What is a turnkey brewing system?

The brewing industry is a complex industry and competition is global. The process of implementing a turnkey brewery system is complex. It starts with determining your own production capacity, developing an efficient brewing line and choosing the right equipment.

A turnkey brewery is made up of several key beer brewing equipment. The mash tun, lauter tun, brew kettle, and whirlpool In the hands of the brewer, the professional grain mill is turned into “wort”. Wort is fermented and finished in fermenters, lagering tanks and bright tanks.

What A Turnkey Brewing System Needs

A turnkey brewery is a complete line that includes all the components needed to brew beer, from the malthouse to the dispensing equipment and the main line. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned winemaker, you’ll need the following equipment to succeed. These items are critical to the success of your business. A turnkey brewery will include everything you need to get started, including the plumbing and fittings needed for a successful brewing operation.

Brewhouse Tank

Choosing the right tank to complement your winery and control system is critical to our turnkey systems. DEGONG is a global brewing technology and equipment manufacturer in China. So that each brewery setup fits your needs and controls. There are options to customize based on your controls, brewery setup, space constraints and brewing style.

Heating System

The heat source is the heart of the winery. Whether electric heating, steam heating is best for a brewery depends on some factors. when deciding on a heat source. Distillery size, available utilities, and initial and ongoing costs all need to be considered.

Electric Heating

• The efficiency of electric heating is close to 100%. Since the heating element is submerged in distilled water or wort, all thermal energy is transferred to the liquid and is not lost by heating the brewery

• Electric heating enables a compact and flexible design, ideal for small spaces

• Low equipment and installation costs

• Precise control for high repeatability and automation

• The brewery is carbon-free

Steam Heating

Steam systems are used in brewing systems of all sizes. We offer turnkey steam brewhouses up to 5000 liters with varying degrees of automation.

• Preferred heat source for large breweries

• Flexible design for tank placement

• Higher efficiency (compared to direct fire heating)

• Larger heated surface area than direct combustion systems

• Higher level of automation and repeatability than direct fire systems

• Ideal for spaces with limited power

• Mashing system: steam heating system with two, three, four, and five devices, optional gelatinizing pot

• Fermented system: fermentation tanks, sake tanks, etc. to meet different brewing needs, supporting operating platforms, takeover boards, and other accessories.

• Cooling system: Glycol tanks are used for beer cooling, ice water tanks, etc. are used for wort cooling, with their jacket or connected to a heat exchanger

• Cleaning system: Fixed CIP system, output range: 50-5000L.

• Filtration system: diatomite filter, membrane filter, or plate and frame filter

• Control system：PLC control box

Technical Advantages

• Automatic production operation

• Reasonable steam system design brings efficiency improvement and energy saving to the whole steam system

• A more reasonable pipeline layout design ensures beer quality and reduces raw material consumption

• The internal heater system improves the wort evaporation rate

• According to the actual brewing process requirements of different customers, the gelatinization pot can be added

• According to the needs of specific regions, the market adopts the process of pressurized boiling to improve the boiling intensity of wort

• According to the specific tank layout, increase the operation platform, take over the board or the pipe gallery system

• High wort yield
