BM-500 : BREWMASTER Compact wort brew machine – the 550L brewhouse

The medium-size wort brew machine that is intended for easy preparation 550L of beer wort in one batch using the infusion brewing method. Practical and easy beer production device to use for all home brewers. Our brew machine BREWMASTER BM-500 with use of some simplified wort fermentors permits to prepare a good hand crafted beer, using fresh products according to any kind of recipe. The wort brew machine is produced of stainless steel. Maximal malt quantity 42.0 kg per batch. The wort brew machine is fully produced of stainless steel AISI 304.
550 liters of produced wort is sufficient volume to produce around 500 liters of beer after finish the fermentation and maturation process.

BREWMASTER BM-500 produces up to 550 liters of hopped wort per one batch

The fully automatic wort brewing control system takes over the brewing process according to individually adjusted recipes and runs through all brewing phases with exact times and temperatures. The filtering of pure wort out from rest malt grains is done easily and quickly by lifting the inner basket with the malt sieve using the lifting device integrated. This way you can carry out the wort filtering process easily and quickly.

In addition, this brewing device is mobile, easy movable , and its space requirement is minimal. This makes it ideal for smaller restaurants, pubs, events or home-brewing beer communities. The low purchase cost and a low price per produced litre of beer ensure a quick costs return.

New design since 2024 :

Practical design and very comfortable operation :

Wort brewing process :

Programming – Depending on the recipe, the BM-500 brewing system is programmed with the appropriate brewing times and temperatures. The brewing process starts by switching over to automatic control. The control system guides the user through the step by step and executes all four brewing phases automaticaly.

Mixing and heating of malt mash – Depending on the recipe and method, you poure water into the BREWMASTER machine and heat it up to 38 °C. Then put the malt basket with the sieve in its working position. Pour required amount of malt between the sieve inserts. The malt basket is fixed with bracket and drawbar.

Mash brewing – The pump switches on automaticaly. During the malt in water circulation process, he starch is extracted from the malt. The four wort brewing phases are executed according to recipe is selected. For example as follows:

1. Protein phase : 55 °C, approximately 5 min
2. Maltose phase : 63 °C, approximately 30 min
3. First sacharidation phase : 72 °C, approximately 20 min
4. Second sacharidation phase : 78 °C, approximately 10 min

Filtering – At the end of the four mashing phases an acoustic signal sounds. The subsequent wort filtering process is easy executed by simply removing the malt basket from the BREWMASTER machine. This is done by means of the integrated lifting device. Allow to filtrate the wort through malt a few minutes. Then shortly sparge the malt in the basket by hot water to achieve a better yield and remove the malt basket.

Boiling the wort with hops – The wort is boiled for 80 minutes with hops , with opened lid. Hops being added several times during the boiling. Using a special sieve you can easy to separate hops pellets from wort. The evaporated water is to be replaced by adding fresh brewing water. The original wort viskosity can be finally adjusted by adding or leaving out water. Scale on the wort brew machine serves as a level meter. At the end of the boiling phase, an acoustic signal sounds again.

Wort cooling – After end of the boiling the wort with hops, the wort is cooled as soon as possible to the fermentation temperature by a special wort cooler integrated in the machine or using the cooling double jackets of the fermenting tank cooled with cold water and water cooler.

Beer fermentation/maturation process :

Immediately after end of the boiling of the wort the temperature of the wort is brought to the level of the fermentation temperature by a wort cooler or by a double jacket; the wort is also mixed with yeast and fermented in a suitably large fermentation tank (optional accessory).

Primary beer fermentation

For the primary beer fermentation you can use simple plastic or stainless steel fermentation vessels equipped with the air lock.

>> Recommended vessels for the primary beer fermentation …

Secondary beer fermentation – maturation

For the beer maturation you can use the stainless steel fermentors fully equipped for semi-professional the beer production process.

>> Pressure tanks for the secondary beer fermentation …

>> Complete sets with one fermentor for the secondary beer fermentation …

>> Complete sets with more fermentors for the secondary beer fermentation …

Consuming :

After several weeks of conditioning beer in bottles or in a pressure beer maturation tank (optional accessory), the well cooled beer can be consumed.

Available accessories :
