Are you in the process of setting up or expanding your brewery and wondering how to select the perfect hot water tank size to meet your production needs? The right choice can significantly impact efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall brewing operations. Today I am happy to discuss the hot water tank size with you.



Generally, we will equip the brewhouse with double batches of hot water tanks. For example, a 500L brewhouse is usually equipped with a 1000L hot water tank.

Why are hot water tanks equipped with double batches?

Larger capacity hot water tanks in breweries can provide a variety of advantages, depending on the size of your brewing operation and your specific brewing process. HLT is a key component in the brewing process, used to heat and store hot water for various purposes, for mashing and sparging.

Brewing tank cleaning and preheating

During the wort mashing process, the equipment needs to be cleaned and preheated. The volume of the hot water tank is large enough to ensure sufficient cleaning and preheating water sources before mashing to ensure the hygiene and temperature stability of the equipment.

Mashing and sparging efficiency

A larger HLT helps maintain consistent temperatures during mashing and sparging, which is crucial for obtaining high-quality wort. It ensures you have enough hot water to reach your target mashing temperature and volume, converting starch into sugar more .

Time efficiency

Larger HLT can save time during the brewing process. Water can be heated and held in the HLT while other brewing tasks are performed, reducing downtime and brewing time.

Energy efficiency

Reduces the need to reheat water during brewing. By heating large amounts of water and maintaining it at a constant temperature, you reduce heat loss and save energy costs.

Brewery expansion

If the brewery capacity is expected to be expanded in the future, investing in a larger HLT as early as possible can save you the trouble of upgrading later.
