Now with the new 5-in-1 fermenters!

5BBL 6hL Craft brewery complete brewing system equipment and brewhouse have the mash tun, brew kettle and fermenter tanks all combined into on. These 5 BBL brewing systems will brew up to 85 BBL/year (20000pints) on a three week fermentation cycle in just the one fermenter that is included with the 5 BBL brewhouse system. Add additional 5 BBL stainless conical unitank fermenters with heaters (the new BIAC 5-in-1s) to increase capacity. These unique brewhouses take up a fraction of the space that traditional brew systems equipment take up and use a fraction of the water (see this video on opening a small footprint brewery in a desert for more information).

Nothing is better for business than delicious craft beer. And nothing brews delicious craft beer better than the BREWHA® BIAC®.

The exclusive, patented design is the only brewing system where the entire process (mashing, boiling, and fermenting) occurs in the portable conical fermenter unitank saving you space, time, and money. And with the boil occurring in the fermenter (functions as a kettle tank), you achieve perfect heat sanitation in the fermenter without the use of nasty chemicals, ensuring that you are drinking the freshest, best tasting brew possible.

Brewery capacity can be easily expanded by adding additional 5-in-1 BIAC stainless conical fermenter unitanks. Each additional 5 BBL BREWHA BIAC fermenter comes with stainless immersion water heaters, high quality valves, fittings and casters. And the conical tanks can be directly brewed in when used with the mashing and heating hardware purchased with a BIAC brewing system, saving time, space and ensuring perfect sanitation for best results.

The BREWHA Microbrewery system includes a wedge wire false bottom in the Mash Colander and a 14.9psi pressure rating on the 5-in-1 fermenter unitank. With this pressure rating, the tank serves as brite and serving tanks in one; the brew can be crashed, carbonated and served directly from the same tank it was made in, ensuring you are serving the freshest beer possible.

    5bbl fermentor

    Nathan was very responsive and helpful. His product works as promised. There is a learning curve,but once through, the equipment produces great beer with a small foot print.

    Perfect Sanitation. Every time.

    We purchased 4 - 5 BBL BIAC's as our primary brewing production equipment. Having just over 10 brews on the equipment we are loving the quality of beer we are able to produce. There are many benefits of this patented system, what I love MOST about BREWHA is not having to use caustic and other dangerous chemicals after every single brew. Not only saving money on chems but reducing the chance for a chemical accident. The smaller footprint also saves us lease money. Overall the best benefit of choosing Brewha as your equipment vendor is the customer service. Before giving my life to open a brewery, I worked in purchasing and had thousands of customer service experiences. I can tell you 100% BREWHA provides the best customer service experience I've ever experienced. If you are looking at opening a Microbrewery this is one of the most important factors when selecting a vendor in my opinion. Things are going to go wrong. FACT. Having a vendor partner like BREWHA to help you in these situations has been crucial to my business's success. Also, don't chince on the gantry. Get a good one with a good hoist. We ended up getting a walkbehind forklift as well due to our building characteristics in addition to a gantry.

    Convenience and value

    I purchased the 5BBL BREWHA BIAC as the workhorse for a local nano brewery. During the many months of deliberating over the right system, what won me over with BREWHA was the customer service, the abundance of helpful information on the website and price point. The system was also shipped from the West Coast saving a lot on shipping. The equipment recently arrived and I will be testing it out very soon. The packaging of the equipment was also impressive. Nicely organized and ready for installation. I cannot say enough about how Nathan was always available and took all my concerns seriously, credibly and in a timely manner. One of the unique aspects with the BREWHA system was the need for a gantry and hoist. This is also one of the conveniences for brewery operations since it allows a single brewer to brew a batch. I had concerns with fitting the gantry into my 12' ceiling height. I went with a low profile hoist which did end up costing more but relative to the cost of a 2 or 3 vessel brewhouse, it is better value. With the various conveniences of this system I am looking forward to getting busy brewing.

    Excellent customer service

    In opening our brewery there were many considerations, many hoops we had to jump through, many obstacles we had to overcome. Definitely one of the things we never had to worry about was the BREWHA brewing system, not only because it was just a scaled up version of what we had before, but we knew that if ever we ran into problems Nathan was going to be there to support us.

    5BBL Microbrewery BIAC

    Excellent build quality on the equipment. I love the flexibility of being able to Mash, Boil, Ferment and Condition all in one vessel. Excellent customer service. Some insulation on the jackets for the 5BBL units would be really nice as there is a fair amount of condensation buildup. Casters on the 5BBL could use an upgrade
