So you ferment right in your kettle? If you had to do multiple brews in the same week you would have to pump into another vessel to ferment correct? So if you started a micro using this to scale it you would just add fermentation vessels and pump and pitch?
Hi Chris, the Mash Colander can be inserted directly in each additional BREWHA fermenter so you can brew right in them. Although it can be done, there is no need to pump wort into other fermenters, potentially compromising sanitation along the way. This blog shows how: brewhaequipment.com/blogs/howtobrewbeer/18189829-one-biac-endless-possibilities
Hi Chris, the elements are in the cone portion of the fermenter under the Colander. They remain there and can be used at low output (ie1-2%) for warming the ferment if in a cold building or for certain styles of beer. Each additional fermenter that can be brewed in (with all temp control accessories) is about 50% the cost of the full BIAC.
Hi Divjot, if you India is lacking in craft beer, I think you will need a LOT of BBL. :) But seriously, most of our customers for brewpubs of 50-100 seats have six 5BBL fermenters, for over 100 seats and/or distribution then 6-8 7BBL fermenters.
How much vertical clearance does this system need? My building only has a 12' ceiling. Any tips on whether or not that's a deal breaker, not only with the BREWHA system, but with any system? Thanks!
Hi JT -- as you are probably aware, the higher ceiling is only needed directly in the brew area (for lifting the Colander out of the 4-in-1 fermenter) and is not needed where fermenters are pushed for fermentation. And yes, a 12' ceiling has worked for many. You can see more details about ceiling heights with the different sizes on this page (email us at brewing@brewha.com with any questions): brewhaequipment.com/pages/clearance-need-to-accommodate-the-brewha-lift-beam
I do brew in a basket homebrewing right now. I thought about using same system for my future brewpub but the only issue I see is that if I want to ferment several beers at one I would have to buy several of your systems. price wise it doenst make sense. what am I missing here ?
Hi Genaro, you don't need multiple systems, just one BIAC system (which includes a fermenter), and as many additional 4-in-1 fermenters as you like (the brew day hardware from the BIAC can be used in each of the additional 4-in-1 fermenters).
Hi Bill, I prefer to add water pre-boil (during sparge) and control boil rate as needed to tweak final volume, but as long as the water being added is treated (distilled is best) and the temperature at the end of addition is not below 90C/195F it will remove the organisms that will cause problems. (It is important to run boiling wort though the valves during the boil for this same reason -- particularly the bottom dump valve and the racking arm could hold water at the extremity that doesn't heat up enough so flush a bit of boiling wort through the valves to ensure the entire valve is sanitized.)
Hi guys. If I happened to be in a position to open a tap room in BC, and purchased one of your BIAC systems, could you share any advise of what I need in regard of licenses and permits?
A number of BREWHA customers can be hired as consultants to answer these exact questions--see details here: brewhaequipment.com/products/microbrewery-tap-room-brewery-setup-consultant
What about the hops you boiled with? Do they just stay in throughout fermentation and end up resting with the yeast? If so, can you pull yeast off the cone for another batch or is it now infested with hops?
Hi George, whole leaf hops can be contained using our Hop Baskets (on the Accessories page of our website) or a similar device. Especially with the larger systems, brewers will often use pelletized hops as they will settle to the bottom of the cone during chill and can therefore be removed along with break/protein prior to aeration and pitching.
It is certainly possible to use our tanks as a brite/serving tank. For prolonged duration at near freeing temperature we would recommend having us add a layer of insulation to reduce cooling losses/electricity.
The Colander and pump can be cleaned with as little as few gallons of water (sprayed/wiped down) and the same goes for the fermenter. Heat will take care of the rest! (If your water is such that beer stone forms in the fermenter, you will need a traditional chemical clean once in a while -- many customers don't ever need it). I think a generous volume to use for planning would be 2 units of water for every unit of beer produced -- that is one unit for beer and one unit for cleaning. (If you are using tap water for cooling and just dumping that, the volumes will likely be 2 or 3 to one for the cooling--the first unit or two can be captured for the next batch and for cleaning. And of course, if a cold liquor tank is used all that water is recovered.
Hi guys, quick question, would it be easier to simple have an opening at the bottom of the container where the grain is, instead of tilting the vessel to dump the grain?
Hi Gino -- dumping is very easy with the tipping cable to tilt the Colander as it is lowered. We looked at various designs with bottom openings but none were as affordable, simple and efficient.
Hi there, on our specifications page on the website we recommend 3-5BBL for the 5BBL 4-in-1 fermenter, but 2.5BBL is possible--contact us through our website for details: brewha.com
We sell the Japanese made Kito/Harrington SER brand of hoist and trolley -- for the 3BBL the 500kg/1100lb is sufficient. brewhaequipment.com/collections/brew-system-accessories/products/kito-ser-010l
Hi Nathan -- the 'kettle' in that video IS a fermenter. After the boil just chill in place (using the jacket), and ferment. Want to start the next batch? A second BREWHA 4-in-1 fermenter with heaters is all you need.
@@Brewha but you _could_ pump it out and ferment in another fermenter, right? To my mind that misses the unique selling point of the Brewha that you have everything in one vessel.
Cost wise the BIAC 5 BBL system is much cheaper than other 5 BBL systems with a more traditional 3 vessel setup. I love the idea of boiling and fermenting in one vessel but buying multiple 5 bbl systems would add up quickly. Would there be anything stopping you from buying a single 5 BBL BIAC and initially using it primarily as a brewhouse and then fermenting in separate fermenters?
Hi there -- you don't need to purchase multiple BIACs to get all the benefits (chemical free sanitation, labor, capital savings, etc.). You only need to purchase additional BREWHA 4-in-1 fermenters and heating elements and you can brew directly in each one of those (using the one Mash Colander etc.) that comes with the BIAC system. Each additional fermenter with heating elements is about 40-50% of the Complete BIAC price.
With a conical bottom, the protein/hop material naturally settles to the tip of the cone where it can be removed through the bottom valve. But a racking arm in the racking port can also be used to whirlpool the wort.
Most BREWHA customers use the steam vent and move vapor directly outside. There is also our non-mixing steam condensor: brewhaequipment.com/search?q=vent+condensor
Hi J -- with the conical shape of the base, solids will gravitate to the bottom port where they can be removed. If one still wants to whirlpool, they can use the racking arm.
@@Brewha thanks for the quick answer. Would you say that introducing lactobacillus into the brewhouse is less of a concern since you are heat sanitizing the fermenter everytime? Seems intuitive, but any other precautions you'd take?
@@JT-ic9mp Hi J -- yes, that is correct. Without hoses/transfers which can harbor bacteria, and with heat sanitizing the fermenter itself, brewing with bacteria is much easier on the BREWHA system. The only caution is to be sure to flush out your racking and dump port during boil, to ensure that they are properly heat sanitized.
Thanks for the video. does the jacket temp control fermentation? If not, how else have you seen people control temp during fermentation with your system?
Yes, cooling water in the jacket controls fermentation temperature. See this article for more detail: brewhaequipment.com/blogs/howtobrewbeer/11296489-controlling-fermentation-temperature-in-the-3-in-1
where can i buy this system....and do you people have outlets in kenya or can you export to kenya as well......i have been using a chinese system....God only knows.
Noob question, What is the temperature should I maintain the BREWHA , can keep on garage 85F summer time during this process before kegging or should be climate room ? Thanks.
Fermentation temperature is easily lowered in the BIAC by cycling cooling water from the Chiller through the jacket (see 'Temperature Control' section in the 'Learn' area of the website for more info). Regarding fermenting temperature, it depends on the style of beer and yeast used - most lagers should be kept around 50-60F and most ales around 65-75F, but some styles, like saison can be fermented at your garage temperature.
Care should always be taken when using electricity, especially around water. That applies in a brewery with bbls of water, as it does in a kitchen when mixing in a small pot. It is safest to use a GFI protected circuit. If one is concerned they might not be able to operate a drill or mixer safely, they could use a wooden stir stick or mash paddle.
Of course it depends on scale and ingredients chosen, labor costs etc. but a fairly generous allocation is $0.50/pint for ingredients and $0.50/pint for labor, electricity etc. giving a total COGS of about $1.00/pint.

