7 bbl Turnkey Brewery Package

A 7 bbl turnkey system suits brewpubs and small production breweries that need repeatable batches without assembling a plant from loose components. We scope brewhouse, fermenters, cold liquor, CIP, and controls as one package, so piping, utilities, and vessel schedules match before shipment.

Material choices follow the duty. Product-contact vessels are normally SUS304; 316L is available for high-chloride cleaning or specific beer styles. We specify wall thickness, cone angle, jacket area, and leg loading against your floor and ceiling height. Product-contact welds are ground and pickled; internal surfaces are polished to a defined Ra, and exterior finishes range from brushed to mirror. Sanitary clamps, EPDM or silicone gaskets, and DIN/TC connections match your cellar standard.

Temperature control drives fermentation consistency. Glycol jackets on cone and sidewall let you hold ale and lager profiles, crash cool, and stabilize beer before packaging. Working pressure and relief valve settings must match tank design, CIP pressure, and carbonation method. We do not rate a tank for pressure it was not built to hold.

CIP works when the circuit is planned: spray ball, dedicated pump, and return path to the tank. We can supply a small skid or integrate with your central CIP. Refrigerant and beer piping connections are laid out to keep service access clear and avoid trapped low points.

Small brewpubs often choose 7 bbl for throughput and tank count; commercial breweries may use it as a pilot or specialty line. Batch size, beer type, tank count, available footprint, and utility capacity set final configuration.

FAQ

Can we add tanks later? Yes. We plan headers and utility capacity with spare room; confirm future tank count before final pipe sizing.

What details do you need before quoting? Batch size, beer styles, tank count, ceiling height, floor loading, glycol capacity, and CIP preferences. These change jacket area, leg design, and piping.

Which cone should we choose? Standard 60-degree cones work well for most ales and lagers. High-adjunct or hop-heavy processes may need different geometry; tell us the process, not just tank volume.

Tell us your batch size, beer type, number of fermentation tanks and available space. We can recommend the tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your brewery.
