Brewhouse System:

A three-vessel brewhouse is hybrid system that incorporates at least one combination vessel and two dedicated process vessels. For example, a medium sized brewery with a focus on heavily hopped beers might choose to go with a combination Mash Lauter Tun, a dedicated Kettle, and a dedicated Whirlpool. Whereas, someone focusing on lagers or feeding a distilling operation might go with a dedicated Mash Tun, dedicated Lauter Tun, and a combination Kettle/Whirlpool. Three-vessel systems don’t have the same output and versatility as four-vessel systems, but they will still out perform a two-vessel system and provide increased efficiency. 

Mash / Lauter Tank

Used to combine the grist and hot water. A false bottom is then used to extract the clear wort from the malted barley. The spent grains left over can be used for animal feed.

Kettle / Whirlpool Tank

The wort is boiled to a desired specific gravity and hops are added for flavor and bitterness. After boiling the wort is whirlpooled to collect soluble proteins (trub) in the center of the kettle. The clear wort is then pumped through the heat exchanger and into the fermenter.

Hot Liquid Tank
Used to recover energy and heat the water (liquor) needed for recirculation and sparging water onto the grain bed to convert starches to sugar.

Fermentation
The wort is pumped into this vessel and added to the previously pitched yeast and allowed to ferment (typically 3 to 7 days). The fermentation tank can be used as an aging tank or the beer can be transfered to a separate vessel for the aging period (typically 10 to 20 days) 

Advantages of brewhouse:

1. All agitator shaft is 4-125px solid shaft. Very strong.

2. ABB motor for wort pump and hot water pump. World famous brand.

3. Steam jacket can bear 4 bar pressure at most. And we have safety valve on steam outlet. Make sure it is safe enough, no any problem. Other supplier usually don’t have this safety valve.

4. Plate heat exchanger is suspension type, it is so convenient to disassemble it and clean it.

5. We have one hops filter on pipeline before plate heat exchanger.

6. We have one glass balance tank beside lauter tun, it can balance pressure above and below grain bed when filter wort, avoid grain bed is too tight to remove, avoid damaging false bottom due to pressure is too low under grain bed.
