Today, we look at the Meto 5000L brewery  project to see the technology and design behind this modern craft factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Project Overview: High Capacity and Flexibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This 5000L brewery project uses a six-vessel brewhouse system. It can make 5000 liters per batch and run 6-8 batches a day, reaching 10,000 tons per year. The system is not only powerful but also very flexible. It can quickly change to meet market needs, which is perfect for craft brands that often create new beers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Milling System: Precise Control to Keep Flavor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dual Dry Milling:\u00a0One machine with a wetting device cracks barley malt without crushing it too much. Another machine dry mills wheat and other grains for easier cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain Conveyor with Windows:\u00a0Looks industrial and works well, letting you see the grain moving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mixing Device:\u00a0Stops malt from clumping and improves sugar extraction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dust Collection:\u00a0Meets environmental rules for green production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brewhouse System: Innovative and Energy Saving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nitrogen Protection:\u00a0Prevents oxidation during brewing to protect flavor. This is a unique and leading design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Condensate Recovery:\u00a0Recycles hot water (over 80\u00b0C) back to the boiler, saving over 20% energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot Trub Recovery:\u00a0Pumps hot solids to the filter tank and then outside to a spent grain tank for recycling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fermentation System: Multiple Tanks for Controlled Flavor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fermentation area has 5T, 10T, and 15T\u00a0fermentation tanks, plus a 15T bright beer tank. This allows multiple batches to ferment at the same time for steady yearly output. By controlling temperature and time exactly, the yeast works perfectly to create unique aromas, tastes, and body for every beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/metobrew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5000l-brewery-equipment-3-1.webp\" alt=\"\u041e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0443\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0438\u0432\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0440\u043d\u0438 5000 \u043b 3\" class=\"wp-image-4209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metobrew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5000l-brewery-equipment-3-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/metobrew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5000l-brewery-equipment-3-1-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/metobrew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5000l-brewery-equipment-3-1-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Water and Cooling Systems: Stable Support for Quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Water Tanks:\u00a0Includes 30 tons each of ice water, pure water, hot water, and brewing water. Constant pressure pumps provide stable water for cleaning (CIP) and brewing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooling System:\u00a0Uses a 50P chiller and a 30-ton glycol tank to control temperatures for cooling wort, fermentation, and cold storage.

If not controlled, the beer can taste sharp. Here are simple ways to reduce sourness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Raw Materials and Water Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malt Selection:\u00a0Use light, fresh malt with high extract. It has less acid. Keep wheat malt under 40% of the total mix to avoid too much sourness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water Management:\u00a0Brewing water should be clear, odorless, and have a pH of 6.8-7.2. Avoid water with high iron or manganese. If water is too acidic, treat it to raise the pH.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Optimizing the Brewhouse Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Temperature Steps:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protein rest: Keep under 50\u00b0C for 0-15 minutes to stop too much acid formation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saccharification: Set at 65\u00b0C for 60-90 minutes to turn starch into sugar while reducing acid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mash out: Raise to 78\u00b0C to stop enzyme activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shorten Time:\u00a0Reducing total mash time (e.g., from 120 to 90 minutes) lowers acid buildup while keeping malt aroma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Control pH:\u00a0Adjust wort pH to 5.2-5.4 during mashing to stop acid creation and help enzymes work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Fermentation Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Temperature:\u00a0Keep main fermentation at 18-22\u00b0C. Avoid high temps (over 30\u00b0C) which cause yeast to make too much acid. Keep storage at 4-6\u00b0C to stop bacteria growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yeast Management:\u00a0Use strong, healthy yeast with no bacteria. Check yeast activity regularly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hops:\u00a0Add bitter hops early (60 min boil) to stop bacteria. Add aroma hops later or use dry hopping to add flavors that hide slight sourness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Equipment Hygiene<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cleaning:\u00a0Clean and disinfect the\u00a0brewery system,\u00a0fermentation tanks, and pipes regularly. Keep pipes short (under 10 meters) for easy cleaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Environment:\u00a0Keep the fermentation room temperature stable. Test for bacteria often and disinfect immediately if found.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Emergency Fix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If beer is already sour, a tiny amount of baking soda can neutralize it. However, this is only a temporary fix. The best way is to control the process and hygiene from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using these steps along with Meto 5000L features like nitrogen protection, smart temperature control, and automatic CIP, you can reduce sourness and make high-quality, smooth craft beer.
