Key Advantages of Three Vessel Brewhouse
High Efficiency
Separating mashing and lautering improves wort extraction and reduces process interference, helping breweries maximize brewhouse performance and output per batch.
Qualité constante de la bière
Precise temperature control, optimized vessel layout, and optional PLC automation help ensure repeatable flavor, aroma, and clarity across every batch.
Évolutif et flexible
The system supports additional fermentation tanks, bright beer tanks, and automation upgrades, making it suitable for growing breweries and expanding product lines.
Energy Saving
Steam or electric heating combined with insulated vessels helps reduce energy consumption while maintaining stable brewing conditions.
Hygienic and Easy Maintenance
CIP-compatible vessel design and premium stainless steel construction make cleaning easier, reduce contamination risk, and support long-term reliable use.
Workflow of Three Vessel Brewing
This workflow supports high efficiency, repeatable brewing performance, and consistent beer quality for commercial production.
1. Mashing
- Grains are mashed in the mash tun, converting starches into fermentable sugars.
2. Lautering
- The wort is separated from spent grain in the lauter tun to maximize sugar extraction.
3. Boiling and Whirlpool
The wort is boiled, hops are added, and the wort is clarified through whirlpooling.
4. Cooling and Fermentation
- The wort is cooled and transferred to fermentation tanks for yeast inoculation.
5. Cleaning
- Les CIP system sanitizes all vessels and piping between batches.
