10+ BBL Direct Fire Brewhouse ( $12,000 )
Used Product Ad posted 1 week ago in Brewhouse or Brewing Systems by Michael Bedrosian
I have a 3 vessel brewhouse for sale. It’s an old converted dairy system set up for direct fire. It’s a 10 BBL system but the kettle and HLT are oversized, so you could probably squeeze out 15 BBLs for most beers. We got it before we settled on a location for our brewery, and it ended up being too big for our space so we’re forced to downsize.
Here’s the details:
- 325 gallon mash/lauter tun with grain out door and 3 piece slotted false bottom
- 595 gallon kettle with tangental whirlpool and a ton of ports on the sides
- 650 gallon HLT, also with plenty o’ ports
- “China Special” 2-stage heat exchanger. The data plate is in Chinese but the thing is a beast. Ports for wort in/out, cold water in/out, and glycol/chilled water in/out.
The system was designed for “turkey fryer” style burners and an open firebox (burners are included) but they’re hot and super inefficient. You could use those if you get a control system for the burners from Ward Burner, but a better idea would be to insulate the bottom and enclose it to make a proper firebox. That way you could use a forced air burner like the Midco Economite EC300. We were going to go that route but we weren’t able to fit the thing into our brew space.
Shipping/rigging fees are up to the buyer. We have a local rigger though that is very reasonable that we could connect you with. It also just barely fits on a trailer so you may be able to get away with not using a flatbed. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like additional pictures!
