3000L Craft brewery

For investors seeking to enter the field of mass production while maintaining the characteristics of craft beer, the 3000L craft beer brewery is an excellent choice. It boasts the requisite production scale to accommodate large orders and long-term contracts while retaining the personalization and small-batch customization capabilities of craft beer.

We advise a PLC-controlled four-vessel brewhouse to enhance brewing efficiency and facilitate multi-batch brewing. We also offer a 3-vessel brewhouse combination for customers with limited space. Multiple fermentation tanks can be matched according to brewing and sales plans, suitable for producing craft beer types. With the advanced PLC automatic control system, the brewer can monitor various brewing process parameters in real-time to guarantee that each batch of beer achieves a uniform taste and quality.

It is advisable to select a location that is conveniently situated in proximity to a logistics hub or a major transportation route, to facilitate the prompt shipping of the product to various target markets. Beer packaging can be cans, bottles, and barrels.
