HORIZONTAL DIRECT-FIRED MALT KILN OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BREWING – Stage 1+2+3 – INSTALLATION

As part of the completion of all technological sections of malt and beer production, we are currently focusing on the construction of a functional malting smoke gelding in the area of ​​the Žentour mill, on which it will be possible to produce smoked malt. From one batch of malt we will be able to produce 25 hl of special beer. Help us revive this unique malting technology and save it for future generations. In this third final phase of the project, the installation of locksmithing, plumbing and axe-making elements will take place, the construction of smokestacks and a steamer including their decorative ends and, finally, a trial batch of smoked malt and the initial batch of beer. An enamel plate with the names of important donors will be installed for the new malting gelding.

Donate to locksmithing, tinsmithing and axe making elements and help us restore the historical technology of producing smoked malts.
For a generous donation (72 EUR and above) your name will be listed in the malting forest memorial book, (720 EUR and above) your name will be listed on an enamel plaque right next to the malting gelding. 
 
We also invite you to visit the National Brewing Museum to tour the exhibits and look forward to you soon tasting our new beer Rudou Svini made from smoked malt!

If we manage to collect a contribution higher than the total cost of building and operating the malting gelding, CZK 1,130,000, in this final stage, we will use the money collected in excess for further trial batches, which you will taste together with us at events in the Černokostel brewery. Thank you and may God grant you good luck and a good turn.
