METO’s 1000L brewery equipment is a 10HL production system for craft breweries combining taproom sales with local distribution. The reference configuration uses a three-vessel brewhouse, 1500L hot liquor tank, six 1000L fermenters, industrial glycol cooling, portable CIP and configurable controls. Cellar, utility and packaging capacity are planned together for stable daily operation.
Procurement-friendly configuration designed as a connected brewing architecture—brewhouse throughput, fermentation capacity, cooling load, cleaning efficiency, and controls are matched to minimize commissioning risk and stabilize output.
Add-ons: BBT, more fermenters, PLC/HMI automation, packaging integration.
We can provide layout suggestions, utilities lists, and integration notes to reduce on-site commissioning time.
Commercial brewhouse designed for stable extraction, fast lautering, consistent boiling, and repeatable whirlpool separation. Built with sanitary TIG welding, polished internal surfaces, and steam jacket heating.
Hygienic construction, pressure-rated accessories, and stable glycol cooling help reduce batch variation and labor dependency in daily production.
For a 1000L brewery, fermentation capacity—not brewhouse size—often becomes the first production bottleneck. A practical fermenter plan ensures stable weekly output, avoids rushed tank turnover, and keeps your cooling and CIP systems properly sized.
Recommended fermenter volume ≈ Batch Size × Fermentation Days ÷ Brewing Interval (days)
Example: If you brew 1000L/day, and fermentation averages 14 days, you need about 14,000L effective fermentation volume.
| Brewing Pattern | Typical Fermentation Cycle | Suggested FV Qty (1000L) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 brews / week | 12–14 days | 4–6 | Good for taproom + small distribution |
| 3–4 brews / week | 12–14 days | 6–8 | Most common commercial planning range |
| 5+ brews / week | 10–14 days | 8–12 | Recommend BBT + stronger glycol load |
Actual FV quantity depends on beer styles (ale/lager), conditioning time, dry-hopping schedule, cooling capacity, and packaging workflow.
Matched utilities reduce commissioning risk. Cooling capacity, CIP coverage, and controls are designed to support stable daily production and scalable expansion.

To avoid delays during installation and commissioning, we recommend confirming your site utilities early. Share this checklist with your engineering team—our proposal will match your local power, steam, water, and drainage conditions.
Tip: If you don’t have a layout yet, send a site photo + approximate room dimensions—our engineers can suggest a preliminary arrangement.
A well-designed 1000L brewery should not be a dead end. Our systems are engineered with a clear expansion path, allowing you to increase capacity to 2000L or beyond by adding tanks and utilities—without replacing your existing brewhouse.
| Stage | Brewhouse | Fermenters | BBT | Cooling | Typical Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial | 1000L | 6 × 1000L | – | 15 kW | Taproom / local sales |
| Growth | 1000L | 8–10 × 1000L | 1–2 | 20–25 kW | Regional distribution |
| Expansion | 1000L | 10–12 × 1000L | 2–3 | 30 kW+ | Contract / wide market |
Expansion planning is considered during the initial 1000L system design, including pipe sizing, glycol headers, control cabinet capacity, and floor layout allowance.

Relevant tanks and pressure-bearing components are manufactured in food-grade SS304 or SS316 as specified, with sanitary TIG welding, controlled surface finishing, and documented inspection records. All applicable equipment undergoes documented 48-hour water and pressure testing before shipment. CE, UL, and CSA compliance documentation is available for the applicable equipment scope and destination-market requirements. METO also provides layout, utilities, commissioning guidance and long-term expansion support.
Configuration based on brewing workflows, not generic tank lists.
Layouts, utilities lists, and integration notes for your site.
Better cost control, faster response, clearer accountability.
Training, spare parts guidance, and expansion planning support.
Malt Handling → milling & transfer preparation
Brewhouse → mash/lautering + boil/whirlpool
Cooling & Transfer → heat exchange to fermentation temp
Fermentation → jacketed conical fermenters for stability
Conditioning (Optional) → BBT / maturation
CIP → clean-in-place hygiene standardization
Packaging (Future-ready) → keg/bottle/can integration
Choose 1000L when the brewery needs a 10HL production rhythm, local distribution and an expansion-ready fermentation and packaging plan.
A 1000L brewhouse can serve both direct sales and regular keg, can or bottle distribution when the cellar is sized correctly. Use the production schedule to calculate fermenter volume: batch size x fermentation days divided by brewing interval. Add bright beer tanks when conditioning or packaging would otherwise block fermenters.

Answers for engineering and procurement teams evaluating a 1000L brewery equipment project.
Start with the planned brews per week and average fermentation time. METO calculates the required effective fermentation volume, glycol load and CIP capacity, then reserves connections for additional tanks and packaging.
The project can include malt handling, brewhouse, hot liquor, fermentation, cooling, CIP, controls, sanitary piping and packaging interfaces as one coordinated scope.
Yes. Voltage, phase, frequency, electrical brands and control architecture can be configured for destination-market requirements.
Relevant tanks and pressure-bearing components are manufactured in food-grade SS304 or SS316 as specified, with sanitary TIG welding, controlled surface finishing, and documented inspection records. All applicable equipment undergoes documented 48-hour water and pressure testing before shipment. CE, UL, and CSA compliance documentation is available for the applicable equipment scope and destination-market requirements.
Yes. Production can grow by adding fermentation and bright beer tanks and scaling glycol, CIP, controls and packaging capacity.
Share your target weekly output, beer styles, fermentation time, heating source, utilities and packaging plan. METO will prepare a 10HL equipment list, cellar model, preliminary layout and expansion-ready quotation.
