This video is about building your own microbrewery. In it, 3 Dogs Brewing Co discusses how they went about opening their own microbrewery in a strip mall in Metro Vancouver. They discuss their vision for the brewery, the brew equipment they purchased, how they converted a former wine shop in a strip mall into a really cool and successful...
The purpose of the BREWHA BIAC system is to provide brewers with a more enjoyable brewing experience by giving maximum control and superior results while simplifying the brewing process and reducing equipment requirements and expense. All of the brewing (heating, mashing, boiling, chilling, fermenting) occurs in just one vessel...
This is a simple and concise overview of the beer brewing process. The BREWHA BIAC all in one complete beer brewing system is comprised of just two vessels (the jacketed conical fermenter and Mash Colander) and is the simplest way to brew the best beer.
This brochure summarizes the brewing process and equipment in four simple steps. Further details on brewing beer with this system can be seen at this link.
This video describes the features and benefits of the Countertop Beverage Chiller and Dispenser, a fantastic countertop beverage chiller that can serve up to 25gal/hr (100L) of perfectly chilled beer, coffee, kombucha, water, or another beverage.
This video demonstrates how to install and use the BREWHA Keg Cleaner. This manual keg cleaner is an economical way to manually clean kegs. The cleaner can stand alone or be set inside a BREWHA Large fermenter (3-in-1 and 4-in-1). Once spears are pulled, kegs can be inverted and dropped down onto the cleaner. Water can be flushed through the keg to rinse them, and then the heating element of the BREWHA fermenter used to heat the water to near boiling, and the BREWHA pump used to circulate the water through the Keg Cleaner and keg to heat sanitize the keg.
One of the useful features of the BREWHA BIAC is that boiling can occur inside the fermenter which makes sanitation a snap—the heat of the boil will sanitize the fermenter so there is no need to chemically sanitize the vessel. All that is needed is to clean the fermenter out well with water and a soft cloth after the beer is removed, and it is ready to go for the next batch...
When the owners of 3 Dogs Brewing wanted to start a community microbrewery in a strip mall, they had to choose brewing equipment that met their budget and fit in their space. This video explores the fulfillment of their dream in starting a brewery and providing a fun and engaging space for the community to hang out in while drinking quality craft beer.
Customers who are bottling their beer sometimes ask how they should add priming sugar in order to carbonate the beer. There are a few ways to accomplish this.
After four weeks of eager anticipation, there are few things more devastating to a brewer than discovering an unwanted microbial infection or tasting burnt/smokey notes in your latest brew. The BIAC takes you a long way towards preventing the unwanted infection, since by boiling in the fermenter it is heat sanitized. However, one needs to be careful...
The BREWHA BIAC complete, all-in-one brewing system is an innovative, affordable, flexible, turnkey system that will grow with your business. The patented BIAC is ideally suited for nano and micro-breweries for a number of reasons—this video tells you why.
Understanding the bittering potential of hops is fairly straightforward. Understanding the aroma and flavor properties of a given variety, however, is often a lot more complex and difficult to assess.
This is why the research project being undertaken this month by Frank Addeo (in conjunction with Yakima Valley Hops and Central Washington University) is particularly interesting...
Brewing with fresh hops has long intrigued me. It is fairly intuitive that fresh hops would have different flavors than dried hops, and being able to grow a key ingredient for your brew has a certain appeal. And, I happen to live in a great spot for it as Vancouver has a good climate for growing hops; hops can be seen in the back yards of many homes around the city wild patches can even be found growing around the city...
(This article was submitted by Ken Noesgaard of Saskatoon, SK. He documents his experience with brewing beer in the BIAC and the steps involved in entering a brewing competition.)
I have been brewing beer since 1985 and all-grain brewing since 1999. Before deciding on my BREWHA BIAC I was mashing in a 10 gallon Gott cooler with a false bottom and boiling in a 20 gallon...
While BREWHA's Fermentor to Keg Racking Hose allows a brewer to easily transfer beer to a keg in an oxygen free environment using the 'beer out' post of the keg, the 'beer out' post on most kegs is through a 1/4" tube which can restrict beer flow and be somewhat time consuming. This article describes an easy method for rapid racking of beer to a keg using a larger diameter hose.
This video describes the different kinds of valves used in the brewing industry and discusses benefits and drawbacks of butterfly and ball valves, threaded and tri-clamp. It helps you make an informed decision on which type of valve is best for your brewing application.
There is a wealth of brewing information on the web and it is growing every day. Arguably one of the best resource continues to be the classic by John Palmer. This book is an excellent resource for new brewers and seasoned veterans as well. While he does not specifically mention the BIAC brewing method, the principles of brewing are clearly and systematically laid out and directly applicable to the BIAC.
In his book he discusses foundational material such as proper cleaning, how to mash grain, and describing...
The BIAC brewing system can be easily scaled up simply by adding additional 4-in-1 fermenters. The Mash Colander, Pump Assembly and Power Box can be used with multiple 4-in-1s to significantly increase total brewing output. For example...
A question that is often asked is whether or not it is necessary to have a copper still for producing the best quality whiskey. Purists argue that there is no other proper way to do it and they point to the fact that is has always been done that way. Stainless steel advocates argue that it has been always done that way, because stainless steel was only 'discovered' about a hundred years ago, and...
Beersmith is a very useful tool for easily creating well-designed recipes. It also keeps accurate records of brew days for best repetition and learning. You can learn more about the Beersmith program here.

With the boil kettle being combined with the fermenter, and since boiling takes only a few hours and fermenting can take 1-4+ weeks, the question of equipment tie-up arises. Is the 3-in-1 (or 4-in-1) going to be really helpful, or will it be a nuisance if one wants to brew a second batch but can't boil in it for weeks while the first batch is fermenting and conditioning?
Learn how to boil, chill and ferment wort all in same vessel. This is the third video in a three part mini-series on learning how to brew beer using the BREWHA 3-in-1. The 3-in-1 is a combined boil kettle and stainless conical fermenter that makes great sanitation easy, yielding the best beer you'll ever ferment.
