Not an appliance — controlled stainless workflow.
The BrewTaurus K40 2V is a 48.1 L two-vessel stainless brewing system: separate mash and boil vessels, 3.5 kW tri-clamp heating, dual-pump routing and a counterflow chiller. Full stainless tri-clamp architecture, no proprietary internals — built to outgrow all-in-one.
Made to order (pre-order). We build in monthly production batches — contact us for the current lead time before ordering.
Designed operating range
- Nominal vessel capacity: 48.1 L · recommended batch (into fermenter): 30–38 L
- Max practical knockout: ~42 L · minimum efficient batch: ~20–25 L
- Most consistent in the 30–38 L range
Heating, grain & mash
- 1× 3.5 kW tri-clamp element · 1× Inkbird C236T (16A EU plug) · one 16A circuit
- Heat-up (35 L, 15→100°C): ≈25–35 min · rolling boil at 30–38 L
- Recommended grain bill: 8–12 kg (high-gravity ~14 kg) · mash thickness 2.5–3.2 L/kg
- Laser-cut K40 stainless false bottom · example: 10 kg × 2.8 L/kg → ~28 L mash
Hydraulics, cooling & cleaning
- 2× magnetic pump R15 for recirculation, vessel transfer, whirlpool and cleaning loops
- Sanitary 1.5" tri-clamp routing · 11× 1.5" TC ½" quick-connects · stainless manifold + tees + valves
- Counterflow wort chiller (single-pass) — single-pass to fermentation temp at 10–15°C groundwater
- CIP-ready lid port for a spray head · all ports serviceable
Brewhouse-efficiency example
Target 12°P Pale Ale (~1.048 OG), 35 L into fermenter → ~4.40 kg extract needed. Base malt potential ~80% (dry). Implied efficiency: 8 kg → ~69%, 9 kg → ~61%, 10 kg → ~55%. Realistic range 65–75% depending on crush, lautering and sparge control.

1V vs 2V vs 3V — which K40 configuration
Same K40 vessel volume, three workflows. One-vessel is the simplest footprint; two- and three-vessel add dedicated mash/boil (and HLT) for parallel steps and faster brew days. Your configuration is highlighted.
| Config | Vessels | Working batch | Heating | Pumps | Chiller |
| K40 1V | 1 (mash+boil) | 15–35 L | 3.5 kW | 1× R15 | Optional |
| K40 2V | 2 (mash, boil) | 30–38 L | 3.5 kW | 2× R15 | Counterflow |
| K40 3V | 3 (HLT, mash, boil) | 20–40 L | 7 kW | 2× R15 | Counterflow |
Technical summary
| System type | Two-vessel (mash + boil) |
| Nominal volume | 48.1 L |
| Working batch range | 30–38 L |
| Heating / pumps | 3.5 kW · 2× magnetic pump R15 |
| Cooling | Counterflow, single-pass |
| Material / architecture | SS304 · full stainless tri-clamp |
