Gilgamesh Brewing worked with Energy Trust to take advantage of technology previously available only to macro breweries by installing a High Efficiency Brewing System, HEBS, in its Salem brewery.

Lee Radtke, a partner at Gilgamesh, learned about the HEBS from a vendor and was immediately intrigued. So he approached Energy Trust about the technology. “I’d heard about Energy Trust on TV and I figured they might be able to help,” said Radtke. “Energy Trust’s industrial energy experts examined the system’s efficiency, performed some calculations and determined that the HEBS was indeed an energy and money saver.”

Because of the HEBS’ efficiency, Gilgamesh qualified for $9,800 in Energy Trust cash incentives.
