Twofold Predicament Unfolding: Report Hereindetails Events
In the world of homebrewing, efficiency and speed are key. One way to achieve this is through the double batch upgrade on Trio systems.
The Trio systems, a popular choice among homebrewers, offer a range of benefits. One of the longest tenured employees at Spike, Mike Cymerman, leads the Customer Experience team, ensuring smooth Brew Day operations. Mike is not just a dedicated employee, but also the office's self-appointed coffee expert.
The double batch upgrade on Trio systems revolutionises the brewing process by moving to a two-vessel system and adding an insulated mash tun. This setup allows for more efficient and continuous processing of batches. While one batch is mashing, the second vessel can be used simultaneously for a different stage, minimising downtime between steps. Insulation helps maintain mash temperature more effectively, reducing time spent on heating or temperature adjustments.
The HLT heating element is used to control mash temperature on the Trio systems. With the double batch upgrade, both the HLT and BK elements can be powered simultaneously. This feature allows for heating water in the HLT for cleaning during boiling, even when not brewing two batches.
The double batch upgrade can cut down the time required for consecutive batches by up to two hours. To brew another batch after the first one, heating of the HLT can be started once the first batch is finished boiling on the Trio systems. The upgrade also allows for simultaneous refilling and heating of the HLT for the next batch while the first batch is boiling.
With the double batch upgrade, brewers can choose to brew two different beers and fill two fermenters, or brew the same beer twice and fill the same fermenter. On single batch brew days, cleanup is quick with the Trio systems.
However, it's important to note that although two brews can be done in one day with the double batch upgrade, it takes longer compared to double batch brewing with a separate system. The Trio systems, by design, allow for independent heating of the Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) and the Boil Kettle (BK). The single batch panel on the Trio systems allows heating of only one kettle at a time (either HLT or BK). Heating both kettles on the single batch panel is not possible due to limited electrical power.
In conclusion, the double batch upgrade on Trio systems is a game-changer for homebrewers looking to speed up their brewing process without compromising on quality. The upgrade offers numerous benefits, from efficient processing to reduced downtime and quick cleanup. Whether you're a seasoned homebrewer or just starting out, the double batch upgrade could be the perfect solution for you.
The Trio systems, with the double batch upgrade, not only optimise the food-and-drink related lifestyle of homebrewers but also incorporate technology to streamline the brewing process. With the upgrade, homebrewers can minimize their 'brew day' duration, enhancing their overall workflow and efficiency.
