KIWL 1000 L Four Vessel Brewhouse
Four separate vessels for a 1,000 L batch size, which is the configuration that lets a small brewery run five brews a day without a night shift.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Vessel configuration | 4 (mash tun, lauter tun, kettle, whirlpool) |
| Heating | Steam 0.5 t/h |
| Material | 304 stainless |
| Brews per day | 4-5 per day |
| Footprint | 34 m2 |
Separate mash and lauter tuns
With a combined mash/lauter tun, mashing and lautering share one vessel and must run in sequence. Splitting them allows the next mash to start while the previous grist is still sparging, which is the single biggest throughput gain in the family.
Is four vessels over-specified at 1,000 L
It can be, if the brewery only brews three times a week. It makes sense when the same 1,000 L platform must supply a growing taproom and wholesale account while the building cannot take a larger kettle.
Typical Applications
- Breweries planning around a 1,000 batch — At 4-5 per day the brewhouse delivers roughly 10,000 hl of finished beer per year on a five-day week, which sets the cellar and packaging requirement downstream.
- Sites with 34 of available floor space — The 4 (mash tun, lauter tun, kettle, whirlpool) layout fits within 34 m2, and the vessel arrangement determines how much of that space must stay clear for cleaning access.
- Plants committed to steam heating — Steam 0.5 t/h 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
What is the labour requirement?
One brewer per shift once commissioning is complete, because the recipe-driven control runs the sequence.
Can it be upgraded to 2,000 L later?
The vessels cannot be enlarged, but the platform and utilities are sized for a second 2,000 L kettle to be added alongside.
What is included with the 1,000 configuration?
The supply covers the 4 (mash tun, lauter tun, kettle, whirlpool) set, interconnecting sanitary piping, the control panel and CIP routing, with Steam 0.5 t/h 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.
