Industry description

In breweries and distilleries, water is the dominant part of the product and is a key medium in the processes of mashing, lautering, dilution, cleaning, CIP/SIP, steam preparation, and media.auxiliary.

Its composition (hardness, alkalinity, sulfates, chlorides, sodium, iron, manganese, chlorine) affects the sensory profile of beer, distillate, process efficiency, and the durability of equipment.

After analyzing the raw water, beer/distillate styles, used technologies, and quality requirements, we select a system so that water is a predictable and repeatable ingredient in the recipe.

Most common water issues in breweries and distilleries

  • High hardness and alkalinity – scale in brewing kettles, heat exchangers, and coils
  • Chlor and chloramines in tap water – risk of undesirable aromas (e.g., chlorophenols)
  • Iron and manganese – impact on color, taste, and deposits in the system
  • Unstable water quality throughout the year – variationsin the profiles of beer/product
  • High service costs for heat exchangers, boilers, and CIP installations due to deposits

What we offer

  • Filtration and dechlorination (e.g. activated carbon) of raw water for mashing and lautering
  • Softening or partial softening of water for boilers, heat exchangers, and CIP circuits
  • RO systems / mixed treatment with the ability to "build" a water profile for specific styles
  • Solutions for technical water (washing, CIP, steam) to avoid wasting high-quality water where it is not needed
  • Installation, commissioning, training of production staff, and service with monitoring of key parametersparameters

Your benefits

  • Stable water profile – consistent taste of beer and spirits between brews/batches
  • Less scale in boilers, heat exchangers, and CIP circuits – lower maintenance costs
  • Better control over mash pH, efficiency of lautering, and enzyme activity
  • Lower risk of undesirable tastes and aromas associated with water
  • Predictable operating costs of the treatment system and easier planning of service downtimes

Micro-scenarios

  • Craft brewery: filtration system + RO with the ability to blend with raw water, building different water profiles forpilsner, IPA, and stout.
  • Restaurant brewery: softening for the brewing kettle and heat exchanger, dechlorination of tap water, more stable mash pH, and less scale.
  • Craft distillery: RO/demineralization for process water and dilution of distillates, repeatable dilution profile, and less sediment in bottles.
  • Facility with intensive CIP: treatment of CIP supply water and steam boilers,less stone, shorter downtime for descaling and cleaning equipment.

FAQ — frequently asked questions from breweries and distilleries

Will water treatment "kill" the local character of the beer?
The goal is not to produce completely sterile water for every style, but to control the parameters. In many projects, we use RO with blending with raw water ormineralization, to consciously build a profile for specific styles, instead of relying on chance and the variability of the network/well throughout the year.

Collapse

Can the system be connected simultaneously to the brewhouse, CIP, and boiler?
Yes, we design systems with zoning: higher quality water for the brewhouse and dilution, and softened/technical water for the boiler, heat exchangers, and CIP. Allowsto optimize both the treatment cost and the operation of the entire installation in a distillery or brewery.

Collapse

What data is needed for the preliminary valuation?
The following are useful: current results of raw water tests (from the water supply / well), water consumption per brew/day, description of processes (mashing, CIP, steam, dilution), list of main beer/distillate styles, and a few photos of the premises.technical and existing water connections in the brewery/distillery.

Collapse

Will water treatment help reduce scale in the boiler and heat exchanger?
Yes, properly selected softening or other forms of hardness reduction significantly reduce scale buildup, which translates to shorter downtime for descaling, higher efficiency of heat exchangers, and longer lifespan.heating equipment in a brewery or distillery.

Collapse

Will the investment in the water system pay off?
In addition to the purchase and service costs, we take into account, among other things, a smaller number of rejects, stability of the sensory profile, shorter downtime for descaling, longer lifespan of heat exchangers and boilers, and savings on cleaning chemicals. During the initial conversation, we can calculate the approximate cost of 1hl/works in the context of water and show where savings or qualitative gains occur.

Collapse

What does the service and monitoring of water parameters look like?
We establish a schedule for inspections, replacement of consumables, and the method of monitoring key parameters (e.g., hardness, conductivity, chlorine content at the entrance to the brew house). We can prepare simple procedures forof the production department, so that water control is part of the standard quality of brewing and fermentations, rather than a "separate technical issue."
