• NANO-X 100L Dished Vessel 2V

  Welcome to the NANO-X 100L 2V brewing system, quickly becoming our top-selling model among the 2V systems. Its popularity stems from being less messy, easier to use, and capable of producing significantly more wort compared to a Single Vessel System. Additionally, it offers a highly cost-effective solution for increasing wort production volumes.

  The 2V brewing concept:

  This highly cost-effective 100L 2V brewing system allows you to produce a single 70L batch of wort or a double batch of 140L in a single brew day. For single-batch brewing on our 2V system, we recommend the figure-of-eight brewing technique, where the Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) also serves as the Boiler Kettle (BK) to complete a batch. Double batching on a 2V system is straight forward but requires the use of an efficient instant hot water service (which everyone has) to function as the HLT, as explained below.

  Single Batch Brewing:

  To produce a single batch on the NANO-X 2V, we use the figure-of-eight brewing technique. This method is easy to master and involves transferring wort from the Mash Tun (right vessel) to the HLT/BK (left vessel) and simultaneously returning it to the Mash Tun from the HLT/BK for a 60-minute mashing period. During this process, the total water for the batch is used, and the mash water and sparge water mix until the target gravity and wort clarity are achieved.

  Brewing starts by heating all the water in the HLT/BK. Strike water is then transferred to the Mash Tun, and the HLT may need a small top-up to reach the required total water target. After topping up the HLT, add the grain to the Mash Tun and mash in. Once satisfied with your mash and testing, start the figure-of-eight re-circulation process.

  This technique is simple, less messy, and hassle-free. The mash temperature is maintained by the fluid returning from the HLT/BK to the Mash Tun, as the elements are in the HLT/BK. It’s crucial to ensure equal fluid transfer between the vessels to maintain their starting volumes, avoiding overflow or dry elements. To facilitate this, CP has equipped the system with two flow meters, one on the HLT/BK and one on the Mash Tun, allowing the brewer to set the exact flow rate into each vessel and making kettle volume maintenance foolproof.

  Double Batch Brewing:

  Double batching on the 100L NANO-X 2V is straight forward and a significant time-saver compared to double batching on a single vessel system. After completing the first batch and transferring all the liquid from the Mash Tun to the HLT/BK, set the controllers to boiling temperature for the first batch. Then, remove the grain from the Mash Tun, replace it with strike water at temperature from an instant hot water service, and begin the mashing-in process.

  Once you have mashed in, start the re-circulation of fluid in the Mash Tun, where the fluid comes out of the Mash Tun, into the pump, and back into the top of the Mash Tun for a 60-minute period if needed. After the mash period is complete, set the hot water service to 75 degrees and use it to sparge according to the required sparge volume. As you sparge, transfer the wort to the HLT/BK, ensuring your timing allows the HLT/BK to be ready to receive the second batch for boiling.

  An instant hot water service is essential for this process, although a cost-effective hot water tank can also be used. To maintain mash temperature, you can add an additional element (3200w/15amp/3.2kw, sold separately) under the Mash Tun’s false bottom, where provisions have been made for it.
