Brewhouses and Brewing Equipment

 

Quality Beer, Starts With Quality Equipment

We bring decades of experience and have built over 1,000 brewing systems.  With us, it's not about selling you a system because it's in-stock, it's about ensuring you get the right brewing system for your needs.  We are passionate about craft beer and will work closely with you to provide you the tools you need to succeed in this growing craft beer industry.

 

UL/cUL listed Controls  |  Global Shipping

Our commercial quality brewing equipment offers all the advantages of a fast and easy setup, our skid mount brewhouses come with UL/cUL Listed Controls that meet the nationally recognized standards for safety, which keeps your brewers safe and avoids hassles at inspection time. Our Stout Tanks brewery equipment allows you to choose from various heating options (electric, steam, and gas fired), and select controls consistent with your style of brewing (including basic or advanced touch-screen panels, HERMS or RIMS, automated wort grant controls, variable-speed peristaltic pumps and many more options).


The Brewhouse is the Foundation of your Brewery

Our commercial brewhouses come in multi-vessel configurations, with brew kettle, hot liquor tank and mash tun included. We offer larger free standing 1 bbl to 30 bbl brewhouses and skid mount systems in sizes ranging from 2 bbl to 30 bbls. 

 

Skid Mounted Brewhouses

All of our skid mount brewhouses offer the advantages of a fast and easy setup. They come pre-piped and, except for utility or steam connections, do not require skilled trades to get going, and typically include the following features (unless otherwise requested):

 

  • Advanced touch-screen controls with remote-control capability
  • Insulated mash tun with rakes, plow and grist hydrator (Mash tuns can be made with rakes and plow or be hand stirred).
  • Insulated or non-insulated kettles
  • Glass wort grant with automated pump controls
  • Hard piping and platform
  • Stairs with wheels for easy access under platform

Stand-Alone Brewhouses

A traditional brewhouse offers all the functionality of a skid mount system with less stainless steel, less labor to manufacture, and less weight to truck to your brewery. If you are working with a more confined space in your brewery, a stand-alone brewhouse may work better for you. Here are some of the other advantages of a stand alone brewing system:

 

  • Control over Configuration: Stand-alone brewhouses can be easier to fit into more spaces. If your building has odd shapes and spaces or obstructing doorway locations, it will be easier to fit a traditional brewhouse than a skid mount.
  • Better for Non-Traditional Space: Stand-alone brewhouses also offer more flexibility as you grow or change your process as it is easier to add components or new steps to your brew process if you can position your tanks as needed to fit your space
  • Flexibility: Without the constraints of hard piping, it is easier to modify your liquid flows for unique or trial brewing processes.
  • More Room to Grow: Stand-alone brewhouses also offer more flexibility as you grow.
  • Lower Cost: A traditional stand-alone brewhouse with soft piping offers all the functionality of a skid mount system at a lower cost.
  • Easy setup with our flexible piping – brewers can do it themselves.
  • Insulated or non-insulated kettles.
  • Platforms available.
