What is a Steam Heated Brewhouse?


A steam heated brewhouse uses a steam boiler and steam jackets to heat the mash tun, lauter tun and kettle, providing fast, uniform and precise temperature control during mashing, lautering, boiling and whirlpooling. Compared with direct fire or electric heating, steam allows gentle heating, better protection of wort quality and higher efficiency for medium and large size breweries.
 

Who Needs Steam Heated Systems?


Steam heated brewhouse systems are ideal for:
  • Craft breweries and brewpubs planning 500L–30BBL brewhouses with room for future expansion.
  • Microbreweries and regional breweries upgrading from small electric systems to more efficient steam heated plants.
  • New industrial breweries that require 5,000L–10,000L per batch and fully automated process control.
 
Typical decision makers include brewery founders, head brewers, production managers and investors who need repeatable quality, predictable operating costs and reliable after-sales support.

Steam Heated Brewhouse FAQ

  • Q Why choose a steam heated brewhouse instead of electric or direct fire?

    A Steam heating provides very even, gentle heat through jackets around the mash tun and kettle, which reduces hot spots, protects wort quality and improves flavor consistency. For medium and large breweries, steam is usually the most efficient option because it can also be used for hot water tanks, CIP units and other process needs, lowering overall energy cost per liter of beer.
  • Q What size steam heated brewhouse do I need for my brewery?

    A The right brewhouse size depends on your target annual volume, number of brews per day and beer styles. As a rough guide, 500L–1000L systems are suitable for small craft breweries and brewpubs, while 2000L–5000L and above are common for regional and industrial breweries; CASSMAN’s engineering team can calculate capacity and recommend a configuration based on your business plan.
  • Q Do you supply the steam boiler and steam piping with the brewhouse?

    A CASSMAN supplies the steam heated brewhouse with steam jackets, connection points and basic steam piping layout recommendations. The actual boiler selection, local installation and approval are usually completed by a certified local boiler contractor, and CASSMAN can cooperate with your installer by providing pressure requirements, jacket ratings and recommended steam load data.
  • Q What are the main maintenance requirements for a steam heated brew house system?

    A Regular inspection of steam traps, valves and condensate lines is essential to prevent water hammer, uneven heating and loss of efficiency. In addition, the boiler and water treatment system should be maintained according to the manufacturer’s schedule to avoid scale buildup and to keep the steam system safe, stable and efficient over the long term.
  • Q Can you provide turnkey brewery solutions with steam heated brewhouses?

    A Yes, CASSMAN can design and supply complete turnkey brewery solutions that include the steam heated brewhouse, fermentation and bright beer tanks, CIP system, utilities layout and optional bottling, canning or kegging lines.
