Germany’s largest whisky distillery is currently being built in Dresden. The plan is to produce 450.000 litres per year of the ‘Hellinger 42’ brand in the Saxon capital from September 2021. For the process steps of whisky mash production, the Dresdner Whisky Manufaktur UG decided to cooperate with Ziemann Holvrieka GmbH, Ludwigsburg. The dynamic mash filtration system Nessie in combination with the T-Rex was ordered as key technology.
After start-up of the factory, two brews of 100 hl each are to be produced per day. The system allows for high original wort concentrations of 20 per cent or even more. “This is optimal for the whisky production process and provides us with all the freedom we want”, says Björn Stegemeyer, who, with his company HanseBev, was commissioned with the planning and project design. Furthermore, the system worts supply the yeast with important nutrients, resulting in a fast fermentation and a high final degree of fermentation. Due to the very compact design, it requires little space in the building. The decision was taken due to its attractive economic efficiency compared to other mill systems and the optimal grist composition for the system operation.
Holger Wunsch, sales manager DACH and Eastern Europe at Ziemann Holvrieka GmbH, said, “We are pleased that we were able to open up a new and extremely interesting field of application through the outstanding advantages of our innovative solutions, especially because the initiative for the cooperation came from the customer. We are sure that this grist and lautering system will optimise the process flows for many whisky producers. Everyone who is active in this beverage segment should deal with this technology.”
The company is pleased to be able to rely on the mash filtration. “In Dresden, we are planning not only the largest, but also the most modern distillery in the country. Due to the energy efficiency, the higher yield and the first-class support, we deliberately decided in favour of this cooperation”, says co-initiator Thomas Michalski.
