Ten Benefits of the BREWHA BIAC Brewing System
The BREWHA BIAC (Brew In A Conical) complete brewing system makes brewing simpler, easier and more enjoyable—it is the simplest way to make the best beer.
Ideally suited for small to mid-sized breweries, brewpubs and taprooms, the BREWHA system significantly reduces the expense of opening and operating your brewery, while producing better beer than can be made in a traditional system.
This unique 5-in-1 (mash, boil, ferment, carbonate and serve all from the same fermenter) system has many advantages, here are just ten of its main benefits.
FEATURE BENEFIT #1
Perfect Sanitation Every Time
Good sanitation (keeping unwanted microbes out) is the single most critical factor for producing great beer. With every BIAC fermenter doubling as a boil kettle, the heat of the boil will provide perfect, chemical-free, heat sanitation in your fermenter every time. Extensive use of chemical cleaners and sanitizers are not needed as they are with other brewing systems, saving time and money, and giving you peace of mind that your beer will taste its best (and nasty chemical residues aren't in your beer)!
FEATURE BENEFIT #2
Smallest Brewing Footprint of Any Brewing System
Mashing of grain occurs directly in the fermenter, removing the need for a separate hot liquor kettle, mash tun and boil kettle requiring up to 70% less floor space in the brewery. Customers have opened successful 30BBL breweries (6 by 5BBL) with as small as a 150sf brew room.
FEATURE BENEFIT #3
Expandable
If more fermentation capacity is needed, simply add another BIAC 5-in-1 conical fermentor (includes stainless immersion heating elements and ETC temperature controller) —the Mash Colander (that comes with the BIAC) can be used to produce more wort/(beer) directly in each additional 5-in-1 fermenter.
FEATURE BENEFIT #4
Scalable
With systems ranging from 20L/5gal to 1760L/15BBL, recipes developed in the small pilot systems can be easily and smoothly adapted/scaled up to commercial microbrewery production using the identical brewing methods and techniques perfected at the smaller scale.
FEATURE BENEFIT #5
Lowest Water Consumption
Uses 67% less water; while traditional brew systems use approximately 5-7 pints of water for every pint of beer produced, the BREWHA BIAC needs less than 2 making it have the lowest water demand of any brewing system. With the heat of the boil sanitizing the fermenter, the extensive chemical scrubbing, cleaning, rinsing and sanitizing that wastes all that water is no longer needed.
FEATURE BENEFIT #6
Economical
More than 30% less equipment outlay and much lower installation expense than the nearest competitor systems. Even though it is made with highest quality components, since there are less vessels, less supporting hardware, less installation and maintenance expenses and less labor expenses, it costs significantly less than a full, traditional 4 vessel system. Customers have opened successful brewpubs for as little as $70k
FEATURE BENEFIT #7
Shorter Brew Day & Lower Labor Costs
With less vessels to setup and cleanup, and less steps in the brewing process (e.g. transferring water/wort) a batch of wort takes up to 25% less time to produce.
FEATURE BENEFIT #8
Flexibility
Can produce all types of beer as the brewer has near infinite control over the brewing process (can also be used for producing kombucha, hard seltzer and even spirits with the optional Shotgun Condensing Assembly) and with heat sanitation, styles like kettle sours can be safely brewed in the same equipment without worry of microbial cross-contamination.
FEATURE BENEFIT #9
Full Control
With a programmable controller and input over each step of the brewing process, there is maximum control over every detail in the brewing process yielding the best product and repeatability.
FEATURE BENEFIT #10
Lowest Risk of Oxidation and Contamination Ensures the Freshest Beer
Since there is no transfer (beer can be served directly from the fermenter), the BREWHA system has the least risk of oxygen and microbial exposure, ensuring that you are serving your customers the freshest, tastiest beer possible.
