Hupblon Brewery Pack – fermentation and cooling

This professional pack reproduces the setup used by the Brasserie de l’Hupblon, an artisanal microbrewery located in the Cévennes. It is designed for brewers wishing to structure their production around pressure‑capable fermenters, efficient glycol cooling, secure transfers and clean, reproducible packaging.

At the heart of the system are two BrewBuilt X3 Uni fermenters of 144 L and 53 L, fully stainless steel, double‑walled and insulated, compatible with 1.5" and 3" Tri‑Clamp fittings. They allow pressure fermentation, multi‑style management and impeccable hygiene.

The JoinTech G20 glycol chiller – 2 pumps provides precise thermal control: stable fermentation, effective cold crash and aromatic preservation. Insulated python hoses and 1.5" TC hose‑port fittings ensure clean and efficient glycol circulation.

For transfers, the pack includes the NOVAX 20B Pump, a robust and reliable pump suited for 50 to 150 L volumes, ideal for racking, intermediate transfers and recirculation.

The pack includes all accessories required for pressure work:

• Pressure lids with 15 psi PRV and stainless float (×2)
• Adjustable spunding valves TC 1.5" (×2)
• Pressure gauges 0–3 bar TC 1.5" (×2)
• Ball Lock fittings TC 1.5" with carbonation stone (×2)
• Stainless sampling tap TC 1.5" (×2)
• Flex Chamber Collection Jar (×2)
• Sight glass TC 1.5"

For pressure dry hopping, the pack includes a Hop Bong 1.5" with BrewBuilt reducer, allowing oxygen‑free hop additions. Insulation jackets provide additional thermal stability.

The 3" bottom dump valves with 3" butterfly valve allow clean, fast and secure transfers. BrewBuilt wheel sets improve tank mobility.

For packaging, the pack includes:

• NukaTap & Twist Pack (NukaTap version)
• NukaTap counter‑pressure filler

These tools allow clean, reproducible, oxygen‑free filling — ideal for local small batches or beers destined for bottle shops and restaurants.

Product FAQ

• Is this pack compatible with an existing setup? Yes, it integrates with any 1.5" and 3" Tri‑Clamp system.
• Are the fermenters pressure‑capable? Yes, up to 15 psi via the included PRVs.
• Can the JoinTech chiller manage two tanks? Yes, thanks to its two independent pumps.
• Does the pack allow oxygen‑free dry hop? Yes, via the 1.5" Hop Bong.
• And if I don’t have a brewhouse? We suggest a Brewtools B180 or Brewzilla 100 L for brewing, and a Digiboil 65 L for sparging (see suggested products at the bottom of the page).
