This is pretty interesting.

In a commercial scale brewery, this company has designed a boil system where the wort is not actually boiled! The wort is kept just under boiling and agitated with a stirrer for sanitation, isomerisation, and protein coagulation. It is then pumped through a vacuum chamber.
The decrease in pressure evapourates water out of the wort (apparently exactly 8%), and does it all with a big saving in power. When the wort leaves the vacuum chamber it is already as low as 70, so there's less effort required to cool to pitching temps.

Yes i left out the names to protect the not so inocent 'me' :ph34r:
although the company in question is listed on the meura site as a company using the equipment so its public info, The brewhouse being from briggs surely can't be sensitive info either.

I think it's common knowledge, certainly within the industry. Briggs built Coopers new brewery and also CUB's new twin-stream brewhouse at Yatala.

Boots,
70% off primary energy is a good saving. Maybe we could do a bulk buy :super: . Looks nice though :(
