7bbl turnkey brewing equipment

7barrel_ brewing_ system

A 7-barrel (bbl) turnkey brewing equipment is a complete brewing system designed to produce beer on a commercial scale with a volume capacity of approximately 7 barrels per batch. A turnkey system typically includes all the necessary components and accessories required for brewing, from mashing to fermentation. Here’s what you can expect to find in a typical 7bbl turnkey brewing equipment:

Mash Tun:

Vessel for mixing milled grains and hot water, initiating the mashing process to convert starches into fermentable sugars.

Equipped with a direct-fired burner underneath or within the vessel to apply heat for mashing.

Lauter Tun:

Used for separating the liquid wort from spent grain solids post-mashing.

Features a false bottom or a lautering screen to allow wort separation while retaining the grain bed.

Brew Kettle/Whirlpool:

Functions for boiling the wort and performing whirlpooling to separate solids.

Equipped with electric heating elements or steam jacket or gas burner for boiling the wort and achieving precise temperature control.

15BBL Hot Liquor Tank (HLT):

Stores and heats water used in mashing, sparging, and other brewing processes.

Equipped with electric heating elements or steam jacket or gas burner for heating water to specific temperatures needed for different brewing stages.

Pumps, Plumbing, and Valves:

Facilitate the movement of liquids (wort, water) between vessels and throughout the brewing system.

Plumbing connects vessels and components, directing the flow of liquids.

Control Panel:

Manages and regulates the brewing process, controlling the firing of burners, temperature control, and other brewing parameters.

May include controls, sensors, timers, and safety features for precise and safe brewing operations.

Heat Exchanger:

Rapidly cools down the hot wort by exchanging heat with cold water, preparing it for fermentation.

7BBL and 15BBL Fermentation Tanks:

Vessels where the cooled wort undergoes fermentation, converting sugars into alcohol and other compounds.

Cleaning and Sanitation Equipment:

Systems for cleaning and sanitizing brewing vessels and pipelines between batches.

Utilities and Support Equipment:

Chiller units, glycol systems, and other utility equipment may be used to maintain specific temperatures during different brewing stages.

A turnkey brewing system is designed to streamline the brewing process, making it more efficient and consistent for commercial brewers. It provides all the essential equipment and components needed to produce beer from grain to glass.
