Young & Co.'s The Ram Brewery Tour - Page 4

Again, here's more of the "traditional." This is another entirely different fermenter design. During the main part of the fermentation, the beer foams up considerably. A door is slid into place blocking this opening. Once fermentation begins to subside, the door can be removed and yeast harvested from the fermeter through this opening (the yeast rides up on the foam).

The company mascot, a ram, what else?  There's also a pond within the walls where the brewery's geese and other waterfoul waddle about. The mascot's pen is just across from the stables where Young's keeps 20 horses (mostly shires) to pull the drays. Deliveries to local pubs are still done by horse and dray!
