Now with non-stop service from HLT to BK

The BBL Pilot Pro is the all-in-one brew house, perfect for a new micro or nano-brewery or as a pilot system for your existing brewery. Available in 1BBL and 2BBL systems, this hard piped electric brew house comes complete with a hot liquor tank, mash tun, boil kettle, two Chugger pumps, a stainless steel counter-flow wort chiller, and sanitary fittings, all mounted on a rigid frame for easy installation. Each system is available as a skid system for mobility and simplicity or non-skid (soft or hard-piped) for a added flexibility. The integrated controls are available as either a Basic panel for a low-cost solution, or an Advanced panel with a touchscreen interface (7" or 12") for a higher level of automation.

Don't let the cost fool you, this system is packed with pro features. We've taken our experience building 3BBL - 30BBL brew houses and built the Pilot Pro with everything you need to simplify your brew day and improve your beer. No other small-batch system can match the features, safety, and performance of the Pilot Pro.

Brew House Design

HLT

The 57-gallon HLT (1 BBL systems) gives you the volume for your strike and cleaning water, saving time at the end of your brew day
Every HLT includes a tangential inlet for re-circulation, preventing thermal stratification and ensuring consistent mash temps.
Horizontal heating elements let you to start heating your water and wort with as little as 6 gallons in the HLT
The integrated float switches prevent the elements from dry firing before submerged, preventing damage to the elements
With commonly available power, both the HLT and boil kettle can be heated at the same time. A must-have for double batching, or just to pre-heat your cleaning water to shorten your brew day
Our standard HERMS coil is included in every system
Every HLT comes standard with 1" tri-clamp drain, 2 x 1.5" tri-clamp ports for heating elements, a 1.5" tri-clamp port for the stainless float switch, and a thermowell
Standard diaphragm and ball valves included for precise water flow control

Mash Tun

The 40-gallon mash tun (1 BBL systems) includes a rectangular manway for easy grain out, perforated domedfalse-bottom, 3 upper recirculation fittings, and thermowell for temperture feedback to the control panel
The HERMS coil has been engineered to provide more BTU's of heat transfer to the mash to maintain temps from strike-in to vourloff
The temperature feedback to the controls signals the pumps to circulate through the HERMS coil

Brew Kettle

45-gallon brew kettle (1 BBL systems) gives you extra head space needed to reduce boil-overs
Tangential inlet and 150° conical bottom create a gentle whirlpool for increased hop utilization and trub settling, and the 2.5" trub dam comes standard on every Pilot Pro optimal trub collection
Every boil kettle comes standard with a 1" tri-clamp port wort outlet, 1.5" tri-clamp drain port for easy cleaning, 2 x 1.5" tri-clamp ports for the heating elements, a 1.5" port for for the stainless float switch, and a thermowell
The integrated float switches prevent the elements from dry firing before submerged, preventing damage to the elements
Just like the in our larger systems, we've spaced out our heating elements to prevent scorching of your wort
Every brew kettle comes standard with a conical bottom and trub dam for maximum trub separation, optimized whirlpool performance, and easy cleanup
Optional condensor eliminates the need for expensive and bulky hood vent

Controls & Safety

The Pilot Pro Basic Controls panel places all the controls on a conveniently mounted control tower. This no-frills system gives the brewer precise control and monitoring of temperatures and times for an easy brew session. The most affordable price in the lineup, and the best value in the industry.
The Advanced Controls include a 7" or 12" touchscreen interface and use a state-of-the art HMI, custom designed and engineered exclusively for the Pilot Pro system. A step up from the Basic Controls, the Advanced Controls add the ability to measure volumes through a digital flow meter, pre-heat your HLT before you get to the brewery, build and store recipe profiles, and track temperature trends
Whether Basic or Advanced, every Pilot Pro control system is engineered to meets UL943 requirements, providing ground fault tripping at 5mA.
Because your safety is paramount, Ground Fault (Circuit) Interruption protection (GFCI) is included in every Pilot Pro system. Lower standards are meant to protect your equipment from ground faults, but the GFCI standard is used to protect the brewer. Don't take your chances with lesser safety standards.
Built in GFCI protection saves on electrical installation costs
Each element has dedicated GFCI protection, so if one goes out, you don't have to cut your brew day short. We consider this a must-have for any brew system, so we've included it standard on every Pilot Pro
Integrate our ultrasonic flow meter for precise control of strike volume and a consistent, and repeatable, mash ratio.
Available in both single-phase and three-phase configurations to match your brewery utilities
All control panels are UL/cUL listed and designed, engineered, and manufactured by Brewmation in New York facility.
