Brewing Systems

Every Bräu system is electric and tri-clamp stainless, and several sizes run on a standard 120V outlet. Pick by how you want to brew:

  • Single vessel (Unibräu): mash, sparge and boil in one kettle, 10 to 30 gal. The All-In model also pressure-ferments.
  • Two vessel (BräuPro): a mash tun plus a jacketed Unitank, so you brew and ferment without transfers. 5 gal up to 1 BBL.
  • Three vessel (HERMS): hot liquor tank, mash tun and boil kettle with a recirculating mash, 10 to 50 gal.

Not sure which system is right for you?

Answer two questions and we'll point you in the right direction.

Question 1 of 2

Do you want fermentation built into your system?

If you plan to buy a separate fermenter — a conical, a bucket, or a unitank — choose no. If you want your brewing system to handle fermentation too, choose yes.

Common questions

Choosing a brewing system.

Which brewing system should I buy?+

Pick by how you want to brew. For the simplest brew day in the least space, a single-vessel Unibräu. To brew and ferment without moving wort to a third vessel, the two-vessel BräuPro (a mash tun plus a jacketed Unitank). For a classic three-vessel brewhouse with a recirculating mash, the HERMS. Try each brew day in the Brew Day Planner or compare them side by side. Brewing commercially? See pilot brewing systems.

Which systems run on a standard 120V outlet?+

The 10-gallon Unibräu, Unibräu DrainPro and Unibräu All-In, and the 5-gallon BräuPro, come in 120V. Every other size, and every HERMS, runs on 240V. Our electric brewing guide explains the difference.

Can I ferment in the same system?+

Yes, with two of them. The Unibräu All-In pressure-ferments in the brew kettle, up to 15 psi, and the BräuPro brews into a jacketed Unitank that then ferments the batch. The Unibräu, DrainPro and HERMS are hot side only: you transfer to your own fermenter or a Unitank.

How long does a system take to ship?+

Every system is built to order in our Vancouver, BC workshop, typically in 5 to 10 business days, then ships.

What warranty do the systems have?+

2-year warranty on the vessel, every weld and TC port, and on the controller and pump where they're included.

Heating element: 2 years against defects. Not covered: dry-firing (running the element without liquid covering it), and heat or melt damage at the twist-lock plug from a loose or improper connection — a proper, fully seated connection has to be maintained.

Temperature probe: 6 months — it's a consumable. Gaskets, clamps and O-rings are consumables too; replacements for all of these are in stock and cheap.

Lifetime parts support on everything we build — serviced, not replaced.

I was looking at Ss Brewtech. What is the closest match?+

Ss Brewtech is winding down its brewing equipment business. We matched each of its systems, Unitanks and glycol chillers to the closest equipment we make, and listed the standard tri-clamp parts that fit Ss gear you already own: Ss Brewtech alternatives.
