Used 500L Brewery Equipment

Used 500L Brewery Equipment for Brewpubs & Small Craft Breweries

A compact, proven used 500L brewery equipment package based on MICET’s turnkey 500L brewhouse design. This refurbished used 5HL brewhouse system combines mash/kettle, lauter tun, whirlpool, 500L conical fermenters, 1000L glycol tank, CIP and semi-auto control – ideal as a second-hand 500L brewing system for serious start-ups and brewpubs.

This configuration is built from MICET’s standard 500L turnkey brewery equipment specification and adapted as a refurbished used 500L brewing system. Instead of buying unknown second-hand tanks, you get a coherent used 5HL brewery with matched brewhouse, fermenters, glycol, CIP and bottling, all designed to work together from malt mill to package.

How We Refurbish the Used 500L Brewery Equipment

To make this used 500L brewery equipment ready for a new site, we follow a structured refurbishment and quality control process.

Step 1

Inspection & Planning

Check brewhouse, fermenters, glycol, CIP and filler versus your capacity, layout and utilities.

Step 2

Cleaning & Passivation

Deep clean vessels and piping, remove deposits and re-passivate stainless steels where needed.

Step 3

Component Refresh

Replace key wear parts such as gaskets, PRVs, gauges, selected valves and electrical components.

Step 4

Testing

Perform pressure, jacket leak and function tests on tanks, pumps, chiller and control circuits.

Step 5

Documentation & Packing

Provide basic test records and photos, then pack and prepare the used 500L brewery for export.
