Brewing 5BBL of Craft Beer in the BREWHA BIAC

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 pot method of brewing and puts it into one compact system. It takes up less footprint, is easier to clean, easier to setup, easier on brewday, and one of the major benefits is that by boiling the wort right inside the fermenter, you achieve perfect, chemical-free santiation every time.

Preventing Leaks and Galling in the 4-in-1 Fermenter

The 4-in-1 fermenter lid is held in place with eye bolts. Eye bolts are used over standard nuts as they are easier to open with fingers—no tools are necessary. However, when higher pressure is being applied to the vessel (up to 14.9psi), a tool is likely needed to tighten the lid down so it doesn't leak. For a tighter seal, a screw driver (or other steel bar) can be used to tighten the ring by...

Sparging with the BIAC

While not absolutely necessary, some brewers prefer to rinse or 'sparge' their grain at the end of the mash period to recover as much sugar as possible.

Heating and Chilling Methods for the 5BBL BIAC

There has been some discussion online about the benefit of circulating wort inside the BIAC fermenter during chilling to reduce the chill time so we put it to the test in our largest system, the 5BBL BIAC. We tested on the 5BBL, since being the largest system we currently offer, it has the lowest chilling surface area to wort ratio and therefore (all other factors being equal) the longest chill time of the BIAC systems.

Preventing Deformation in Your Vessel

You need to read this article carefully, especially if you will be using municipal water in the jacket of your Jacketed Boil Kettle or 3-in-1 to chill wort after the boil, or for regulating fermentation temperature. Municipal water pressures often exceed 60psi. The jackets on these vessels are not designed to withstand more than a few psi of pressure. Read this article to prevent your vessel from looking like the picture on to the right.
