Milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, whirlpooling, fermenting, maturing, cooling, temperature controlling, cleaning, beer filling etc.

1. Mill of small scale beer brewery

*Function: Grain crushing
*Type: Double roller
*Output: 80-150kg/hr
*Roller Size: Φ155x110mm
*Speed differencial double roller
*Faster Roller Speed: 700rpm

Pros: This kind of grain mill was designed to help you get most of the grain. The nickel alloy rollers with optimized spiral fluting patterns on it, can be easily adjusted to provide suitable gap for making different grain types, which can meet both decoration brewing and infusion brewing.

2. Brewhouse of small batch brewery equipment

When it comes to small batch brewery equipment, the actual beer production should not be very large as well, usually less than 2000L per day. The brewmasters who work in a small scale brewery usually only brew 1-2 batch per day. In this case, two vessel or two body-three vessel brewhouse has been enough.

*Stainless Steel two vessel Brewhouse - Mash/Lauter tun+Kettle/whirlpool tun with Hot liquor tyank

As you know, small brewery system equipment is often installed in a restaurant or brewpub etc in order to provide the freshest beer to clients and restaurant or brewpub etc must be located in very prosperous area.

So, the building space is always limited and the rent is always much higher. In this case, we highly recommend triangular brewhouse in below picture. As you can see, the hot liquor tank is placed between mash/lauter tun and kettle/whirlpool tun in order to save floor area as much as possible.

*Stainless steel two body-three vessel brewhouse - mash/lauter whirlpool tun+Brew kettle with hot liquor tank

It looks two bodies from appearance but actually three vessels as the whirlpool tun is put under mash/lauter tun. This kind of structure is very popular in Europe, particularly in Germany. Firstly, it can do fly sparge without hot liquor tank. The wort after lautering can run into whirlpool tun firstly so that the brew kettle can be used as hot liquor tank to supply sparging water. Secondly, the whirlpool tun is located under mash/lauter tun, so the wort can run into whirlpool tun by gravity instead of pump. It can avoid negative pressure forming in lauter tun. Rather Safer!

*Copper Brewhouse equipment

If you plan to show the brewery equipment to your clients, changing stainless steel exterior shell to red copper must be a good idea. The copper cladding makes the system more luxury and attractive. It can be installed behind a glass partition for attracting more visitors to observe the process of making beer.

3.Stainless Conical Fermenter and Brite tank in small beer plant

If you only brew 1 batch per day, the fermenter and brite tank capacity had better be same with brewhouse so that each tank can be filled within 24 hours, such as 5HL brewhouse with 5HL fermenter and brite tank.

If you brwe 2 batches per day, the fermenter and brite tank capacity can be two times of brewhouse in order to save both budget and floor area, such as 5HL brewhouse with 10HL fermenter and brite tank .

4.Glycol chilling unit of small brewery equipment for sale

The glycol chilling unit includes one glycol water tank and two chillers, which can serve 10-12sets fermenters in total.

We equip two chillers for all of the breweries. Even though there is one chiller does not work, another one can take place of it and continue to cool, so the beer in fermenter would not be affected.

Besides, some experienced brewers prefer cold liquor tank(cold water tank) for cooling the wort in the heat exchanger. If so, two stages heat changer(tap water and glycol water) will be changed to single stage(cold water). The wort can be cooled much quicker than before. Accordingly, the cold water would also be heated to a high temperature. In this case, the cold water passing the heat changer would be recycled to hot water tank directly. This kind flow can save much energy. The most important advantage is the wort would not be polluted when the heat exchange is broken by accident.

5. Brewery Control Panel of small batch brewing equipment
