Commercial brewing equipment is usually equipped with a 2 vessel or 3 vessel brewhouse. Of course, some large breweries will must a 4 vessel brewhouse. Below, Micet Craft will explain to you what are the characteristics of these types of brewhouses.
Advantages of 2 vessel brewhouse system
- The equipment is simple and the investment is small;
- The pipeline is simple and easy to operate;
- The equipment height is low, and the requirements on the site height are not high;
Disadvantages of 2 vessel brewhouse system
- When the wort is filtered, only suction filtration can be used (that is, the mash is in the filter tank and the wort is drawn through the wort pump). The filtering speed of this filtering method is relatively slow, and the requirements for the winemaker are higher. Once operated and used, it may result in the compaction of the lees layer, difficult to filter, and in severe cases, the sieve plate will be deformed;
- According to the different brewing processes, some customers will add a stirrer in the Kettle/Whirlpool tank, because the kettle/whirlpool tank has the function of the whirlpool tank, and the stirrer will affect the whirlpool effect;
- The spent grains washing water can only be prepared in advance and stored in a container or fermentation tank;
- In the mashing process, only the method of adding two mash together can be used. This mashing method has fewer temperature steps and higher requirements for malt quality.
- Generally, only two batches can be brewed a day, and the winemaker may need to stay up late to work overtime.

Combine 2 tank 3 vessel brewhouse
Combine 2 tank 3 vessel brewhouse advantages
- The equipment is more compact and the floor space is small;
- The heating area of
the steam jacket of the kettle tank is generally large, and the heating speed is fast; - The lauter tank is above the whirlpool tank, which can realize natural filtration (wort is filtered by gravity). This filtering method has a fast filtering speed and a high brightness of the wort. Even if the operation is wrong, there will be no compaction of the grains layer and deformation of the sieve plate;
- The whirlpool tank is a vertical cylindrical tank design. Because it is a dedicated whirlpool tank, the spinner is designed as a tangential spinner, so the separation effect of hop lees and hot coagulum is better;
- When the wort is filtered, the kettle tank can prepare the spent grains water, and the spent grains can be washed while filtering. This operation can shorten the mashing time by 30-50 minutes, and the use rate is higher than that of the 2 vessel brewhouse system;
- Generally, 2 batches can be brewed every 12 hours. If you consider staying up late and working overtime, you can brew 3 to 4 batches a day. At the peak of beer sales, more craft beer can be brewed in the shortest time;
Combine 2 tank 3 vessel brewhouse Disadvantages
- The equipment is generally higher than the traditional 2 vessel brewhouse equipment, which has certain requirements for the height of the site;
- The equipment investment is higher than the traditional 2 vessel brewhouse equipment. Also, Combine 2 tank 3 vessel brewhouse equipment has a limit on the volume, the largest is 1000L;
- mash tank+lauter tank+kettle/whirlpool tank
- mash/lauter tank+kettle tank+whirlpool tank
- mash/kettle tank+lauter tank+whirlpool tank
- mash/kettle tank+lauter/whirlpool tank+hot liquid tank
Advantages of 3 vessel brewhouse
- The daily brewing batch is like Combine 2 tank 3 vessel brewhouse equipment;
- The height of the equipment is relatively short;
- A variety of combinations can be selected, and it can be transformed into a 4 vessel brewhouse in the later stage;
Disadvantages of 3 vessel brewhouse
- Only suction filtration can be used for filtration;
- The equipment occupies a large area and requires more investment;

Advantages of 4 vessel brewhouse
Disadvantages of 4 vessel brewhouse
- The equipment is relatively large in size and area. Under current transportation conditions, this type of equipment can only achieve a largest of 3000L. No matter how large the volume is, on-site construction is required;
- The equipment investment is relatively large;
