brewery recently relaunched with new investors as Keith and have a new team, new brand and even new beer.

The newly upgraded brewery is capable of producing 14,000 bottles of the wonderfully named Larger Keith (4.5% ABV lager), Herr Keith (4.5% ABV wheat beer), Pale Keith (5% ABV IPA), Sir Keith (10% ABV barley wine ale) and Stout Keith (5% ABV stout).

Sean Tomlinson, our Technical Support Partner for Scotland, worked on the brewery refurbishment which included the installation of a Moravek CW400, an inline carbonator and semi-automatic counter pressure bottle filling machine which can also be used for filling kegs.

Now all their bottling is done in-house as they shared happily on their social media platforms!

We spoke to Head Brewer Tony Kotronis who explained why they chose the CW400:

“I have worked with the machine in the past and was really pleased with the results,” he told us. “Paul and Terry were very helpful, thorough and very easy to understand so after a couple of times we understood the whole procedure”.

It’s not just the installation that impressed Tony, “The results are great. With Moravek we improved the quality and the consistency of our beers,” and perhaps he has big plans for the future? “Something else I would like to add is I would [like] the bigger version…”!

We wish Tony and the rest of the Keith Team the best of luck for the future and we’ll be happy to help them with any expansions in years to come!
