The Operation Of NSC Technical Consultants

Following on the success of the Coach House Brewing Company, Neil Chantrell received many requests from other brewers starting their own brewing operations but who lacked the necessary training and expertise. It became apparent that in order for this advice system to work efficiently it must be placed on a commercial footing and so NSC Technical consultants was born. There have been many projects since that inception ranging from the small ( e.g.. recipe formulation or water treatment ) to large scale complete design projects for international breweries encompassing the whole project from building design through to training and commissioning. All aspects are guaranteed the personal involvement of Neil Chantrell and his wide range of brewing contacts bringing you a 100 years of brewing expertise.

Further Information

• Current Brewing Projects
  The latest project just completed ( 2/8/96) is a micro brewery in the Republic of Georgia. This is a five Brl. Plant capable of producing 25 Brls. per week of traditional English cask conditioned beer. This Brewey has been brewing now for three months and is nearing capacity. The major product of this plant is a version of the award winning Blunderbus Porter but brewed to an ABV of 6.5%. A cask conditioned lager style beer is also produced but the Porter Known as "Shavi Avazzer "or Black Panther , after a poem by Georgia's most famous poet Rustavelli.
• Future projects
  Within Georgia there are two on-going projects, the first is to install a larger forty brl. mash size brewery and bottling plant early in 1997 to develop the Avazzer brands across the entire CIS.
  The second project involves the shipping and commissioning of two MAG machines to blow PET bottles. These will be used to distribute Georgia's most famous mineral water across the CIS. This mineral water called Borjomi, after it's place of origin is the most sort after mineral water within the whole of the area which constitutes the largest internal market in the world.
  Outside Georgia , there is a project to install a micro brewery producing cask beer into Poland. This project is at an early stage.
  In the UK preliminary discussions have taken place with a view to installing a brewery in South Wales.

Coach house produces a wide range of beers apart from the main stream products and a large and varied number of seasonal and special occasion beers. indeed Coachouse was the first brewery in the UK to introduce the idea of seasonal beers . The list below covers most if not all of the current years product range.

Blunderbus is described in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide as a " super winter beer. The intense roast flavour is backed up by coffee, chocolate and liquorice, and hints of spice and smoke. Very well hopped; massive mouth feel. An intense chewy pint which is surprisingly refreshing and moreish" The origins of Blunderbus go way back before Camra or even Watney's was a glint in anyones eye. Blunderbus is my attempt to faithfully re-create a recipe I found in the archives of Greenall Whitley of a porter brewed by them up to 1912. The recipe is complete with the annotations of the mash room foreman and as such is a unique record for a brewer. Interested brewers of all sizes can receive a copy of the original on request.
There are many other recipes and brewing details available from these archives and interested parties are invited to contact me by e-mail.

NSC Consultants have a good working relationship with other people in the business of manufacturing and supplying brewing and packaging equipment. We have extensive experience in brewing in very large plants , smaller regional breweries and the new breed of micros and pub breweries . I challenge anyone to match this breadth of experience and practical knowledge.
I can introduce you to the wonderful world of hop varieties , both in the UK and beyond . The subtle characteristics of hop varieties lend more to creating the elusive moreishness of beers than any other ingredient.

There have been collaborative projects with Brendan Dobbin of Peter Dobbin & Dobbin on Micro Brewery Installations such as the Porter House Brewery in Dublin. There is also a very close working relationship with Gordon Bailey of World wide Process Plant Ltd. Gordon specialises in the sourcing and refurbishing of brewing and packaging equipment together with a variety of other manufacturing equipment to the world at large.
Together we have an unparalleled experience to offer those who wish to enter the arena of craft brewing . We pride our selves on our achievements in brewing and now wish to help others achieve the same success.
