A brewhouse is the part of a brewery where the brewing process occurs. It includes various equipment like mash tuns, kettles, lauter tuns, and whirlpools, which are used for mashing, boiling, and fermenting the beer. The design and configuration of a brewhouse vary based on the type and scale of beer production. It’s a critical component of any brewery, where the initial and key steps of brewing take place to produce the wort, which is then fermented to become beer.
When selecting a brewhouse, it’s important to understand brewing processes to determine output and other specifications. Manufacturers can assist, but your specific output needs must be clear. Different regions have varied preferences, like German breweries favoring traditional styles or American breweries focusing on high gravity and hop usage. Consider the range of beers, filter barrel load, and potential 24/7 operation, affecting brewhouse size. Visit existing craft breweries for insights on equipment quality, supplier reliability, and overall experience. Given the trend of underestimating growth, it’s wise to add 50% capacity to the planned size.
