KIWL 1000 L Copper Clad Brewhouse
The same 1,000 L process platform finished in copper cladding, for brewpubs where the brewhouse stands in the guest area and has to look the part.

Copper is a finish, not a process change
The interior remains 304 stainless because copper contact surfaces need passivation and are harder to keep clean. The copper is a 2 mm cladding over the shell, so yield, efficiency and cleaning behaviour are identical to the stainless version.
Why brewpubs choose it
Where the brewhouse is behind glass in the taproom, copper reads as craft to guests and is often the single most photographed element of the venue. The premium is roughly 25-35 percent over stainless cladding.
Typical Applications
- Breweries planning around a 1,000 batch — At 2-3 per day the brewhouse delivers roughly 5,000 hl of finished beer per year on a five-day week, which sets the cellar and packaging requirement downstream.
- Sites with 24 of available floor space — The 2 or 3, copper clad layout fits within 24 m2, and the vessel arrangement determines how much of that space must stay clear for cleaning access.
- Plants committed to steam heating — Steam 0.4 t/h or electric 40 kW is the practical choice here: it removes the boiler room below 2,000 L per batch, while larger sizes recover the cost of steam through faster ramp rates and tighter control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does copper cladding affect cleaning?
No. Cleaning contacts only the stainless interior. The cladding is wiped, not CIP'd.
Will it tarnish?
Copper dulls over time and is normally lacquered at the factory. Re-lacquering every 5-7 years keeps the finish bright.
What is included with the 1,000 configuration?
The supply covers the 2 or 3, copper clad set, interconnecting sanitary piping, the control panel and CIP routing, with Steam 0.4 t/h or electric 40 kW as specified. Cellar tanks, packaging and building works are separate scope, so the plant can be sized to your own distribution plan rather than a fixed package.
