We proudly presents a newly engineered 5000L brewhouse specifically customized for whisky distillation. Built for a domestic distillery project, this system integrates reliable steam heating, advanced temperature control, and fully automated CIP, ensuring both traditional whisky craftsmanship and modern production efficiency.
The 5000L brewhouse includes the following key configruations:
Cereal Cooker
Designed for high-starch materials such as corn, wheat, and sorghum, this vessel provides strong agitation and efficient steam heating. It achieves precise temperature steps required for cooking, ensuring full starch conversion and consistent mash quality.
Mash Tun
Optimized for whisky-style multi-step mashing. Steam jackets and accurate control valves guarantee smooth temperature ramps through enzymatic rests. The openable manway, internal CIP spray balls, and sanitary design ensure easy inspection and reliable cleaning.
Lauter Tun
Equipped with a laser-cut false bottom, adjustable rake system, and optimized wort runoff channels, the lauter tun delivers clear wort and stable lautering efficiency. The rake lifting and rotation mechanisms ensure uniform grain bed conditions and protect against stuck mash.
Weak Wort Holding Tank
The system features a dedicated Weak Wort Tank for collecting the second runnings. This allows the brewery to improve extraction efficiency, reintroduce thin wort into the next batch, and maximize raw material utilization—an important factor in whisky production economics.
Steam Heating & Plate Heat Exchanger Integration
The entire brewhouse uses steam jackets as the primary heating source, offering:
Fast and smooth temperature increases
Energy efficiency and precise control
Safe, uniform heat distribution
Protection of grain flavor and wort quality
For process transitions requiring rapid cooling, a plate heat exchanger is integrated into the loop. This allows the system to fine-tune wort temperature before pumping to the fermentation.
Fully Automated CIP Cleaning
Clean-in-place is crucial for distilleries, ensuring repeatable, hygienic, and residue-free production. The system is equipped with:
Dedicated CIP pipelines
Automatic valve switching
Caustic, acid, and hot-water cycles
Programmable cleaning parameters
360° coverage rotating spray balls
With one-touch CIP automation, operators can reduce manual work, eliminate cleaning variability, and ensure consistent sanitation throughout the brewhouse.
Built for Modern Whisky Distilleries
This 5000L brewhouse is specifically engineered for domestic whisky producers seeking:
High extraction efficiency
Stable flavor profiles
Reliable automation
Energy-saving steam heating
Hygienic and durable stainless-steel construction
Smooth integration with downstream fermentation and distillation
Every detail—from vessel geometry to piping layout—is designed to enhance both the quality and the throughput of whisky mash production.
Over years of experience in brewery and distillery projects, Tiantai has become a trusted partner for customers who value quality, reliability, and technical support. This 5000L whisky mash system reflects our dedication to delivering turnkey solutions tailored to each customer’s needs.
Beyond whisky systems, Tiantai also provides complete turnkey solutions for beer brewing equipment, kombucha production systems, fruit wine processing lines, beer fermenter, filtration system, packaging line and a wide range of customized beverage equipment. With years of engineering experience and continuous innovation, our equipment has earned the trust and high praise of customers both in China and around the world.
