This particular unit was removed from a brewery closure and is now available through Brewhouse Equipment Group. It is currently stored in our Indianapolis, IN warehouse where it is secure, protected, and ready for immediate shipment to your location.

Product Condition and Background

Unlike equipment that has been idle for long periods, this Columbia MPH-20 was in active service until the brewery closed its doors. That history provides confidence that the boiler has been maintained and kept in operational condition. The included feedwater tank ensures that incoming water is preheated and conditioned before entering the boiler, which reduces stress on the system and extends the unit’s operational lifespan.
