The 5BBL Micro Brewing System serves as the ideal transitional solution between homebrewing hobby setups and full-scale commercial production, offering semi-automated controls in a portable, space-efficient 5BBL (586L) batch system.
Designed to empower brewpubs, restaurants, and beverage innovation labs with professional-grade brewing capabilities, it includes a fully integrated three-vessel brewhouse (mash/lauter tun, kettle, whirlpool) paired with matching fermentation tanks—all operated via an intuitive touchscreen PLC interface. This system balances accessibility for novice brewers with the precision needed to produce consistent, high-quality craft beers.
Parameter | Specification |
Batch Size | 5BBL (586L) |
Heating Method | Electric/steam with direct-fire option |
Cooling System | Single-stage glycol jacket with ±1°C accuracy |
Material | 304 stainless steel with copper-clad exterior (optional) |
Footprint | 15–20㎡ (including fermentation tanks) |
Energy Consumption | 15–20 kWh per batch (electric) / 50–70 kg steam (steam) |
User-Friendly Interface: Pre-programmed recipes for popular styles like IPA, stout, and lager simplify operation, with adjustable parameters (mash temperature, boil time, hop additions) to accommodate experimental brews.
Scalable Design: Built with modular components that support expansion to 10BBL+ capacity by adding fermentation tanks or upgrading the brewhouse, making it ideal for startups planning gradual growth.
Energy Recovery: A high-efficiency plate heat exchanger recovers 60% of thermal energy during wort chilling, transferring heat from hot wort to cold strike water and reducing energy waste.
Aesthetic Appeal: Customizable exteriors with options for brushed stainless steel or polished copper cladding serve as visual attractions in brewpubs, enhancing customer engagement with the brewing process.
Low Maintenance: Tool-free quick-disconnect fittings and self-cleaning valves streamline daily sanitation routines, reducing cleaning time by 30% compared to traditional systems.
Brewpubs: On-site brewing operations create a unique selling proposition, attracting customers with exclusive, fresh-to-tap beers and transparent production processes.
Beverage Innovation Labs: Supports development of niche products such as low-alcohol beers, gluten-free varieties, and fruit-infused craft beers tailored to evolving consumer preferences.
Educational Institutions: Provides hands-on training for brewing students using industry-standard equipment, bridging classroom theory with practical production skills.
Agricultural Cooperatives: Facilitates collaboration between brewers and local farms to create grain-to-glass beers that highlight regional agricultural products, supporting local economies.
Customizable Packages: Flexible configurations allow addition of dry hopping systems, carbonation units, or small-batch canning lines to meet specific production needs.
Technical Training: On-site workshops led by certified brewmasters cover system operation, recipe development, and troubleshooting for both brewing and maintenance staff.
Ingredient Sourcing: Curated partnerships with premium maltsters, hop suppliers, and yeast labs offer cost-effective access to high-quality raw materials for signature brews.
Remote Diagnostics: Cloud-connected PLC systems enable engineers to monitor performance, diagnose issues, and adjust settings in real time, minimizing production interruptions.
