New Addition Brings Formosa
Plant Greater Production
In a period when many industries
are barely holding the line, word of
three-fold expansion is indeed
news.
That's what has happened in
the Bruce county community of
Formosa, which neatly straddles
the line between Carrick and Cul-
ross Townships, The community's
pioneer' industry. Formosa Springs
Brewery Limited (which is in Car-
rick Township) has completed an
expansion program of building and
addition of modern equipment by
which its output has been increas-
ed to the equivalent of 1,500 cases
daily. This is three times the pre-
vious capacity.
At the week-end Formosa cele-
brated its centennial. The brew-
ery, which was founded by the
Rats family in 1870, is only nine
years younger than the village.
Since 1899 the Heisz family has
been actively connected with its
operation and management, the
plant having been acquired then by
Lawrence I-leisz, grandfather of
Paul, Oscar and Walter Heisz, who
hold the top posts in present day
management. In 1926 the firm
changed from a family operation
to a limited stock company.
but essentially 'differs little 'from
the time of the Pharaos.
The barley is steeped for three
days, then dried and the sprolits
are broken off. This process con-
verts the starch into sugar. Now-
adays no sugar is used in the brew-
ing. When bock beer or tonic stout
is being brewed, the barley is roast-
ed to give the needed color and fla-
vor, Corn "flakes", which resemble
corn meal, is added to maintain
flavor and color. To produce 1100
gallons of brew, 1850 pounds of
malt and 500 of flakes arc used.
Water is added arid the mixture
stirred to a, porridge-like &insis-
tency, then permitted to set for
15 minutes. Steam and hot water
convert further and take out resins
and other by-products. After sett-
ling on an 18 inch filter bed, the
liquid, known as wort, is drawn
off and pumped to the brew kettle.
The residue is sold to area farmers
for live stock feed. There's no
danger of the animals becoming in-
toxicated for, if used in reasenable
time, the -malt .is unfermented.,
Wort is boiled for two labial's,
with hops being added at different
times and yeasts for fermentation,
Ale is produced by top fermenta-
tion process, lager by bottom fer-
mentation. The hops come from
the weat coast of the United States,
and the flavor they add is contain-
ed in the flower or bud, .
The liquid is drawn as rapidly
as possible from the hops, going to
the cooler, then to the fermenter.
There are two brews daily and
there is storage provided in tanks.
These include eight of 2500. gallon
capacity, five holding 4150 gallons
each and three smaller ones which
will retain 697 gallons.
Pumped from the fermentation to
storage, the brew sits for two or
three weeks, after which it is fil-
tered and on its way to the bott-
ling plant, which operates at fill-
ing capacity , of 80 bottles per min-
ute, The bottles are inspected for
cleanliness after being thoroughly
washed by an automatic process,
then filled automatically, passing
into pasteurizing machine which
holds 4100 bottles, They pass
through it in 48 minutes, to be la-
belled and packaged, ready for
storage or shipment.

On Friday the company played
host to newspaper, radio and tele-
vision representatives, most of
whom wore viewing a commercial
operation of this kind for the first
time.
The Formosa company .is one of
the few independents remaining in
the brewing industry. •
Its output is distributed to 125
retail stores in Ontario, as well as
to hotels in the more immediate
vicinity, With a staff of 35, it is
the community's principal employ-
er.
While gleaming equipment is pre-
dorninant throughout, there still
stand some of the huge wooden
vats of earlier days.. These nestle
in a comparatively cool cavern cut
out of the Side of the hill on which
the brewery stands. It was not a
site chosen by chance, for the hill
provided this form of easy stor-
age in early days and. the,. adjacent
mill pond provided an ice supply
to make available the necessary
coolant. Also there was the famous
Formoea water supply.
Two huge trucks can carry the
daily output to ally destination to-
day, hut the company is proud of
the old wagon, drawn by a teatn of
horses, which used to travel as far
afield as Kincardine arid Chesloy
to make deliveries. A day was re-
quired to reach the destination and
a like time to return home. The
horse drawn vehicle appeared in
the centennial parade on Saturday
and was, warmly applauded, giving
old tireers an opportunity to rem-
inisce on the old: -days when it was
a More familiar sight.