Chris McAuliffe thats about right
I don't think you understand the point of this system.
That's a really nicely put together system. Industrial sized BIAB! I love it!
For Startup, In India how much, BBL required? Indian lacking in Craft beer still not there yet, What are your thought about that?

Impressive how easy is this process. But this fermenter should be quite expensive.
Industry leading quality and performance at an economical price.
Really cool system.
Are the fermenters able to hook up to cellar control systems? Is there a whirlpool feature?
Hi Matt -- yes, there are multiple ports for control connection and whirlpool as desired.

Use a spider or like every other conical, dump them before pitch.

Some folks serve direct from the bright tank. Is it possible / sensible to serve direct from the BIAC?
It is certainly possible to use our tanks as a brite/serving tank. For prolonged duration at near freeing temperature we would recommend having us add a layer of insulation to reduce cooling losses/electricity.
This looks amazing, I need to know how much water will i waste per batch (for my city sewage board application)?
The Colander and pump can be cleaned with as little as few gallons of water (sprayed/wiped down) and the same goes for the fermenter. Heat will take care of the rest!

With "Heat will take care of the rest" you mean that you apply a cleaning cycle with heat or that you don't clean the mash tun (and fermenter) at all?
The mash tun and fermenter just need to be rinsed out with the visible 'soils' being removed. The heat takes care of the microscopic.
