What Is Included in the Cost of a Beer Making Equipment Package?


When you compare the cost of a beer making equipment package, the price is only one part of the decision. You also need to know which equipment, tanks, controls, cooling systems, and supporting components are included.

At HGMC, we build commercial beer brewing equipment packages around your production capacity, brewing process, available space, heating method, automation needs, and packaging requirements. This gives you a clear equipment scope before you request a quotation.

What Does a Beer Making Equipment Package Include?

A complete beer making equipment package can cover brewing, fermentation, beer storage, cooling, cleaning, controls, and packaging. The exact configuration depends on your production plan.

Our beer making equipment range includes brewery equipment, fermentation tanks, bright beer tanks, and filling machines, with options organized by capacity, vessel configuration, and application.

Brewhouse Equipment

The brewhouse is the core of the brewing process. Depending on the selected configuration, it can include:
  • Mash tun
  • Lauter tun
  • Brew kettle
  • Whirlpool
  • Hot and cold water tanks
  • Pumps
  • Sanitary piping
  • Valves and sensors
  • Heat exchanger
  • CIP equipment
  • Control system
We offer 2-vessel, 3-vessel, and 4-vessel brewing systems. Our brewery equipment range includes configurations from 200L and 300L systems to 20,000L systems and larger commercial solutions.

Fermentation and Beer Storage Equipment

The brewhouse is only one part of the production system. Fermentation and finished-beer storage also need to match your brewing schedule and target output.

Fermentation Tanks

We can configure stainless steel conical cylindrical fermentation tanks according to production requirements.

The quotation can specify:

  • Tank capacity
  • Tank quantity
  • Manholes
  • Valves
  • Pressure gauges
  • Cooling connections
  • Product fittings
The number of fermentation tanks should be planned around the brewing schedule and fermentation cycle. This helps keep brewing and cellar capacity balanced.

Bright Beer Tanks

Bright beer tanks are used for beer maturation, conditioning, service, and carbonation.

Their capacity and quantity should be considered together with production volume and packaging requirements. This prevents finished-beer storage from becoming a bottleneck.

Cooling, CIP, and Process Systems

Once the main brewing and tank configuration is clear, the supporting systems need to work with the same production plan. These systems are essential for stable operation.

Cooling System

Fermentation requires controlled cooling. Our cooling configurations can include:
  • Glycol water tank
  • Cooling equipment
  • Sanitary centrifugal pump
  • Heat exchanger
  • Cooling piping
  • Insulation materials
The cooling system should be sized according to the number and capacity of fermentation tanks.

CIP System

Cleaning equipment is another important part of a commercial brewery system.

We can configure separate CIP systems for individual tanks when the production process requires greater flexibility. This can help reduce the risk of cross-product interference when multiple tanks are operating.

Pumps, Valves, and Piping

Pumps, sanitary valves, fittings, sensors, and process piping connect the different parts of the brewing system.

Including these components in the equipment plan from the beginning makes the production flow easier to manage and gives you a clearer quotation.

Control Systems and Automation

Automation is another factor that affects the beer making equipment package. The right configuration depends on your production process and operating requirements.

Semi-Automatic Control

A semi-automatic system can give operators control over key brewing operations while retaining hands-on operation where required.

PLC-Based Automation

For projects that require more automation, we can configure PLC-based control systems with functions such as:
  • Touchscreen control
  • Automated water mixing
  • Automated lautering
  • Temperature monitoring
  • Sensors and transmitters
  • Automated valves
Our control systems can be configured around the selected brewing equipment rather than added as an unrelated option.

Filling and Packaging Equipment

If your brewery will package finished beer, filling equipment should be considered as part of the overall production plan.

Bottle Filling

Our beer bottling equipment includes models from 1,000 BPH to 10,000 BPH.

Can Filling

Our beer canning equipment ranges from 300 CPH to 6,000 CPH, providing options for different production requirements.

Keg Filling

We also provide beer keg filling and washing equipment for breweries using kegs as part of their packaging process. You can explore our beer brewing and filling equipment to see the available equipment categories.

The right filling capacity depends on your beer output and packaging schedule. Planning packaging together with brewing and fermentation helps maintain a balanced production flow.

What Determines the Cost of a Beer Making Equipment Package?

There is no single price for every beer making equipment package. The final quotation depends on the equipment configuration and project requirements.

Production Capacity

Capacity is one of the first factors we consider.

Our commercial brewery equipment range includes 200L, 300L, 500L, 1,000L, 2,000L, 2,500L, 3,000L, 5,000L, 10,000L, and 20,000L configurations, with larger systems also available.

Your target output, brewing frequency, fermentation cycle, and expansion plans determine which capacity is appropriate.

Vessel Configuration

We provide 2-vessel, 3-vessel, and 4-vessel brewing systems.

The vessel combination affects the brewing workflow, production schedule, equipment layout, and control requirements. We can recommend a configuration based on your actual brewing process.

Heating Method

Heating needs to be confirmed when the brewing system is designed.

Our 2,000L 2-vessel brewing system supports electric, steam, and direct-fire heating options. The selected method affects utility requirements and the final equipment configuration.

Automation Level

A semi-automatic system and a PLC-controlled system have different control requirements.

We consider the desired automation level together with production volume, operating method, and budget when preparing a quotation.

What Should Be Included in a Brewery Equipment Quote?

A clear quotation should make the equipment scope easy to understand. Before reviewing the final proposal, check whether it covers the main systems required for your production process.

Main Equipment

The quotation can specify:
  • Brewhouse capacity and vessel configuration
  • Fermentation tanks
  • Bright beer tanks
  • Cooling system
  • CIP system
  • Pumps and sanitary piping
  • Valves and fittings
  • Control system
  • Heating method
  • Filling equipment

Project Services

Depending on the project, the scope can also cover installation, commissioning, brewing technology training, and after-sales support.

Our commercial brewery equipmentF solutions can be configured around the production capacity, brewing process, and equipment layout of your project.

How Can You Get an Accurate Beer Making Equipment Quote?

An accurate quotation starts with your production plan rather than a single equipment size.

Production Information

It helps to provide:
  • Target production capacity
  • Batch size
  • Number of brews per day
  • Beer types
  • Fermentation cycle
  • Fermentation tank quantity
  • Packaging format
  • Desired automation level

Project Information

We also recommend providing:
  • Available floor space
  • Building height
  • Power supply
  • Heating method
  • Cooling requirements
  • Installation schedule
  • Certification requirements
With these details, we can develop a more suitable equipment configuration, production layout, and process flow for your brewery.
