Not an upgrade — a brewhouse.
The BrewTaurus K220 3V is a 225 L three-vessel electric brewing system in 304 stainless: K220 HLT with HERMS coil + K220 mash tun + K220 boil kettle, 14 kW of Tri-Clamp heating, two MP-40RM pumps and a counterflow chiller. 110–175 L into the fermenter, up to ~64 kg of grain. Full sanitary Tri-Clamp architecture, no proprietary parts.

What's in the system
- Dedicated K220 HLT with HERMS coil — strike and sparge water, plus mash recirculation through the coil for step mashes and mash-out with no direct heat on the grain bed
- K220 mash tun: laser-cut false bottom, 200 × 280 mm grain door with chute
- K220 boil kettle: 2× 2" element ports, centred 1.5" drain
- Heating elements: 2× 3.5 kW (HLT) + 2× 3.5 kW (boil kettle)
- Pumps: 2× MP-40RM
- Stainless manifold · 15× 1.5" Tri-Clamp quick-connects · integrated sanitary 4-way cross · thermowells
- Counterflow wort chiller, single pass · inline oxygenation via a 1.5" carb stone
Not included: heating controllers (see Control below).
Heating & boil
- 2× 3.5 kW (HLT) + 2× 3.5 kW (boil kettle) · one dedicated, RCD-protected circuit per element (4 in total) · heating controllers not included
- Heating pace: boil kettle ~0.5 °C/min at 180 L — mash-to-boil in ≈55–60 min while the HLT heats sparge water in parallel
- Boil: rolling boil at 170–180 L, boil-off up to ~8–10 L/h
Grain & gravity
| Grain for 12 °P (OG 1.048) at 175 L | ~39 kg |
| Maximum grain bill | ~64 kg |
| Gravity at maximum grain, 175 L | ~18 °P (OG ~1.074) |
Mash thickness 2.4–3.2 L/kg; don't go below 2.3 L/kg. The mash tun takes the grain; the boil kettle sets the batch — so extra grain capacity means stronger beer, not bigger batches.
Hydraulics, cooling & cleaning
- 2× MP-40RM for HLT→mash transfer, recirculation, sparge, whirlpool and knockout — MP-40RM specs
- Pumps are not self-priming: mount them below the liquid level and flood the head before starting.
- Counterflow chiller, single pass to 18–22 °C with 10–15 °C mains water; ~18–28 min for 180 L (typical).
- CIP: fit a 1.5" CIP spray head to a 1.5" lid port and recirculate cleaner with the MP-40RM.
Installation: One dedicated, RCD-protected circuit per element (4 in total) — have a qualified electrician size and connect the circuits, stable water supply for the chiller, flat, load-bearing surface (filled system ~450–560 kg). Plan the electrical and structural preparation before delivery.
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 in spring 2027 — it will connect to the existing elements and pumps without replacing any vessel. Until then, use a third-party controller rated for the full current of each element.

1V vs 2V vs 3V — which K220 configuration
Same vessel size, same batch (110–175 L into the fermenter), three brew days. More vessels mean more grain, parallel steps and no lifting. Your configuration is highlighted.
| Config | Vessels | Max grain | Heating · pumps · chiller |
|---|---|---|---|
| K220 1V | kettle + malt pipe | ~57 kg | 7 kW · 1× MP-40RM · no chiller |
| K220 2V | mash tun + boil kettle | ~64 kg | 7 kW · 2× MP-40RM · counterflow chiller |
| K220 3V | HLT (HERMS coil) + mash tun + boil kettle | ~64 kg | 14 kW · 2× MP-40RM · counterflow chiller |

FAQ
How big a batch can I brew?
110–175 L into the fermenter.
How much grain fits?
About 64 kg. A 12 °P beer at 175 L needs ~39 kg; at maximum grain you reach ~18 °P (OG ~1.074).
What power do I need?
2× 3.5 kW (HLT) + 2× 3.5 kW (boil kettle) at 230 V, with one dedicated, RCD-protected circuit per element (4 in total). Have a qualified electrician size and connect the circuits. Power control is external.
Does it come with a controller?
No. A dedicated BrewTaurus control unit is planned for release in spring 2027; until then, use a third-party controller rated for the full current of each element.
Product photos may show a prototype or a different size; production units follow the manufacturing drawing.
Gravity figures assume 70 % brewhouse efficiency (65 % at maximum grain); your mill, malt and process will move them.
