5 BBL Steam Fired Brewhouse
Our 5 bbl steam fired brewhouse is a great choice for smaller brewpubs, or those who want to have many different beers on tap. Both the brewhouse and fermenters can be half-batched, making only 2.5 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 10 bbl hot liquor tank has you covered for double 5 bbl brews into our 10 bbl fermenters. The image, case study, and gallery are of a 7bbl system which is almost indistinguishable from a 5bbl system visually. The 5bbl brewhouse is a new offering from Crawford and we will post updated photos as soon as we have them available.
