Not an appliance — stainless process control.
The BrewTaurus K80 3V is a 93.3 L three-vessel stainless brewing system: a dedicated Hot Liquor Tank, Mash Tun and Boil Kettle, 11.4 kW total heating, dual MP40 pump hydraulics and a counterflow chiller. No shared-vessel compromises — each stage runs independently. Built for serious small-batch output.
Made to order (pre-order). We build in monthly production batches — contact us for the current lead time before ordering.
System architecture
- Dedicated HLT (hot-liquor heating vessel)
- Mash Tun with laser-cut K80 stainless false bottom
- Dual-element Boil Kettle
- Full 1.5" sanitary tri-clamp routing
Operating range, heating & mash
- Nominal capacity 93.3 L/vessel · recommended batch 55–75 L (optimised 60–75) · max knockout 78–80 L · flexible 35–75 L
- 2× 3.5 kW (HLT) + 2× 2.2 kW (boil) = 11.4 kW total · 4× Inkbird C236T (16A EU plug) · four independent 16A circuits
- Heat-up (70 L, 15→100°C): ≈25–35 min · rolling boil at 65–75 L, ~6–8%/h evaporation
- Recommended grain bill 18–25 kg (high-gravity ~28 kg) · mash thickness 2.6–3.2 L/kg · example 22 kg × 2.8 → ~62 L mash
Hydraulics, cooling, oxygenation & cleaning
- 2× MP40 65W pumps (continuous-duty) — HLT→mash transfer, recirculation, sparge, whirlpool/knockout, CIP loops
- Stainless manifold · 1.5" tri-clamp quick-connects · integrated sanitary 4-way cross
- Counterflow chiller (single-pass) for 55–75 L — single-pass to 18–22°C at 10–15°C groundwater; ~10–18 min knockout (70 L)
- Inline oxygenation via 1.5" carb stone · thermowell included · CIP-capable with spray head
Installation: four independent 16A circuits, stable water supply, load-bearing floor (filled system ~200–250 kg).

1V vs 2V vs 3V — which K80 configuration
Same K80 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 |
| K80 1V | 1 (mash+boil) | 35–70 L | 5.7 kW | 1× MP40 | Optional |
| K80 2V | 2 (mash, boil) | 55–70 L | 5.7 kW | 2× MP40 | Counterflow |
| K80 3V | 3 (HLT, mash, boil) | 35–75 L | 11.4 kW | 2× MP40 | Counterflow |
Technical summary
| System type | Three-vessel (HLT + mash + boil) |
| Nominal volume | 93.3 L/vessel |
| Working batch range | 35–75 L |
| Heating / pumps | 11.4 kW · 2× MP40 65W |
| Cooling | Counterflow, single-pass |
| Material / architecture | SS304 · full stainless tri-clamp |
