Making Root Beer! / 15-tanks Heather Lawver 6/10/2004

This is the inside of the first vat, the Malt tank. (Please forgive me if I mess up a few details - I really should have taken notes!) Basically, the barley goes in the top and rests here on this grate. As the barley cooks, the sugars seep down through the grate and are then pumped over to the second vat.
