UPDATE: They are now out! Link at bottom!
A match made in brew Heaven. The Low Oxygen experts have partnered with the small brewery experts, to bring the community the absolute best top of the line modular systems SPECIFICALLY designed for low oxygen brewing!
We took some time because we REALLY wanted to get this perfect. After many back and forth conversations and many (many) beers, the vessels have been sent out for fabrication. We expect to see the first kettles and systems to be ready around mid-June. Without further ado we will give you a teaser and peak of the new “Low Oxygen Brewing Line”. This is the Largest of the Systems.
We will start off with the Hot Liquor Tank:
Features:
- 100% SS, and TC fittings
- HERMS Configuration
- In the rear there are 4-1.5″ TC ports. One for the element, one for a CO2 purge port, to purge empty vessels (lower), one for the Thermowell, and lastly an upper purge port for purging the HLT with water in it (head space).
- The lid is sealed with a gasket, and includes a 3″ TC to boil out of, also 2-1.5″ TC’s for a Vacuum port, and a PRV.
- Tangential input.
- Sight Glass
- Bottom Drain
- Also this kettle includes an extra 1.5″ TC connections for a sample valve if you need to pull any samples(so you don’t have to open your sealed chamber)
- Legs ( wheeled version and standard “pot” configurations also available)
Next we have the Mash Tun:
Features:
- 100% SS, and TC fittings
- HERMS Configuration
- In the Rear there are 4-1.5″ TC ports. One for the Strike water, one for a CO2 purge port, to purge empty vessels (lower), one for the Thermowell, and lastly an upper purge port for purging the MT with wort in it (head space).
- The lid is sealed with a gasket, and includes a 3″ TC, also 2-1.5″ TC’s for a Vacuum port, and a PRV.
- Tangential input.
- Sight Glass
- Bottom Drain
- Also this kettle includes 3 extra 1.5″ TC connections for a sample valve if you need to pull any samples(so you don’t have to open your sealed chamber), For Vorlauf, and finally one for sparging if you desire.
- The best part about this is the integrated hooks for mash bags/ mash filters. They are self contained inside the tun to allow the gaskets to seal.
- Legs ( wheeled version and standard “pot” configurations also available)
Lastly, we have the Boil Kettle:
Features:
- 100% SS, and TC fittings
- In the Rear there are 4-1.5″ TC ports. One for the element, one for a CO2 purge port, to purge empty vessels (lower), one for the Thermowell, and lastly an upper purge port for purging the BK with wort in it (head space).
- The lid is sealed with a gasket, and includes a 3″ TC to boil out of, also 2-1.5″ TC’s for a Vacuum port, and a PRV.
- Tangential input.
- Sight Glass
- Bottom Drain
- Sloped kettle bottom, and integrated whirlpool trub dam.
- Also this kettle includes 2 extra 1.5″ TC connections for a sample valve , and a center bottom drain for easy clean-out.
- Legs ( wheeled version and standard “pot” configurations also available)
A lot of time and thought went in to these vessels, and we are confident they will be THE best brewing vessels on the market. We still stand behind making the best beer possible, and now we designed the kettles to do it in!
