K80 1V Brewing System – 93.3L One-Vessel Stainless Brewhouse

One stainless vessel. Mid-scale capacity. Serious stainless.

The BrewTaurus K80 1V is a 93.3 L single-vessel electric brewing system: mash and boil in one kettle, 5.7 kW dual-element tri-clamp heating, an MP40 pump and full sanitary tri-clamp routing. Simple layout, full stainless process architecture — built for controlled mid-scale brewing.

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: 93.3 L
• Recommended production (into fermenter): 45–70 L
• Maximum practical knockout: 75–78 L
• Flexible batch capability: ~30–78 L (optimised for 50–70 L)

Heating & performance

• 1× 2.2 kW + 1× 3.5 kW tri-clamp elements (5.7 kW total) · heating controllers not included
• Electrical requirement: two independent 16A circuits
• Heating pace: ~1.2 °C/min at 60 L (5.7 kW) — mash-to-boil (72→100 °C) in ≈23–25 min · Boil: stable rolling boil, ~6–8%/h evaporation

Grain load & mash

• Recommended grain bill: 12–22 kg (high-gravity up to ~25 kg)
• Recommended mash thickness: 2.6–3.2 L/kg (don't go below 2.3 L/kg)
• Example: 18 kg × 2.8 L/kg → ~50 L mash volume

Hydraulics, cooling & cleaning

• 1× MP40 65W pump (continuous-duty capable) for stable recirculation, strong whirlpool and reliable transfer
• Stainless K80 malt pipe (grain basket) · stainless elbow + butterfly valves included
• No counterflow chiller by default — 1.5" tri-clamp ports make external chilling easy to add
• Sanitary tri-clamp throughout · CIP-capable when fitted with a spray head

Installation: two independent 16A circuits, stable water supply (if external chiller used), load-bearing surface (filled system ~100–125 kg).

Control: K-series systems ship without heating controllers. A dedicated BrewTaurus control unit for the K40/K80/K220 is in development and planned for release by the end of 2026 — it will connect to the existing elements and pumps without replacing any vessel. Until then, use any third-party controller rated for 16 A per element. Plug-in controllers such as the Inkbird C236T work as a temporary solution, but are not designed for continuous full-load duty and we no longer supply them with the system.

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.
