METO’s 300L brewery equipment is a turnkey small-batch system for brewpubs, startup breweries and hospitality projects that need repeatable production without moving to a full microbrewery footprint. The reference package includes a two-vessel brewhouse with 500L hot liquor tank, six 300L fermenters, 800L glycol tank, 3P chiller, 50L portable CIP station and configurable digital or PLC controls.
300L / Brew
6 × 300L ( +25% headspace )
Typical workflow: milling → mashing/lauter → boil/whirlpool → cooling/oxygenation → fermentation → CIP cleaning → control & utilities.
To issue an accurate quotation and layout drawing, we recommend buyers confirm these items:
We can provide layout suggestions, utilities lists, and integration notes to reduce on-site commissioning time.
Below are the practical configuration items and parameters commonly reviewed by engineers, integrators, and purchasing managers. This avoids “marketing-only” descriptions and provides decision-ready data.
The core set includes MT/LT + KT/WT and a 500L Hot Liquor Tank (HLT). The mash/lauter tun is specified below with real dimensions and material thickness.
Key Parameters: 300L; Φ960×2300 mm; inner shell SUS304 TH=3mm; outer shell TH=2mm; interior polishing 0.4 μm (8K optional).
Key Parameters: Configured per heating method and process targets (steam/electric, hop load, boil intensity). Final geometry and ports confirmed with your process sheet.
Key Parameters: 500L HLT included for stable sparging and consistent hot water availability.
Procurement focus: sanitary finishing, pressure rating, cooling jacket design, and validated testing. These fermenters are built with dimple plate jackets and 0.4 μm interior finish, supporting stable fermentation repeatability for craft production.

| Pressure & Testing | Working pressure < 0.2 MPa; tank tested at 0.2 MPa; jacket tested at 0.4 MPa; 48 hours water & gas leakage test | Confirms integrity and safer operation in real brewery conditions. |
| Top/Bottom Geometry | Dished top; 60° conical bottom (customizable) | Supports yeast collection and efficient draining. |
| Manway | Top oval pressured manhole (side manway optional) | Maintenance access and operator usability. |
| Standard Fittings | PRV; pressure gauge; sampling valve; rotating racking arm; CIP spray ball; thermowell | Confirms a “complete” fermenter—not missing critical ports. |
| Cooling | 35% glycol at -5°C; dimple plate jacket on bottom & side wall | Temperature precision and fermentation repeatability. |
| Connections | Tri-clamp connections (DIN union optional) | Compatibility with sanitary piping standards. |
Buyer note: Fermenter quantity and jacket zones can be optimized based on your fermentation days and production cadence.
The cooling package is sized to support stable fermentation control with -5°C glycol supply. Below are the real parameters for the glycol tank and chiller.
Glycol loop control can be run in Auto/Manual mode at the cabinet. For procurement, this reduces commissioning risk and simplifies maintenance scheduling.
Built for hygienic cleaning cycles with sanitary finishing and a compact trolley layout—ideal for 300L breweries that need reliable cleaning without complex fixed CIP piping.

Choose 300L when a startup brewpub needs regular production, multiple fermenters and a compact path to future packaging and cellar expansion.
Six 300L fermenters provide a practical starting point for rotating beer styles and maintaining a regular brew schedule. The final cellar plan should account for ale or lager fermentation time, conditioning, dry hopping and packaging. METO can reserve glycol, control and floor-layout capacity for additional fermenters as taproom demand grows.
