Hot Liquor Tank Benefits and Specifications

What makes the BREWHA hot liquor tank so extraordinary? 

  1. This dual purpose hot liquor tank allows for heating strike or sparge water AND regulating wort temperature during mashing
  2. An easily removed heat exchange coil allows for easiest and most thorough cleanup
  3. Heavy duty stainless steel construction will give you a lifetime of brewing pleasure (and hold its resale value... for when you scale up to a microbrewery)
  4. Built in HERMS (Heat Exchange Recirculating Mash System) system which offers safest control of mash temperature for added security, repeatability and consistency
  5. Easy addition of electric heating element under the stainless steel coil for HERMS setup and heating sparge water 
  6. Two ports for temperature sensors (not included but can be purchased here), one under the mash screen for controlling HERMS system and a second in the middle of the tank
  7. Sanitary tri-clamp fittings which are easiest to disassemble and reassemble
  8. There are no threaded or weld-free or bulkhead fittings that can leak or harbor microorganisms and are difficult to disassemble and clean
  9. No lips or crevices ensures best sanitation possible
  10. Mirror polish finish is the smoothest finish possible leaving no microscopic pores for bacteria to hide out.
