› Ravenous’ products have about a two-week turnaround from the time they are made until they are ready for consumption. It takes between two to three employees to make a single unit of product at Ravenous.
› Brewing begins with the grain, which is milled and added to Ravenous’ mash tun. The grain is then steeped in warm water for about an hour, which creates the wort. The wort is then transferred to the kettle, where it is boiled and spiced with hops and other ingredients. Once the boil is done, the beer is transferred to a fermentation tank, where yeast is added and the beer is left to ferment for about seven days. Once the beer is finished fermenting, it is cooled, carbonated and packaged for market.
› Ravenous Brewing has two full-time employees and 20 part-time employees.
