K40 Hot Liquor Tank - Complete Set (incl. valves & clamps)

Not just hot water — temperature control.

The BrewTaurus K40 HLT is the thermal backbone of the system: a 48.1 L modular stainless hot liquor tank with a built-in HERMS coil for stable, repeatable mash temperatures you can't scorch. Heat water, hold temperature, drive HERMS recirculation — same workflow now, same workflow as you scale. No integrated electronics, no proprietary internals, just brewhouse logic.

Made to order (pre-order). We build in monthly production batches — contact us for the current lead time before ordering.

HERMS coil (included)

This is where a hot-water tank becomes a temperature-control engine — clean, stable heat exchange and easy service.

• SS304, removable for cleaning or reconfiguration
• 1.5" TC connections
• Designed primarily for HERMS mash-temperature control

Port architecture (HLT workflow)

• Heating port: 1× 2" TC (heating-element ready)
• Bottom drain / hot-water out: 1.5" TC for fast, complete drainage and transfer
• HERMS coil in/out: tri-clamp ports for a clean HERMS loop
• Temperature sensing: thermowell via a sanitary TEE at the drain

What's included (Complete Set)

• 48.1 L stainless kettle platform (SS304), configured as HLT · stainless lid with central 1.5" TC port · dish bottom + central drain
• 1× removable SS304 HERMS coil (1.5" TC)
• 1× 1.5" TC elbow · 4× 1.5" TC butterfly valves · 11× 1.5" band clamps + 8× gaskets · 1× 1.5" blind cap
• 1× 1.5" sanitary TEE · 1× 1.5" thermowell · 1× 1.5" racking / pick-up / transfer arm
• 1× 2" TC band clamp + gasket + blind cap · brushed finish

Not included (by design): heating elements, controllers, pumps, hoses/quick-connects. HERMS requires a recirculation pump (your choice). Passivate before first use.
