Boost Capacity Without Expanding Infrastructure

Pentair’s High Gravity Brewing (HGB) technology empowers breweries to significantly increase output without the need for costly investments in brewhouse, tank, or filtration capacity. By brewing and fermenting high-strength wort and then adjusting key parameters like alcohol, CO₂, and original gravity just before packaging, you can scale production efficiently and flexibly.

Why Choose High Gravity Brewing? 

  • Maximize Output
    Brew stronger wort and dilute later—freeing up brewhouse and tank capacity. 
  • Reduce Resource Use
    Less water, energy, and time needed for heating, boiling, and cooling.
  • Enhance Product Variety
    Easily adjust recipes and alcohol content to meet market demand.

A Complete, Integrated Solution

Pentair offers modular systems that can be delivered standalone or as a fully integrated solution. Our HGB setup includes:

  • Beer Membrane Filtration (BMF)
    Sustainable, DE-free filtration for consistent beer quality and reduced aging.
  • Water Deaeration (WDS)
    Efficient oxygen removal using advanced gas-liquid stripping technology.
  • Deaerated Water Distribution
    Hygienic and aseptic valve technology ensures safe and reliable water handling.
  • Carbonation & Blending
    The Carbo Blender (CBR) or Carbo Controller (CCR) deliver precise control over carbonation and blending, ensuring consistent taste and quality.
