BrauKon GmbH

Homogeneous, gentle mashing-in

BrauKon AlloySius generates due to the specific guidance of the grist and water a dynamic mixing zone. Thereby, a homogeneous mash is created during the mashing-in process. Even at highest throughput levels and with thick mashes, AlloySius operates completely dust and lump-free.uch bei höchsten Durchsätzen und dicken Maischen absolut staub- und klumpenfrei.

Benefits

• Increased yields
• Shortened mashing work
• Lower iodine index
• Shorter lautering times due to the protection of husk
• Reduced energy requirements for agitation

All-in process automation

BrauKon BrauControl is a process automation solution for the entire brewery production process – from the malt intake through to the bright beer tank and including the CIP unit. A weekly schedule allows the brew cycle to be pre-adjusted; a brewing log documents the brew progression.

Benefits

• Fully automatic brewing process
• Self-optimising fuzzy logic lautering controller
• Investment security thanks to standard Siemens components
• Remote maintenance and remote control by network connection
• Simple recipe creation

Late hopping with cone hops

The easy-to-use HopBack guarantees consistent, effi cient extraction of valuable oils and aromas from cone hops in the hot area. BrauKon HopBack can be used during the wort boiling process as well as between the whirlpool and wort cooling processes.

Benefits

• Specially designed for cone hops
• Flexible usage during the wort boiling process or between whirlpool and wort cooling process
• Optimal transfer of essential hop oils into the wort
• Fully automated capabilities including spent hops disposal
• Inline cleaning possible

Effective dry hopping in the cold area

“Dry hopping”, also referred to as “cold-hopping” in the business, is a procedure with which precious essential oils are released from the lupulin contained in the hops in beer. Dry hopping is performed after the brewing process in the cold area. At this point in time, the beer is finished but has yet to fully mature.

Benefits

• Optimum infusion of essential hop oils into the finished beer
• Increase in yield and taste stability
• No heat added through the omission of the mixer
• Good removal of the extracted hop solids – no filtration problems
• Can be retrofitted at any time

Wort boiling flexibility

Beer is composed of live raw materials that vary from year to year and according to origin. BrauKon SmartBoil is a boiling system that provides brewers with maximum flexibility when boiling wort.

Benefits

• Improved foam stability, gentle heating protects protein fractions
• Defined flow reduces thermal stress, results in less coloration and lower TBI
• Minimized fouling reduces cleaning times and costs
• Wort parameters can be adjusted according to the desired type of beer
• Flexible batch sizes and very small batches possible
