Curious how to get more beer out of less space? This session, sponsored by Bucher Denwel, dives into the Sud Sixty Six compact brewhouse and how its smart two-vessel design boosts efficiency without sacrificing quality. Speaker Friedrich Banke walks through the process, from mash to whirlpool, and explores how breweries can increase throughput, reduce energy use, and simplify operations. Along the way, you’ll see real performance results and practical takeaways you can apply to your own brewhouse—whether you’re optimizing an existing system or planning your next upgrade.
