Two Vessel Brewhouse Details
Frequently Asked Questions
The 2 vessel brewhouse consists of two vessels. There are four processes in beer brewing, mashing, lauter, kettle, and whirlpool. Because there are only two containers, each container needs to complete two processes. Under normal circumstances, the saccharification and filtration processes completed in one tank. The boiling and spin-sinking process completed in another tank. Of course, Micet Craft can add a hot water tank on the basis of 2 vessels according to your brewing process. The design of this equipment is simple and the investment is small. Of course, the pipeline design will also be very simple and easy to operate. Also, the height of the 2 vessel brewhouse is low, and there is no need for the height of the site. If you want more information, please contact us.
2 vessel brewhouses are not uncommon in breweries, some have a capacity of up to 50 barrels. 2 vessel refers to a mash/lauter tank and Kettle/whirlpool tank. When brewing, you need to perform mash and lauter in one tank and boil and whirlpool in another tank. This is a very simple and effective brewhouse configuration, which reduces the space and time required by the equipment.
A lot of hot water is required to make beer, so often in breweries a simple tank for holding and heating water, allows the brewer to prepare and hold large quantities of hot water. The water in the hot liquor tank is of great use when brewing in rapid succession and it also recovers the hot cooling water produced during the wort cooling step. Therefore, if your space allows, then Micet Craft recommends that you have a hot liquor tank with twice the capacity of the brewhouse equipment.
If two brews per day are planned or forecast, doubling the capacity of your hot liquor tank is a good idea. Your hot liquor tank needs to be heated with steam/electricity/direct fire, and while it is possible to re-use hot water from the hot waterer in the first brew, there is not enough hot water for the second brew. If you have a hot water system that can provide you with water for a second brew, then the same size as the brewhouse equipment will suffice.
