500L 4V NANO-X Dished Kettle Brewing System
Welcome to the all-new CPB Dished vessel 500L 4V Brewing System which produces 500L of wort. When designing this system we focused on flexibility of production as this 500L 4V can be used to produce 2 different beers of 250L batch size or a single batch size of 500L of the same beer and even just a 250L batch only. Additionally, we wanted to design a 500L brew system that can fit on a single pallet because we also understand that shipping costs is dead money.
Not only is the system flexible we have also produced a cost effective system for start up breweries and those breweries wishing to up grade there hot side equipment to a larger 500L system. At CPB we understand that the hot side of brewing is not where a brewery needs to spend big dollars as more of the budget needs to focus on the cold side of brewing.
Cheeky Peak Brewery systems have a massive competitive advantage over others due to the ability to add so many other optional extra’s. A number of optional extra’s that can be purchased improve user-ability and increase system efficiency, this is important as a brewery grows and brewing days become more often and longer.
Dimensions of the 4V Assembled (Foot Print):
Height: 150cm
Depth: 100cm
Length: 330cm
Shipping Dimensions: 1.5m X 1.2cm X 1.2m. CPB’s goal was to design a large 500L 4V brewing system that basically fits on a single pallet and dramatically cuts wasted shipping costs. The system does fit on a pallet but we are charged a slight over sized pallet rate.
Massive feature changes for a better price:
- 2 X 270L Dished Vessel Mash Tuns with grain door, grain guide and stilted hinged heavy duty false bottoms. The traditional style Mash Tun with grain door provide a very simple way to dispose of spend grain
- 2 X 270L Dished Brew Kettles are supplied. Both brew kettles are dual purpose as a Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) and as a Boiler Kettle. Dished brew kettles are used to allow for complete and fast draining to enable your HLT to store dry. Additionally, this allows for better directional water dumping or complete water transfer to a storage tank when not in use, thus reducing water wastage.
- 4 X 65w pumps with the option to upgrade pumps to Spike Tri Clover / Clamp pumps if required. Pumps are 1.5″ Tri Clamp mounted to, what we call, the vessel joiner plates. Tri Clamp mounting of the 4 pumps makes the pumps easy to remove when washing the outer SS on the 4V brewing system. 4 Pumps give the system the ability to complete or continue brewing operations if one of the pumps block or fail.
- 4 X NANO Boss Control system with 3mm thick SS wall mounting bracket and 3 year warranty. We have chosen to supply a SS wall mounting bracket designed to seat your 3 X NANO Boss Controllers. Wall mounting controllers provide additional protection for controllers and safer use of electric equipment in a wet area brewing environment.
- 2 X NANO Boss Commercial Relays
- All high temp re-in forced silicon hosing, fittings, clamps and seals are provided to complete the system plumbing.
- All new Super Low Density watt elements now supplied. We have dramatically upgraded all commercial system elements with new Super Low Density elements. The all new elements have a operating current of just 6 watts per square cm. Additionally, we have designed the elements to include a 304SS cable gland that threads into the back element housing, this dramatically increases wiring place hold and decreases wiring internal movement. Elements will have an all new 1 year Warranty.
- All SS304 components come with a 8 year warranty
Optional extra’s sold separately but not limited to:
- Optional 304SS Domed Lid Mounted Agitator with height adjustment capability: The first system of its size where an agitator is available for the Mash Tun which we off separately. If you no longer wish to slave away with a mash paddle when mashing in and would prefer to be free to do PH testing and adjustment of the mash in those critical first 15 minutes of a mash time frame, then our Agitator is perfect for you. Additionally, if you are looking to maximise wort efficiency to get better bang for your grain bill spend then an agitator is the only way to do this.
- Optional Steam Condenser: If you purchase the steam condenser please be aware that the agitator can be used with the domed lid provided with the steam condenser
- Optional 26 Plate Sonflow Gasketed Wort Chiller:
- Optional Sonflow Plate Chiller Pro Fit Out fittings with pre chiller hop filter, inline oxygen defusion stone assembly and outlet real time temperature read: Protect your Gasket-ed chiller from blockages and a constant need for maintenance with our filter kit. Get real time temperature reads to ensure wort is exiting from the chiller at pitching temps.
- Optional Whirl-pooling Counter-flow Chiller: This chiller is for those wishing to cool wort to Boiler Kettle (BK) whirl-pooling hop temps for whirlpool hop additions. Whirlpool chilling from 100c down to 80c stirs up trube which includes direct Boiler hops and sends large amount of trube through to the pump and then onto the chiller of which Gasket-ed Plate Chillers can not handle thus forming fluid blockages preventing wort to pass through the chiller. Additionally, there are no pre chiller hop filters that can handle the amount of trube so they also block up. In order to avoid these issues we recommend our system Whirl-pooling Chiller that will easily drop temps from boil to 80c and not block up. These types of chillers allow wort to pass through a smooth internal tube which can take large amounts of trube without blocking up.
Power Requirements:
100amp 240v Single phase is required to run the system. 2 NANO Boss Controllers and 2 NANO Boss Relay Modules run 4 of the 4 elements in the brewing kettles at one time.
- 1 X 25amp/5500w/5.5kw 240v Single phase power feed runs to one of the NANO Boss Controllers and through to one of the 5500w elements in the far left kettle
- 1 X 25amp/5500w/5.5kw 240v Single phase power feed runs to one of the NANO Boss Relays and through to one of the 5500w elements in the far left kettle
- 1 X 25amp/5500w/5.5kw 240v Single phase power feed runs to one of the NANO Boss Controllers and through to one of the 5500w elements in the far right kettle
- 1 X 25amp/5500w/5.5kw 240v Single phase power feed runs to one of the NANO Boss Relays and through to one of the 5500w elements in the far right kettle1
- 1 X 15amp/3200w/3.2kw 240v Single phase power feed runs to one of the NANO Boss Controllers and through to the element under the false bottom in the mash tun on the left
- 1 X 15amp/3200w/3.2kw 240v Single phase power feed runs to one of the NANO Boss Controllers and through to the element under the false bottom in the mash tun on the right
Elements Supplied with the 4V
4 X 5500w Elements are supplied with the system. 2 elements in the HLT/Boiler Kettle on the far left of the system and 2 elements in HLT/Boil Kettle on the far right of the system.
2 X 3200w/15amp/3.2kw Elements are supplied into rear of the 2 Mash Tuns and are placed under the false bottoms in each mash tun in order to maintain a strict Mash Tun temperature during a 60 minute mashing period.
Pumps Supplied with the 4V
4 X 65w Pumps come on the 4V brewing system. Each pump is switched on and off from the touch screen NANO Boss Controllers as the controllers supplied also have a separate 10amp pump circuit, so each of the 4 controllers feed a pump individually. Basically the pumps require very little power draw.
