Superior Controls (3 options to choose from)
Engineered controls deliver consistent brewing temperatures and higher quality brews. The controls can run up to 22,000 watts, making double batching possible. The electric elements adjust anywhere from 0 to 100%, giving you complete control of the brewing process. The heat is spread out to avoid scorching the tri-clamp elements, which can be easily removed for cleaning. All of our controls protect elements from burnout by automatically cutting power when the liquid level drops too low.
PRICING FOR THIS 1 BBL BREWHOUSE - Choose from Advanced or Pro Basic Control Options
- 12-inch Touch Screen with Advanced Controls includes a touch screen interface that allows you to operate the elements and pumps with the touch of a finger, utilize an ultrasonic optional flow meter to deliver a precise amount of hot liquor to the HLT, save recipe parameters, automatically start and stop the hot liquor tank at set times, track mash temperatures, and even provide remote control via your smartphone, tablet or computer. The advanced controls also provide the ability to start the HLT before you brew. Walk in to hot water in the HLT.
