Base or Complete?
Base ships with everything you need to brew + ferment — vessels, element, controller, pump, full tri-clamp hardware, tap-water cooling. Complete adds the five accessories most BräuPro owners buy in the first six months. Buying the kit saves $200 versus picking these up individually later.
How will you cool wort to pitch temp?
A counterflow chiller is required for the cold side — without one, you can't move from boil to fermentation. The Unitank jacket is for fermentation cooling, not knockdown.
How will you hold fermentation temp?
Glycol cools the jacket only — it holds the fermenting beer at setpoint, it does not knock down boiled wort. That's the counterflow's job (above). Tap-water cooling always ships with a 5 psi PRV.
Add a brew table?
Welded stainless table sized to your mash tun, with the pump and plumbing mounted underneath. Matched automatically to the size you picked above.
Two vessels. One complete process.
A dedicated mash tun and a jacketed conical Unitank work in tandem. Wort recirculates through the mash bed, drains to the Unitank for boil, chills through the jacket, and ferments in place. No lifting. No transfers. No second fermenter to clean.
Heat strike water
The Unitank's element heats strike water to your target mash temperature. Acts as your HLT — no third vessel.
Mash
Pump draws wort from the Unitank and delivers it over the top of the grain bed in the mash tun. Continuous recirculation for even, repeatable conversion.
Lauter & sparge
Wort drains from the mash tun to the Unitank through the sloped bottom drain. Sparge with the optional arm or skip it — your call.
Boil
The Unitank's element brings wort to a rolling boil — sanitizing the vessel completely before fermentation. No chemical sanitizer required.
Chill
Cool through the jacket using tap water or glycol — or pass through the counterflow chiller for rapid knockdown to pitch temperature.
Ferment & package
Dump trub through the conical. Pitch yeast. Glycol jacket holds fermentation temperature precisely. Transfer to keg under pressure via the included transfer line.

If a single-vessel system or a different scale fits better, here's where to look.
About BräuPro Homebrewing.
I'm in the US — will I get hit with tariffs, duties, or brokerage fees?+
No. Every price on this site includes free continental US shipping, and we prepay all duties, tariffs, and brokerage on your behalf. You won't get a courier collect-on-delivery for surprise import fees days after your order lands. The price you see is what you pay. (Alaska, Hawaii, and international freight — contact us for a quote.)
How is BräuPro different from the Unibräu All-In?+
BräuPro is a two-vessel system — dedicated DrainPro mash tun + jacketed conical Unitank fermenter. The Unibräu All-In is a single-vessel system — one kettle that does everything. BräuPro gives you proper mash architecture, dedicated fermenter geometry, and the ability to brew the next batch while the current one ferments (with a second Unitank). Unibräu All-In is the smaller footprint and lower entry price.
Which size should I buy?+
5G (3–6 gal finished) for small-batch experimentation, NEIPAs in tight spaces, or 120V-only locations. 10G (5–10 gal finished) for standard 5-gallon batches with headroom — needs 240V for full 5,500W element. 20G (10–20 gal finished) for larger batches, taprooms, or pilot capacity. All three share the same architecture and accessories.
Do I need glycol or is tap water enough?+
Honest answer: depends on where you live and the time of year. Tap water works for ales at 60–70°F when your cold-tap supply runs colder than your set point — that's usually fine in winter and across northern climates year-round. The challenge is summer: in warmer regions tap water often runs 67°F+, which makes holding even an ale tough. Glycol is required for lagers, cold conditioning, and reliable summer ale fermentation in southern / warm climates. You can start with tap water and add the MCED BEF-02 glycol chiller later — the jacket fittings don't change.
What's the difference between Base and Complete?+
Base ships with everything needed to brew + ferment — mash tun, jacketed Unitank fermenter, heating element, controller, brew pump, full tri-clamp hardware, and tap-water cooling. + Unitank Pro Kit adds the five accessories most BräuPro owners buy in the first six months: spunding valve (natural carbonation + pressure transfer), carbonation stone + 6" TC spool (in-vessel CO₂ stone that mounts to the butterfly valve), steam condenser (brew indoors with no exhaust hood), HopDrop (oxygen-free dry hopping under pressure), and a CIP spray ball (closed-loop sanitation). Buying the kit saves $200 versus buying these accessories individually later.
Can I brew the next batch while one is fermenting?+
Not in the same Unitank — the fermenter is occupied. Most serious BräuPro owners add a second Unitank fermenter in the same size so the brewhouse stays free. Same fittings, same controller, same workflow — just one extra vessel for parallel fermentation.
What ships, and when?+
Ships from our Vancouver, BC workshop. Most orders out in 3–10 days, free continental US shipping — duties, tariffs, and brokerage prepaid. We palletize for international freight; you'll get tracking and a delivery appointment.
What's the warranty?+
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.
