5000L 50HL Brewhouse/5000l Brewing System/50bbl brewery equipment

A brewhouse may refer to a company that brews beer or the building used for this process, but it’s also a collective term for all the components a brewery will need for the initial brewing stage.

These components typically include the following:

• • Mash mixer
  • Lauter tun
  • Hot liquor tank
  • Boil kettle
  • Whirlpool

A larger brewery may use a five-vessel brewhouse, in which each of these components is a separate vessel.

A microbrewery is more likely to use a two-vessel brewhouse that combines the mash mixer, lauter tun and hot liquor tank into one vessel, and the boil kettle and whirlpool into another vessel.

The first of these vessels is used to mash the malt and other grains and extract the liquid wort. The second vessel in a two-vessel brewhouse is used to add hops and other ingredients to the wort and boil the resulting mixture. The wort is then allowed to settle, allowing solid particles to be separated from the liquid.

Fermentation Tanks

Fermentation is the next step in the brewing process after the wort has been prepared.

Fermentation tanks hold the wort while yeast converts to sugar in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. These tanks should have a cone-shaped bottom, which facilities the process of recovering the yeast for later use.

Jacketed fermenters allow you to control the mash temperature more easily, but they’re also considerably more expensive.

Stout Tanks and Kettles manufactures fermenters in a range of sizes, primarily for smaller breweries.

Its ½ bbl non-jacketed fermenter sells for a little over $400, while its 4 bbl is a little under $2,500. The jacketed fermenters start at over $3,200 for a 1 bb fermenter and go up to nearly $6,000 for a 5 bbl unit. Larger models up to 20 bbl require individual quotes.

Brite Tanks

Beer is filtered and pumped into another tank known as a secondary fermentation or brite tank after the fermentation process is largely complete.

A brite tank allows the beer to further clarify and carbonate before being transferred into a bottle, can or keg for consumption. Some brewpubs also serve beer directly from a brite tank.

Kegs

Brewers still need kegs for storing beer, even if they eventually transfer it to bottles or cans. They may also sell or serve beer in kegs to bars and restaurants, or serve it directly from kegs in a brewpub.

Kegs also need to be washed to prevent beer from spoiling or tasting bad. Smaller breweries may be able to get away with washing kegs by hand, but larger ones will prefer the greater efficiency and reduced costs of a keg washer.

ESTIMATING THE COST OF BREWERY EQUIPMENT

From equipment costs to brewhouse size, building expenses and licensing, the cost of running a brewery can range drastically based on your specific operation.

When estimating the price of your investment, it’s important to consider the cost of brewery equipment for your brewing operation. Fortunately, there are various types of equipment in which to choose as well as brewery equipment financing options to help you get off the ground and running.

Four-vessel systems offer the highest throughput and the most versatility. With proper vessel sizing, well laid out hard piping, and well-designed controls these brewhouses can be extremely large and only require one person to operate it. The ability to make more beer with less labor input, paired with gains in efficiency and quality control make the four-vessel brewhouse a worth while investment for breweries that intend to produce a lot of beer.
