What is the difference between the different combination of brewhouse

The brewery equipment manufacturing is quite different,we need to design it according to
different brewing intention of every brew-master. We normally do not tell customer which
design is best, as the best one is the most suitable one. So If you inquire us, you will find
that we have almost no stock. Because compared to selling standard products, we hope to
provide customized equipment according to different scenarios.

There are some customers ask us what is the difference between the different combination
of brewhouse. I shared some of my ideas as below:

Combined 2-vessel brewhouse: Below 1000L.
A. Mash/lauter/hot liquorcombined tank+kettle/whirlpool tank
B. Mash/lauter/whirlpool combined tank+ kettle
C. Lauter/whirlpool combined tank+mash/ kettle vessel
Other customized design

Main features:
1. a compact design required a smaller space
2. save some cost
Cons:
1. The equipment is higher, so the ceiling should be higher.
Some design can not be realized

Normal 2-vessel brewhouse: Below 1500L.
A. Mash/lauter Tun+ kettle/whirlpool Tun
B. Germany style: Mash/kettleTun (whirlpool function) +lauter Tun.

Main features:
1. Simple equipment, so smaller investment
2. Simple piping design, easy to operate.
Main cons:
1. It is suitable for infusion mashing (increasing the mash temperature via mixing with hot
water at different temperatures in A design or via a direct heating in B design.
And not good for decoction
2. It almost allows to brew 1batches per day

3-vessel brewhouse: more used in 1000L-3000L
A. Mash tun+ lauter tun+kettle&whirlpool tun
B. Mash/lauter tun+ kettle vessel+ whirlpool vessel
C. Mash/kettle vessel+ lauter vessel+ whirlpool vessel

Main features:
1. Suitable for 2-3 batches per day
2. both infusion and decoction mashing are available .
Cons:
1. Since the extra vessel is added, the budget is more.
2. Bigger installation area.

4-vessel brewhouse: more used above 2500L
Mash tun+ lauter tun+ kettle+ whirlpool

Main features:
1.Suitable for brewing 3-4 batches per day.
2.Suitable for both infusion and decoction mashing.
Cons:
1.Since the extra vessel is added, the budget is more.
2.Bigger installation area.
