In modern breweries, the choice of heating system for the mash and wort kettle plays a crucial role in the efficiency and quality of the brewing process.
The indirect heating method is particularly popular, which is done through both the vessel walls and the vessel bottoms. This method offers numerous advantages: it ensures even heat distribution, ensuring efficient energy utilization, and also allows for easy cleaning of the vessels.
The Brewiks mash tun / wort kettle combination is indirectly, electrically heated by a double jacket welded to the side and bottom of the tun. The heating water is pumped under pressure in the circulation of the heating system. It flows through the heating rods installed in the bottom of the tun and then passes through the heating jacket, indirectly heating the contents of the vessel.
The main advantage of indirect heating is that the mash and wort are heated gently and evenly. The smooth surface of the tun walls allows for easy and time-saving cleaning without residues.
Due to the heating surfaces at the bottom of the tun, the wort can be heated shortly after the start of lautering, saving time and energy.
