- Design and customize equipment to meet individual customer’s site and capacity requirements.
- Range of brewing options including half or double batches, high gravity beers, infusion, temperature profile and decoction brewing.
- Kettle heating options including electric, direct fire or steam, depending on site and local utility costs.
- Ability to use either whole hops or pellet hops for formulation and beer style feasibility.
- Top or side manways (with hop dosing port) on cellar tanks.
EFFICIENCY
- Dimple jackets are standard on insulated vessels, providing greater cooling efficiency and added vessel integrity.
- All fermentation vessels feature jackets on the cone for greater cooling efficiency.
- Closed grant system improves runoff performance.
- Fermentation vessels have half batch capabilities.
- Variable speed drives on pumps, motors and agitators.
DURABILITY
- 12 gauge stainless steel on smaller systems, and 11 gauge on larger systems for enhanced vessel strength.
- High-quality selection of peripheral equipment for improved long-term system performance and low maintenance costs.
- Industry-leading 5 year warranty on all fabricated vessels for long-term hassle-free operation.
- Stainless steel work platform for integrity, no rusting and long life.
- Tanks are tested prior to shipment to avoid on-site repairs, guarantee uninterrupted startup and assured vessel performance.
- Stainless steel pump motors.
MAINTENANCE
