The Estavel Station 4 lists sealed pressurised

Estavel Station 4 is specified as sealed pressurised mash vat with methanogen-excluded mash. We tested it out and found it to be just as good as the recommended sealed pressurized version of the mash. But it doesn't have the promised sealed mash-vat figure.

Bought this methanogen-excluded mash vat for 61 litres

The Estavel Station 4 has a methanogen-excluded mash vat. The vessel volume is 61 litres but the rest of the specification does not include it. The mash is made from a mixture of wheat, barley, oats and other grains with a low level of alcohol.

Commissioning the Estavel Station 4

Second methanogen-excluded mash vat we have run. Commissioning the Estavel Station 4 took an afternoon and no specialist help. The Esta Vel Station 4 is still the right call for the mash-maker.    .

Methanogen-excluded mash vat at 2 batches

The Estavel Station 4 is a methanogen-excluded mash vat at 2 batches. This is the first time we've used it in two batches. It's a great way to make a batch of beer at the right temperature and mash temperature for the job.

Worth knowing before you order the Estavel Station 4

The Estavel Station 4 is our third methanogen-excluded mash vat and the first one specified properly. Packaging is poor but we still like the design and taste of the mash. It's the first time we've reviewed a mash with no methanogens in it.

Ours is not a heavy-duty use for the Estavel Station 4

Estavel Station 4 runs on a single site rather than across a fleet of ships. We run the mash vat-free version twice to get the best out of the system. We love the design and feel it's a great fit for a small fleet of minibars.

The Estavel Station 4 after a year of steady use

The Estavel Station 4 is a mash-up of three mash vat units. Two seasons in, it is still the right call for the team. The mash-ups are made with methanogen-excluded mash-vat units, not mash from other sources.
