ELECTRICALLY-FIRED BREWERY CONTROLS

Electric brewing is not new – brewers have been been using electricity to power their brewhouses for more than 20 years. The original New Belgium brewkettle used three long ceramic sheathed elements for wort boiling. What has changed is the degree of precision temperature control brewers can achieve with modern electric elements and control systems.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

In electric brewing the heat is applied internally, rather than externally, as is the case with direct-fire burners or steam jackets. The heat source is electric elements in stainless steel sheathes that are inserted in the tank – hot liquor tank and/or brew kettle — through triclover ports in the side of the tank. Because the elements are immersed in the liquid, nearly 100 percent of the energy applied to the elements is transferred to heating the water or wort.

 OUR CONTROLLER

To take full advantage of the precision and repeatability that electric brewing offers, brewers often add a control panel to be able control the percentage of output of each element and obtain temperature control to within 1 degree Fahrenheit.  The Electrical Brewing Control system designed by Brewery Design &  Controls provides the precision temperature control most useful in hitting and maintaining mash temperatures in either single infusion or step-mash regimens using a Herms coil within the HLT.
