What the fifth vessel actually does
With four vessels, the kettle must finish cast-out and be cleaned before the next boil. A wort receiver holds the clarified wort so the kettle can be cleaned and refilled in parallel. That single change is what takes the platform from six to seven brews a day.
Heat recovery as standard at this size
At 2,500 L with seven brews a day, wort cooling energy is large enough that recovery to the HLT pays back in under three years, so it is specified as standard rather than optional.
Typical Applications
- Breweries planning around a 2,500 batch — At 7 per day the brewhouse delivers roughly 43,750 hl of finished beer per year on a five-day week, which sets the cellar and packaging requirement downstream.
- Sites with 58 of available floor space — The 5 (mash, lauter, kettle, whirlpool, wort receiver) layout fits within 58 m2, and the vessel arrangement determines how much of that space must stay clear for cleaning access.
- Plants committed to steam heating — Steam 1.0 t/h with heat recovery 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
Is five vessels worth it below 3,000 L?
Only if you genuinely run seven brews a day. Below six, four vessels deliver the same output for less capital and floor space.
What is the minimum ceiling height?
About 5.2 m for the kettle and wort receiver, or 4.5 m with a condensate hood and a low-profile receiver.
What is included with the 2,500 configuration?
The supply covers the 5 (mash, lauter, kettle, whirlpool, wort receiver) set, interconnecting sanitary piping, the control panel and CIP routing, with Steam 1.0 t/h with heat recovery 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.
