15 BBL Steam Fired Brewhouse
Our 15 bbl steam fired brewhouse is a great choice for medium to large brewpubs. Both the brewhouse and fermenters can be half-batched, making only 7.5 bbl, so it’s easy to make small amounts of beer to keep brands turning over at the bar. If things get busy, the included 30 bbl hot liquor tank has you covered for double 15 bbl brews into our 30 bbl fermenters. Further modifications can make this brewhouse a true production system turning as many as three to four brews in two shifts, or six in three shifts filling 90 bbl fermenters.
