PORTSMOUTH -- Smuttynose Brewing Co. expanded its beer-making operations in Portsmouth this week with the installation of a new 200-barrel fermenter. 

The stainless steel tank was crafted in Canby, Ore., by the company JV Northwest, a longtime supplier of brewery equipment to Smuttynose. It was driven cross-country to the Smuttynose brewing facility off Route 1 in Portsmouth, a journey of some 3,183 miles.

The 7,200-pound tank was installed by a crew of contractors using a 12-story crane at approximately 10:30 a.m. Thursday. 

The new fermenter will allow Smuttynose to produce an estimated 3,500 additional barrels of beer each year, according to spokesman JT Thompson. It joins three other fermentation tanks that were installed in February as part of an expansion plan at the 225 Heritage Ave. facility.
