The historic Plymouth Church sanctuary renovation project was part of a larger project to install a new $2 million dollar pipe organ.
The organ is called Opus 140, built by renowned organ builder C.B. Fisk of Gloucester, MA.
Rafn’s work included new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment, metal stud walls, storefronts, and floor prep for the four traditional copper stills and three stainless fermenting tanks.
The centerpiece of Copperworks distillery is their family of four traditional copper stills, hammered by the hands of expert coppersmiths in the highlands of Scotland at Forsyths, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of distilling equipment.
The distillery also contains three stainless steel fermenting tanks weighing a total of nearly 10,000 pounds. Their job is to ferment un-hopped, all-malt beer into the “wash” which is then ready for the distilling process.
The final area of the distillery is the tasting room where, unlike their distilling equipment which is custom-built to meet Copperworks unique specifications, the highlight is a tall oak antique back bar built more than 120 years ago in Montana. The bar graced the floor of B&O Espresso on Seattle’s Capitol Hill for many years before finding its new home at Copperworks.
Copperworks was named Distillery of the Year in 2018 by the American Distilling Institute.
