Ss Brewtech alternative
Ss Brewtech is closing. If you were about to buy one of its systems, or you own Ss gear and need parts, here is the closest equipment we make.
Ss Brewtech's parent company, Middleby, announced on September 9, 2026 that it is discontinuing its brewing equipment group, including Ss Brewtech, with the wind-down expected to be largely complete by the end of 2026. It has not said how warranty claims or parts will be handled after that.
Ss Brewtech made good equipment and a lot of brewers own it. This page matches each of its main products to ours.
Product by product
| If you were looking at | Our closest match | What is different |
|---|---|---|
| SVBS single vessel | Unibräu, 10 to 30 gal | Single vessel with a grain basket, on 120V or 240V. Larger sizes and a bottom-drain version. |
| eBrewing 2.0, 2V | BräuPro Homebrewing, 5 to 20 gal | Two vessels: a mash tun and a jacketed Unitank that boils, ferments and carbonates the same batch, so there is no transfer to a fermenter. |
| eBrewing 2.0, 3V | HERMS Electric Brew System, 10 to 50 gal | Ss Brewtech's 3V kit heats the mash with a RIMS tube. Ours runs the wort through a HERMS coil in the hot liquor tank, so it can't scorch. Two pumps and one controller on a 240V, 30A circuit. |
| 1 bbl Electric Brewhouse | BräuPro 1 BBL | Ss Brewtech lists a 240V single-phase, 60A circuit. The BräuPro 1 BBL runs on 240V single-phase and a 30A circuit, and its Unitank ferments the batch too. |
| Unitank 2.0 or Chronical | Unitank, 8 gal to 1 BBL | Rated to 30 psi working pressure. See the Unitank comparison. |
| Jacketed Unitank, 1 to 3.5 bbl | Unitank 1 BBL; 3 and 5 BBL on waitlist | Standard 1.5" tri-clamp jacket ports. |
| Ss glycol chillers | MCED glycol chillers | Six models from a single tank to a full cellar, built in Canada. |
What you can still buy from Ss Brewtech
On October 5, 2026, the Ss Brewtech store listed the 1 bbl Electric Brewhouse as unavailable, and of the six eBrewing 2.0 Kit configurations only the 10 gallon 3V kit could be ordered. Stock changes quickly during a wind-down, so check with Ss Brewtech for the latest.

FAQ
Is Ss Brewtech going out of business?
Yes. Its parent company, Middleby, announced on September 9, 2026 that it is discontinuing its brewing equipment group, including Ss Brewtech, with the wind-down expected to be largely complete by the end of 2026.
What happens to my Ss Brewtech warranty?
Ss Brewtech has not said publicly how warranty claims will be handled after it closes. Contact them while they are still open.
Will your parts fit my Ss Brewtech system?
Standard tri-clamp parts fit standard tri-clamp ports of the same size. Ss-only parts such as lid gaskets and controller parts do not. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What is the closest match to the Ss Brewtech eBrewing system?
For a three-vessel setup, the HERMS Electric Brew System, which heats the mash through a HERMS coil instead of a RIMS tube. For two vessels, the BräuPro Homebrewing, which ferments in the same Unitank it boils in.
Is Bräu Supply still making equipment?
Yes. Every system and tank on this page is in production, with a 2-year warranty and lifetime parts support.
