1500L craft brewery is an ideal choice for investors who want to expand their business scale but do not want to over-invest. A 2- or 3-vessel brewhouse is recommended for cost-effective and space-saving operations. Additionally, a complete 4-vessel brewhouse is available for those seeking a precise process and flexible brew batch. Multiple fermentation tanks can be matched according to brewing and sales plans, which are suitable for producing craft beer types.
Process characteristics
Ingredients handling (optional) method: dry milling
Heating method: electric / steam / direct fire
Heating with steam: the temperature can be precisely regulated within the range of 45-76°C at a rate of 1-1.2°C/min and within the range of 52-100°C at a rate of 1.2-1.5°C/min.
Mashing: infusion mashing / decoction processes
Lautering: Chollima system
Boiling: Standard atmospheric boiling / low-pressure boiling / internal calandria with the heatwave
Removal of the coarse break: whirlpool tank
Wort Cooling: one stage cooling
Fermentation process: closed pressure fermentation
Fermenter cooling method: ethylene glycol or alcohol via dimple jackets
The cooling speed is 0.8-1°C/hour for 5°C-18°C and 0.05-0.2°C/hour for 0°C-5°C. The cooling parameters can be set to achieve precise control of cooling speed at different stages.
The whole cooling system utilizes a 33% hybrid refrigerant, which is a -5°C ethylene glycol. This refrigerant provides efficient cooling, while also maintaining a low operating temperature.
Glycol water supply temperature: -3℃~-5℃ Glycol water supply pressure: 3-4 bar
Hot water supply temperature: 82-85℃, Hot water supply pressure: 3-4 bar
