Brewing 5BBL of Craft Beer in the BREWHA BIAC microbrewery

Рет қаралды 210,203

Күн бұрын

In this video you will see just how easy it is to use the BREWHA BIAC to brew 5BBL of craft beer. The BREWHA BIAC is an innovative brewing system that takes all of the control that was afforded through the traditional four vessel method of brewing and puts it into one compact system. It is the simplest way to brew the best beer. It takes up less footprint, is easier to clean, easier to setup, has a shorter brewday, and one of the major benefits is that by boiling and chilling right inside the fermenter you gain perfect, chemical free sanitation every time, saving money on labor (each cleaning cycle on a traditional fermenter can take about 4 hours), chemicals (alkali, acid, and sanitizers are not cheap!) and ensuring nasty chemicals do not end up in your beer.

Wouldn't adding water post boil compromise the heat sterilization?

@Brewha 5 жыл бұрын

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.)

This looks amazing, I need to know how much water will i waste per batch (for my city sewage board application)?

@Brewha 6 жыл бұрын

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.

@Lyron7 6 жыл бұрын

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?

@Brewha 6 жыл бұрын

The mash tun and fermenter just need to be rinsed out with the visible 'soils' being removed. The heat takes care of the microscopic.

@Brewha 2 жыл бұрын

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).

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!

@Brewha Жыл бұрын

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

@Brewha 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, during the chill (cold water in the jacket) it settles to the bottom of the fermenter cone and can be removed out the bottom/dump port.

@geom44 7 жыл бұрын

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?

@Brewha 7 жыл бұрын

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.

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?

@Brewha 7 жыл бұрын

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.

So the elements are in the colander? I see.

@Brewha 7 жыл бұрын

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.

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?

@Brewha 5 жыл бұрын

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.

@@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.

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.

@Brewha 7 жыл бұрын

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.

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.
