The bottom slope is calculated to facilitate complete drainage without the trub pile shifting or spreading, allowing better removal of clean wort and reducing wort loss. Several heating options are available. Careful design of the forced-air burner, firebox, and control system gives our system a level of efficiency that no other can match. The burner nozzle is tangentially mounted to distribute the heat effectively, while the stack outlet is placed lower than the burner to reduce stack gas temperatures and keep the heat in the firebox where it belongs. A stainless flue damper ensures correct firebox pressure even when a power venting system is used.
Strategic use is made of ceramic insulation to prolong the life of critical areas.

ABT's brewhouse control panels feature a handsome waterproof stainless-steel housing, NEMA 4X rated and UL listed. Panel controls have digital LED readouts and are waterproof.
