In 2024, a craft beer entrepreneur from Hong Kong chose Meto to supply a complete 500L micro brewery system for their new brewery project. After discovering Meto through our official website, the client engaged in a series of detailed technical consultations. From brewhouse layout and automation logic to energy recovery and post-installation support, every aspect was carefully evaluated. Ultimately, they chose Meto—not just for our hardware, but for our end-to-end expertise and proven track record with craft breweries worldwide.
Ultimately, the client decided to partner with Meto because of our professional engineering support, turnkey brewing solutions.
Why the Client Chose Meto
1. One-Stop Turnkey Solution: From Grain to Glass, Seamlessly Integrated
Meto didn’t just supply a brewhouse—we delivered a fully synchronized microbrewery ecosystem:
500L Automated Brewhouse: Featuring mash, lauter, boil, and whirlpool vessels with precise temperature control.
Fermentation & Conditioning: Four 1000L uni-tanks with glycol jackets for flexible lagering or ale production.
1200L Cold Water Tank: Engineered for rapid wort cooling and thermal energy recovery.
CIP (Clean-in-Place) System: Automated cleaning cycles that reduce water and chemical usage by up to 30%.
Packaging Line: Integrated semi-automatic filler and labeler for consistent bottling or canning.
This turnkey integration eliminated compatibility issues, accelerated installation, and allowed the brewery to produce its first commercial batch within just two weeks of commissioning.
2. Smart, Space-Saving Design for Urban Brewing
Hong Kong’s high real estate costs demand maximum output per square meter. Meto’s engineering team responded with a vertically optimized layout that:
Reduced the system’s footprint by 25% compared to conventional setups.
Incorporated PLC-based automation with HMI touchscreen control for recipe repeatability.
Enabled remote monitoring via optional IoT modules—ideal for lean staffing.
The result? A brewery that fits comfortably in a 30m² space yet delivers the consistency of a much larger facility.
3. Energy Efficiency Built Into Every Component
Sustainability and cost control were top priorities. Meto’s customized solutions delivered:
Heat recovery from the wort cooler to pre-heat brewing water, cutting steam consumption by ~20%.
A dual-zone glycol chiller that dynamically adjusts cooling based on fermentation load.
CIP optimization: Programmable rinse, caustic, and acid cycles with flow sensors to prevent overuse.
These features helped the client reduce utility costs by an estimated 15–18% per batch—a significant advantage in a high-operating-cost market like Hong Kong.
4. Beyond Delivery: Ongoing Partnership & Support
For many new brewers, the real challenge begins after installation. That’s where Meto’s post-sale commitment made the difference.
