Copper Clading Brewhouse
Cassman
A Copper Clad Brewhouse is more than just brewing equipment; it's a statement. It leverages a sophisticated manufacturing process—such as electroplating or chemical plating—to bond a layer of pure copper to a robust stainless steel frame. This hybrid design creates unique advantages in brewing performance, brand identity, and operational focus.
This system intelligently combines the strengths of two essential materials.
Hygienic & Durable Core: The interior surfaces that come into contact with your wort are 100% food-grade stainless steel. This ensures maximum corrosion resistance, makes cleaning cycles simple and effective, and guarantees the long-term structural integrity of the vessels.
Functional Copper Exterior: Copper is not just for looks. It is an excellent thermal conductor, promoting even heating and preventing scorching during the mash and boil, which is critical for precise temperature control. Furthermore, copper naturally reacts with and removes undesirable sulfur compounds produced during fermentation, leading to a cleaner, smoother final beer flavor.
In the world of craft beer, perception is reality. A Copper Clad Brewhouse becomes the visual centerpiece of your operation.
Create a "Showpiece" Brewery: The warm, radiant glow of polished copper communicates a commitment to tradition, quality, and craftsmanship. It is the ideal choice for brewpubs, taprooms, and tour-based breweries with open-concept layouts where the brewing process is part of the customer experience.
Drive Brand Value: The striking aesthetic creates a memorable, "Instagrammable" focal point that encourages customers to take and share photos, organically amplifying your brand's reach. It visually reinforces a premium, "hand-crafted" brand identity.
The material properties of copper directly contribute to a better final product, especially for specific beer styles.
Cleaner Flavor Profile: The catalytic properties of copper are renowned for reducing dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and other sulfur compounds, which can produce off-flavors (such as cooked corn or cabbage). This is especially beneficial for producing exceptionally clean, crisp, and bright-tasting beers.
Ideal for Delicate Styles: This system is the perfect choice for lagers, pilsners, Kölsch, and session IPAs, where flavor purity is paramount and there are no strong hop or malt characteristics to hide subtle flaws.
A Copper Clad Brewhouse is the ultimate selection for high-end craft breweries, boutique brewpubs, and destination breweries where aesthetics and quality are intertwined. It is perfectly suited for the following scenarios:
For the Brand-Focused Brewery:Your brand is built on concepts of "artisanal," "hand-crafted," or "premium quality." You need your equipment to visually communicate this ethos, especially in a taproom or brewpub with an open-floor plan designed to engage and impress customers.
For the Brewer of Clean & Crisp Beers:Your product lineup is focused on delicate, clean-finishing styles (e.g., Pilsner, Kölsch, Helles, Session IPA) where precise temperature control and the reduction of sulfur-based off-flavors are critical to achieving the desired taste profile.
For the Quality-First Investor:You understand the value of a premium aesthetic and are prepared for the 15-30% price premium over standard stainless steel systems. You also have the operational capacity to implement a dedicated maintenance schedule (e.g., monthly cleaning/polishing) to preserve the copper's brilliant finish.
For Small-to-Mid-Scale Operations:Your production model is focused on small-to-medium batch sizes (100L - 1,000L per batch) with a moderate usage frequency (1-2 batches per day). This ensures that the brewhouse serves as a high-value asset without subjecting the copper cladding to the extreme wear-and-tear of high-volume industrial production.
