Commercial Cold Liquor Water Tank for Breweries

A commercial cold liquor water tank is one of the most useful pieces of equipment in a professional brewery. Also known as a brewery cold liquor tank or CLT tank, it stores chilled brewing water for fast, efficient brewhouse operation and helps batch times and provides faster knockdown.

BREWHA’s Cold Liquor Water Tank is built for breweries that need a reliable source of pre-chilled water for post-boil knockdown and other brewery cooling applications. With insulated 304 stainless steel construction, dual independent jacket zones, and compatibility with optional heaters and brewery chillers, this tank is designed for flexibility and long-term performance.

Available sizes currently include 600L / 5 BBL, 1200L / 10 BBL, and 2800L / 24 BBL.

What Is a Cold Liquor Tank Used for in a Brewery?

A cold liquor tank stores chilled water that can be used throughout the brewing process. In most breweries, it is primarily used to supply cold water for:

• post-boil wort knockdown
• heat exchanger water supply
• brewhouse process cooling
• maintaining a ready reserve of pre-chilled water between brew days

For breweries looking to improve workflow, shorten turnaround time, and build a more efficient production process, a properly sized commercial CLT tank can make a major difference.
