High capacity, small footprint: GEA develops 20-hectoliter brewhouse for up-and-coming craft brewers

GEA’s brewing experts have added a new brewhouse size to their range and already found the first buyer – Hungarian craft brewery, MONYO Brewing Co. Based on the popular GEA CRAFT-STAR® Craft Brewhouse XL, the GEA CRAFT-STAR® Craft Brewhouse M has a hot wort capacity of 20 hectoliters per brew. As such, the new unit fills a gap on the market by catering to craft brewers whose businesses are still in their growth phase but don’t want to miss out on the advantages of high-tech equipment. In terms of versatility, efficiency, automation and delivering consistent batch repeatability, the 20-hectoliter brewhouse keeps pace with the larger original. What’s more, customers benefit from GEA’s extraordinarily fast project turnaround.
