How many containers does brewhouse use?
For the 3 vessel brewing system, there are two options. One is the combination of mash and lauter, and the other is the combination of kettle and whirlpool. Both of these two combinations have their own advantages and disadvantages:
Next, after transferring the mash to lauter tun, the lauter tun can be the proper dimensions for a thinner bed, better run-off, and efficiency too.
- Option 1 – Three tanks for mashing/boiling, lauter and whirlpool
- Option 2 – Three tanks for mash/lauter, HLT, and kettle/whirlpool
For example, with option 1 the lauter tun is above the whirlpool and so the footprint is for 2-vessels but actually, you have three tanks.
If you want to know about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of brewhouse equipment, you can read the “What are the types of brewhouse?” article. In this article, we have discussed many different types of brewhouse equipment, hoping to help you determine which type of brewhouse to use.

Do you want a grain conveying system?
In addition, in a larger brewing system, the type of malt miller you choose to purchase will also become a consideration. When planning a large brewery, the overall efficiency of the brewery will be the key factor. Consistent crushing is essential to improve the efficiency of the brewery’s production, which means you may need to upgrade the malt miller. Although the cost of upgrading malt miller is relatively high, you will recover the cost over time.
Fermentation tank (FV) and Unitank design
This is not a big problem, but most breweries now choose to use unitanks instead of dedicated fermentation tanks. This also means that you need to configure carbon fossils for these unitanks. Carbonized stone is usually placed directly above the cone in the tank. If you want to know how to choose between unitank and fermentation tank, you can read the article “Bright Tank VS Unitank: Which To Choose?“.
In addition, if you open a brewpub, space will be very valuable, and you may need a “leaner” tank. Of course, if the height of the building allows, you can also choose to stack fermentation tanks. Therefore, you can install the required number of tanks in a small space to achieve sales demand based on sales forecasts.
If your brewing process needs to use a lot of hops, then you need to have a dedicated and large enough hop port. Next, we also need to discuss the location of the manhole you want: do you want a side or top manhole? If you use the top manhole, you may not need a hop port.
In addition, we also need to discuss the work pressure of the tank and spunding. In modern breweries, most tanks have rotary valves, and the working pressure of tanks made in China is usually 30PSI. Also, don’t forget those PRV (pressure relief) valves.
Choosing the fermentation equipment is crucial, for any brewery. This article dives into the discussion on whether to use tanks or unitanks providing insights into their functions, benefits and considerations. With the rise of craft brewing understanding the details of each option can greatly impact the quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness of the brewing process.

Do you want brite beer tanks (BBT)?
If you do prefer to use BBT, then the rule of thumb is 1 BBT for every 5 fermentation tanks. This is just a simple guide, you need to configure BBT according to the beer style you brew. Of course, if you don’t know how to configure it, you can contact Micet Craft. Our engineers will help you solve these problems.
What are the regulations in your country?
If you are in Australia, you need AS1210 certification and provide your tank’s design registration number. If you plan to open a brewery in Europe, then you need CE certification. We will discuss this in the follow-up discussion, and determine the selected manufacturer and their situation.
Do you want a pilot brewing system?
Having a pilot allows you to have fun and make some super niche beers to keep your “crafted” customers happy, without doing large volumes.
Can you store it off-site?
Normally, the warehouse will be set up near brewpub but will be located in a cheaper rental area. If you plan to make canned beer, you will most likely need to hire a delivery driver. This also means that you can transport the cans to the brewery for filling production when needed.
Do you need to filter?
