It is a great option for Nano,small to medium-sized breweries that are limited by space or don't have access to natural gas,such as 3bbl,5bbl,7bbl,10bbl brewery equipment. Electric systems are typically more energy-efficient than gas or steam systems, and they also offer precise temperature control. Your facility should have 3phase power. Kettle, Hot water tank/HLT can be heated up by electric automatically.

But the brewing equipment cost is much more expensive than electric because of the special burning room, chimney and fire-proof materials, burner.
