KIWL 5000 L Brewery System
A complete 5,000 L brewery system where brewhouse, cellar and packaging are specified together, because at this scale a mismatch between them is the main source of lost margin.
Key Specifications
| Batch size | 5,000 L per batch |
|---|---|
| Vessel configuration | 5 |
| Heating | Steam 1.6 t/h with heat recovery |
| Material | 304 stainless |
| Brews per day | 8 per day |
| Footprint | 85 m2 brewhouse area |
System scope rather than equipment list
A 5,000 L plant producing 40,000 L a day needs cellar capacity, a centrifuge or filter, and a packaging line that can absorb the output. Specifying these as one system is what prevents the common outcome of a brewhouse that runs four days a week because packaging cannot keep up.
Where the money goes at this scale
Utilities and cellar typically exceed the brewhouse cost. Heat recovery, CO2 recovery and effluent treatment are the three items most often deferred and most expensive to retrofit.
Typical Applications
- Breweries planning around a 5,000 batch — At 8 per day the brewhouse delivers roughly 100,000 hl of finished beer per year on a five-day week, which sets the cellar and packaging requirement downstream.
- Sites with 85 of available floor space — The 5 layout fits within 85 m2 brewhouse area, and the vessel arrangement determines how much of that space must stay clear for cleaning access.
- Plants committed to steam heating — Steam 1.6 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
What annual output does it support?
Roughly 50,000-100,000 hl per year at eight brews a day, five days a week.
Is CO2 recovery justified?
Generally yes above 4,000 L per batch. Fermentation CO2 covers carbonation needs and the payback is typically 18-36 months.
What is included with the 5,000 configuration?
The supply covers the 5 set, interconnecting sanitary piping, the control panel and CIP routing, with Steam 1.6 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.
