Mash Mixer, Lauter Tun, Copper/Whirlpool will likely be the most flexible. Mash/Kettle, Lauter Tun, Whirlpool will be harder to re-configure should you need to expand in the future. I have seen combined pre-run/whirlpool vessels that take up less floor space than two separate vessels which is handy and might save a few quid..

M/k + l + k/w

We are planning our brewery out and our next step is to commission our brewhouse. We are going to go with a 3 vessel system for flexibility but I am wondering what, in your opinion, is a better 3 vessel set-up. M,L,K/W or M/L, K, W?
I have seen Mash (steam jacketed), Lauter, Kettle/Whirlpool so the mash tun doubles as a boil kettle for the back to back brewing, BUT has the rakes in it, which can hinder whirlpooling on the second batch. Also, with this first set-up, it seems that once the mash is transferred, the lauter tun does not contain rakes, so spent grain removal must be done by hand.
The other set-up I've seen is Mash/Lauter, Kettle, Whirlpool. So I assume, once the mashtun is cleaned out (via using the rakes) during boiling of the wort, we can be grinding our grist and begin another mash. Once the first batch is whirlpooling, we can lauter into our kettle and begin boiling again.
Correct me if any of this is wrong. BUT I am leaning towards the latter set-up as it seems more suited to efficiently brewing batches back to back with little issue. What's your thoughts?
BrewFab is currently building a Mash Kettle + Lauter + Kettle/Whirlpool for a MBAA brewer who is excited about the beer spectrum possibilities of this set up. The 3vsl setup allows production efficiency with option to decoct in the mash or use a kettle for souring. There are rakes in the Lauder tun for grain removal . NO rakes in the the K/WP so no obstruction. Even if you did a two vessel with M/K/WP +L you would ramp the VFD down on the mixing blades for an efficient WP.

I always thought a wort receiver would speed up our operations more than the addition of a WP. Running off into one while finishing up the boil/WP would be huge. Currently running a MT/LT and KT/WP.Joel Halbleib
