GEA COMPACT-STAR® Craft Brewhouse

For medium-sized and larger craft breweries with a cast-out quantity of 40–115 hl (35–100 US bbl)

Representing our flagship brewhouse line for craft brewers, the versatile COMPACT-STAR® provides optimum performance in an affordable package. Combining the efficiency of GEA’s larger systems with the flexibility needed to create all types of beers, the eye-catching, hygienic, stainless steel design of the COMPACT-STAR® is complemented by a sturdiness and performance found in no other system in its class.

From vessel upgrades to new builds, a wide range of customized brewhouse configurations is available. Furthermore, with its smart expansion concept and ability to deliver a 2-hour brewing cycle, the COMPACT-STAR® is fully adaptable for future growth.

Key benefits of the COMPACT-STAR® brewhouse
