These include grain silos, mills, weighing systems, mash tuns, pumps, lauter tuns, wort grants, coolers and aerators, brew kettles, yeast handling systems, fermenters, bright beer tanks, filters, and a variety of other tanks for mixing and storage..

For this first brew you’ll need:

• An airlock.
• A tap or siphon.
• A bottle stick.
• A long stirrer.
• Caps and a capper and some means to clean and sanitise your equipment.

Commercial beer like craft beer, is produced through the brewing steps of grinding, mashing, filtering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. However, commercial beer may add some other accessories (such as rice, corn, etc.) to supplement the sugar, so the taste is worse than that of craft beer.

The 10-barrel brewing system is equipped with heating methods, including electric, steam, and gas heating. HGMC also offers a variety of turnkey control methods.

The cost of a 10 BBL brewhouse chamber may vary depending on the function and specification of the glycosylation chamber. A basic, entry-level 10 BBL brewhouse chamber costs about $75,000, while more advanced high-end models can cost as much as $200,000.
Some factors that affect the cost of a 10BBL brewhouse chamber include the type of brewhouse chamber (e.g. electric, gas, or steam combustion), the type of brewing process (e.g. batch or continuous), the level of automation, and the type of finishing equipment (malting plant, granary, wort cooler, etc.).

The combination of commercial brewery equipment can be 2 vessel, 3 vessel and 4 vessels depending on your brewing capacity and production request per month; The largest 4vessel commercial brewery equipment can reach a production capacity of 80bbl perday. Micet will provide turnkey solution for commercial brewing equipment, we will also provide compalted services from your brewery space layout design to the brewhouse vessels and piping design in 3D models, so that you can see how your brewery will look like after it installed.

Most newly opened commercial breweries will set the size of the brewhouse to 10-30 barrels (1 barrel 117L) with fermentation tanks and bright tanks of the same size.
For new breweries whose sales and growth cannot be determined, adjusting the size of the brewery is a balance. In the beginning, using a relatively large brewhouse will put pressure on the initial expenditure, and using a smaller system will make it difficult to meet the demand and increase the cost of each batch of raw materials. You need to combine your brewing process and business growth to estimate the size of your brewhouse.
Considering the available space in the brewery, if there is not much space to add more fermentation tanks and bright tanks in the future, it is unwise to start with a large brewing system. You also need to combine the available space in the brewery and local regulations to determine the size of the brewhouse.

This is not a question that can be answered very accurately, because every brewery has different requirements. If your brewery is too small, your space will be crowded. If your space is too large, you will waste a lot of money on startup costs and the space will not be well utilized. But we can provide you with some tips: 3BBL~5BBL brewery equipment needs about 300~500 square feet, and 7BBL~15BBL brewery equipment needs about 550~1200 square feet. Of course, if you need relatively accurate numbers, welcome to leave us a message.

Let’s take a common designed 10BBL beer equipment system as example,the list of the brewing system as below:

10BBL Mash/lauter tun

10BBL Kettle/Whirlpool tun steam heated

20BBL Hot water tank

3m3 wort pump and hot water pump

Stainless steel 304 wort pipes

10m2 plate heat exchanger

Operation platform

4 pieces 10BBL fermentation tanks

Glycol water tank

Chiller

Cooling pipes and valves

CIP unit

Control cabinet with semi automatic control system

This complete 10BBL beer equipment cost is around 75,000＄-200,000＄,there also also some factors affect the 10BBL beer equipment cost such as the valves and pipes which need to be designed as per your brewing requirements and brewery site floor plan,the steam boiler price and other special requirements from you.

The 10bbl brewhouse combination type.There are 10BBL 2-vessel brewhouse,10BBL 3-vessel brewhouse,10BBL 4-vessel brewhouse,10BBL 5-vessel brewhouse…each type of the brewhouse price has big difference

The 10bbl fermenter quantity you need.As we all the know,the more you need,the more you need to pay.If you don’t have enough money to buy the full quantity of the fermenters,we suggest you buy a couple of them at the first stage,when your brewery growing up,you can add them in the future.
