10HL Brewhouse Project for Miyagi-Ken Brewery in Japan
Supporting International Brewery Projects Beyond Equipment Manufacturing
For many overseas brewery projects, one of the biggest concerns is not only the brewing equipment itself, but also how the system will be safely delivered, unloaded, assembled, and installed on-site.
For this project, Redwood Stainless Systems supplied a customized 10HL brewing system for Miyagi-Ken Brewery located in Kesennuma-shi, Miyagi-ken, Japan.
Instead of relying on overseas installation crews, the project focused on helping the customer complete installation more efficiently through detailed engineering preparation and remote installation support.
Project Overview
This project involved supplying a complete 10HL brewery solution for craft beer production in Japan.
The project included not only the brewhouse itself, but also supporting cellar and utility equipment required for daily brewing operations, including fermenters, CIP cleaning systems, grain milling equipment, and keg washing solutions.
To support smoother international delivery and customer-side installation, Redwood prepared:
- Customized transportation rack drawings before shipment
- Tank support structures designed for easier unloading
- Complete unloading instructions
- Tank positioning guidance
- Illustrated installation manuals with step-by-step references
This preparation helped simplify installation and reduce uncertainty once the equipment arrived in Japan.
Equipment Supplied
The project included a complete brewing and cellar setup for commercial craft beer production, including:
- 10HL Brewhouse System
- Stainless Steel Fermenters
- CIP Unit
- Milling System
- Automatic Keg Washer
The brewery system was designed to support efficient brewing operations while simplifying transportation and installation for an international project.
The complete setup allows the brewery to manage:

- Equipment positioning references
- Installation workflow guidance
These materials helped the customer better understand the installation process before the equipment arrived on-site.
Remote Brewery Project Support
Although Redwood’s installation team was not physically on-site for this project, the brewery was supported through detailed engineering preparation and project coordination before shipment.
This approach helped the customer complete equipment setup more efficiently while reducing installation uncertainty and project delays.
