Tiantai Beer Equipment Company proudly announces the successful delivery of a 4000L high-efficiency brewhouse system to Kenya, demonstrating our commitment to delivering advanced, turnkey brewery solutions to the global market. This brewhouse system exemplifies modern brewing engineering by combining continuous brewing capabilities, advanced automation, and high-throughput equipment, tailored for breweries seeking efficiency, flexibility, and superior product quality.
What makes this brewhouse truly remarkable is its ability to support multiple batches simultaneously, allowing continuous operation with up to 10 brewing cycles per day—a capability that sets it apart from standard batch-oriented systems.
I. Brewhouse System Configuration Overview
The 4000L brewhouse system exported to Kenya includes the following key components:
* 1x2500L Cereal Cooker – for rice/corn Gelatinization
* 2x4000L Mash Tuns – for malt mashing
* 1 Filter Press – providing higher filtration efficiency than traditional lauter tuns
* 2x4000L Brew Kettles – enabling parallel or sequential boiling for multiple batches
* 1x4000L Whirlpool Tun – for efficient trub separation and wort clarification
This configuration is designed to optimize production efficiency, wort quality, and operational flexibility.
1.) 1x2500L Cereal Cooker
2.) 2x4000L Mash Tuns
The two 4000L mash tuns form the core of the system. Each tun is equipped with:
- Automated agitator for uniform mash consistency
- Temperature sensors and PID-controlled step mashing
- PH monitoring with automated adjustment
- Level detection to prevent overflow or dry running
Having two mash tuns allows simultaneous processing of multiple batches, reducing idle time and enabling continuous wort production. This multi-batch capability is essential for breweries targeting high daily output.
3.) 1xHigh-Efficiency Filter Press
The integrated filter press delivers significantly higher filtration efficiency compared to traditional lauter tuns, removing solids and spent grains before wort enters the brew kettles. Key advantages include:
- Improved wort clarity and stability
- Reduced haze and better hop utilization during boiling
- Faster transfer of wort to kettles for high throughput
- Automated washing cycles for minimal manual intervention
By combining dual mash tuns with a high-performance filter press, the system supports parallel batch operation, a critical feature for continuous brewing.
4.) 2x4000L Brew Kettles
The dual brew kettles enable breweries to either boil batches sequentially or in parallel, enhancing flexibility and throughput. Each kettle includes:
- Automated temperature control and foam management
- CIP-compatible design for hygienic operation
- Integrated sensors for safety and precise process control
With two kettles, breweries can manage multiple recipes or stagger batches, achieving up to 10 batches per day under optimized operation.
5.) 1x4000L Whirlpool Tun
The whirlpool tun completes the wort preparation process by efficiently separating trub and other solids. Features include:
- Tangential inlet for effective settling
- Temperature monitoring to prevent premature cooling
- Automated discharge to fermentation vessels
The result is consistently clear wort, ready for fermentation, improving beer stability and taste.
II. Automation and Process Control
The 4000L brewhouse system is fully automated, using a PLC-based control system with touchscreen HMI. Automation includes:
- Pneumatic valves for precise liquid and steam handling
- Flow meters for accurate wort transfer
- PH and turbidity monitoring
- Foam and level sensors for safe operation
Automation ensures reproducible wort quality, reduced manual labor, and safer operations, allowing brewery staff to focus on quality control and production planning.
III. Continuous Multi-Batch Operation
The combination of two mash tuns, two brew kettles, and a high-efficiency filter press allows the system to run multiple batches simultaneously. This configuration enables true continuous brewing, maximizing output while maintaining consistent wort and beer quality. With optimized scheduling, this system can handle up to 10 brewing cycles per day, far exceeding typical four-vessel or single-kettle systems.
IV. Part of a Complete Turnkey Solution
The 4000L brewhouse delivered to Kenya is part of a comprehensive brewery and distillery solution from Tiantai Beer Equipment Company. The complete package includes:
- Milling / Grain Crushing System – for consistent particle size and efficient extraction
- Fermentation System – automated vessels for beer fermentation
- Cooling System – glycol-based or water-cooled, for precise temperature control
- CIP Cleaning System – fully automated circulation for all vessels and pipelines
- Central Control System – PLC and touchscreen interface for full process oversight
- 4000L Distillation System – enabling spirits production alongside beer
- 50L Pilot / Trial Equipment – for recipe development and small-scale testing
This integrated approach ensures that the brewery can operate efficiently, maintain high-quality standards, and scale production with minimal disruption.
V. Benefits of Tiantai’s 4000L High-Efficiency System
* Maximum Productivity: Dual mash tuns and brew kettles enable parallel processing and continuous operation.
* Superior Filtration: High-efficiency filter press produces clearer wort and better hop utilization.
* Consistent Quality: Automation and sensor integration maintain uniform wort and beer characteristics.
* Operational Flexibility: Multiple batches can be scheduled simultaneously, supporting diverse recipes.
* Hygienic Operation: CIP-compatible design ensures clean vessels without manual disassembly.
* Turnkey Solution: Integration with milling, fermentation, cooling, control, distillation, and pilot equipment provides a complete brewing and distilling ecosystem.
* Scalable Design: Future expansion is seamless with additional fermentation vessels or brewhouse modules.

This configuration is designed to optimize production efficiency, wort quality, and operational flexibility.
1.) 1x2500L Cereal Cooker
The 2500L cereal cooker is specifically designed for the pre-treatment of adjunct grains such as rice, corn, sorghum, and other unmalted cereals, which are widely used in commercial brewing to optimize recipe formulation and production costs.
Unlike malt, these adjuncts contain starch that must first be gelatinized before enzymes can efficiently convert it into fermentable sugars. The cereal cooker provides controlled heating and continuous agitation, ensuring that starch granules are fully swollen and broken down under optimal conditions.
Once the gelatinization process is completed, the cooked adjunct mash is transferred to the 4000L mash tuns, where it is mixed with malt and undergoes saccharification.
Key Benefits
- Suitable for rice, corn, sorghum, wheat, and other adjunct grains
- Uniform heating and agitation for complete starch gelatinization
- Improved extract efficiency and fermentable sugar yield
- Enhanced recipe flexibility for different beer styles
- Stable and consistent brewing performance
By incorporating a dedicated cereal cooker, the entire brewhouse can efficiently process high-adjunct recipes while maintaining excellent wort quality and production consistency.
