For larger craft breweries and brands preparing to enter the national market, a 5,000-litre craft brewery solution represents a key enabler for achieving large-scale production. With a large capacity, it can meet the needs of large orders while ensuring high beer quality. We advise a PLC-controlled four-vessel brewhouse to enhance brewing efficiency and facilitate multi-batch brewing. A wort holding tank can be flexibly integrated into your brewhouse according to your multiple-batch brewing needs. Multiple fermentation tanks can be matched according to brewing and sales plans, suitable for producing craft beer types. With the advanced PLC automatic control system, the brewer can monitor various brewing process parameters in real-time to guarantee that each batch of beer achieves a uniform taste and quality.
