But there is something to be said for quality, consistency, and maybe most of all maximizing the enjoyment of the brewing process. And while plastic buckets and glass carboys, rubber bungs and bulkhead fittings, picnic coolers, outdoor brewing, and soup pots provide a great introduction to brewing, BREWHA equipment will take your enjoyment of the brewing process to a higher level. For years we bre
wed with cheap equipment—we still have some stained plastic buckets and rusty mash screens in storage to prove it—and our friends tell us most of it tasted pretty good. But a while ago we started to question if it wouldn't be easier, take less time, provide better consistency and quality, and be more enjoyable if we used better equipment. BREWHA Equipment Co was founded by a biochemist turned engineer who has been a passionate home brewer for over a decade. His desire and the ongoing mission of BREWHA is to design innovative, high-quality, aesthetically pleasing brewing equipment that improves home brewing in three main ways.
1. BREWHA equipment makes great sanitation easier. Arguably the single most important factor for making great beer is to keep the process free from microbial infection. BREWHA equipment is designed to make great sanitation easier through features such as the following:
a mirror polish finish, which is the smoothest finish possible preventing bacteria from hiding out in microscopic pores in the surface of the vessels
tri-clamp ferrules and sanitary valves, which enable easy disassembly for thorough cleaning
a jacketed boil kettle, which provides the safest, easiest, and most-sanitary chilling mechanism on the market
2. BREWHA equipment is easy to electrify. Ports for adding heating elements and thermowells for digital temperature probes are standard on all vessels. Brewing with electricity provides a number of benefits, including
double batches (10 gallon / 38L) can be brewed indoors
it is less expensive than propane heating
provides the most precise temperature regulation, repeatability, and control of the brewing process
3. BREWHA equipment simplifies the brewing process and makes it more enjoyable (without compromising quality in any way). This is accomplished through means such as
using only the highest quality parts to make the best equipment possible
combining two pieces of equipment into one where possible (like in the boil kettle where the jacket for chilling is also the wall of the boil kettle, or the conical fermenter where trub/yeast can be removed from the bottom of the fermenter avoiding the need to rack to a secondary)
building a system for controlling mash temperature right in the mash tun, giving you the most efficient and responsive control of your mash
This is the ongoing mission of BREWHA Equipment Co. We are constantly growing, and you will see new equipment being rolled out that we believe improves the brewing experience. If you have suggestions for improvements that you think might fit with our mission, we would love to hear from you; send us a note using the form below.
