K80 1V Brewing System – 86.5L One-Vessel Stainless Brewhouse

86.5L One-Vessel Brewing System.

Mash and boil in a single stainless vessel. 5.7kW heating. MP40 pump. Full tri-clamp architecture.

---

Designed operating range

• Nominal vessel capacity: 86.5 L
• Recommended production range (into fermenter): 45–70 L
• Maximum practical knockout volume: 75–78 L
• Flexible batch capability: ~30–78 L

Optimized for stable operation in the 50–70L range.
Smaller batches are fully supported by adjusting heating power and flow control.

System architecture

• Single vessel design: mash and boil in one kettle
• Laser-cut false bottom: K80 size
• Heating configuration: 1 × 2.2 kW + 1 × 3.5 kW tri-clamp elements
• Total installed power: 5.7 kW
• Routing: full 1.5" sanitary tri-clamp ports

The K80 1V keeps the workflow simple while maintaining full stainless process architecture.

Heating performance

• 1 × 2.2 kW tri-clamp heating element
• 1 × 3.5 kW tri-clamp heating element
• 2 × Inkbird C236T (16A EU plug)

Electrical requirement: two independent 16A circuits.

Estimated heat-up (60 L water, 15°C → 100°C):
≈ 30–40 minutes depending on ambient conditions.

Boil performance (60–70 L):
Stable rolling boil. Expected evaporation ~6–8% per hour (environment dependent).

---

Grain load & mash performance

• Recommended grain bill: 12–22 kg
• High gravity capability: up to ~25 kg
• Recommended mash thickness: 2.6–3.2 L/kg

Example: 18 kg grain × 2.8 L/kg → ~50 L mash volume.
Stable recirculation supported by the MP40 pump within this operating range.

For optimal flow stability, mash thickness below 2.3 L/kg is not recommended.

---

Hydraulics & flow

• 1 × MP40 65W pump (continuous duty capable)
• Full 1.5" tri-clamp architecture
• Stainless elbow and butterfly valves included
• False bottom for grain separation

The MP40 provides stable mash recirculation and strong whirlpool performance.
Designed for reliable transfer and process flow without instability.

---

Cooling

This configuration does not include a counterflow chiller by default.
Standard 1.5" tri-clamp routing allows easy integration of external chilling solutions.

---

Cleaning

All ports are sanitary tri-clamp.
System supports pump-assisted recirculation cleaning.
CIP-capable when fitted with a spray head.

---

Power & installation requirements

• 2 × independent 16A circuits
• Stable water supply (if external chiller used)
• Load-bearing surface (filled system approx. 100–125 kg)
