Automated Mashing & Recipe Control
Input your recipe into the HMI touch screen. The PLC system automatically controls the mashing temperature curve, agitator speed, and step mash process, helping each batch follow the same precise brewing profile.
From mashing to wort transfer, automation helps your brewhouse run each key process with greater precision, consistency, and efficiency—reducing manual operation while improving batch control.
Input your recipe into the HMI touch screen. The PLC system automatically controls the mashing temperature curve, agitator speed, and step mash process, helping each batch follow the same precise brewing profile.
During lautering, the system monitors wort clarity, filtration speed, rake depth, and sparging conditions to improve extract efficiency. During boiling, it manages heating intensity and duration, with optional automated hop dosing for accurate hop additions.
After boiling, the system automatically regulates hot wort and cooling water flow through the heat exchanger, ensuring the wort reaches the fermenter at the correct pitching temperature with stable and efficient transfer.
The "brain" of our system utilizes industry-leading Siemens PLC technology paired with a user-friendly HMI touch screen. This allows for recipe storage, real-time data visualization, and one-click brewing operations.
Eliminate the physical strain of manual valve operation. Our fully automatic systems use high-quality pneumatic valves that open and close instantly based on PLC commands, ensuring rapid and precise liquid transfers.
Protect your investment and your staff. The system includes redundant fail-safes, alarm notifications for temperature spikes or pump failures, and automatic shut-offs to prevent overflow or dry-running.
By removing human error from temperature control, timing, and flow rates, an automated brewing system guarantees that your flagship IPA tastes exactly the same, batch after batch, building strong brand loyalty.
