Oktoberfest brewing for this year is complete! I want to take a moment and share some numbers with all of you.
-This year Left Hand brewed 900bbls of Oktoberfest, that’s 15 brews into 5 tanks
-Wort production alone took 120 hrs man hours
-The brewers lifted and milled 26,625 kg (58,698 lbs) of malt, that’s 1,065 25 kg bags!
-118.74 kg (261.7 lbs) of hops were used
-89 bbls of water in the brewhouse per batch, that’s 41,385 gallons total
At last year’s Oktoberfest celebration in Munich, a record 6.5 million liters of beer was consumed over a 15 day period. Based on the hours of service in the beer tents, the 900 bbls (105,612 liters) Left Hand brewed would have been consumed in 3 hrs 12 mins.
The season is approaching!
Prost!
