Twin Troubles or Dual Disturbance
In the world of brewing, time and efficiency are of the essence. A recent upgrade to Trio brewing systems, the double batch panel, has been making waves for its significant impact on Brew Day efficiency.
The double batch panel allows for the handling of two batches concurrently, a marked improvement over the single batch panel. This setup reduces total brewing time and simplifies cleanup, making for smoother and more productive Brew Days.
With the double batch upgrade, operators can brew two batches one after another or in quicker succession without the need to stop and clean or switch the panel between batches. This cut in overall Brew Day time is a game-changer, especially considering that each batch requires separate brewing setup and completion with the single batch panel.
Cleanup is streamlined as well. The double batch system consolidates the brewing process, meaning operators do not need to clean and reset the panel between individual single batches. This reduction in hands-on cleaning time and maintenance effort post-brewing is a welcome relief for brewery staff.
The exact time savings and cleanup details vary depending on system design specifics, but the upgrade effectively halves repeat handling per batch, enhancing both throughput and operational convenience during Brew Day.
The double batch upgrade also offers benefits beyond just brewing two batches. It allows for the simultaneous powering of both the Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) and Boil Kettle (BK) elements, enabling water in the HLT to be heated for cleaning during the boil or for refilling and heating of HLT water for the next batch while the first batch is boiling.
Mike Cymerman, one of the longest tenured employees at Spike, leads the Customer Experience team, working tirelessly to ensure smooth Brew Days. Known in the office as the self-appointed coffee expert, Mike's dedication to making brewing as efficient and enjoyable as possible is evident in the implementation of the double batch upgrade.
On single batch days, cleanup is quick with the Trio systems, and Brew Days are still productive. However, with the double batch upgrade, the potential for increased productivity is significant, making it a valuable investment for any brewery striving for efficiency and growth.
For a more detailed process of double batching, interested brewers are encouraged to explore the separate resource available. The principle of using double batch processing in brewing generally supports improved time and cleanup efficiencies versus single batch setups based on typical brewing system workflows and user experience.
With the double batch upgrade, Trio brewing systems are poised to take on the challenges of modern brewing with ease and efficiency.
This double batch panel upgrade on Trio brewing systems not only boosts efficiency during the Brew Day by handling two batches simultaneously, but also streamlines the food-and-drink industry's lifestyle by reducing total brewing time and simplifying cleanup. Furthermore, the technology's simultaneous heating of both the Hot Liquor Tank and Boil Kettle elements indicates a fusion of brewing and modern technology, enhancing both throughput and operational convenience.
