Craft brewing is an interesting subject. Doing a good job in craft brewing requires not only an attitude, but also a wealth of knowledge, skilled skills and sophisticated equipment. If you want to make high-quality craft beer, the first step is the selection of equipment. The quality of equipment directly determines the quality of beer, product cost, operating cost and service life. All in all, choosing a guaranteed manufacturer and ensuring the quality of the equipment is an important part.
According to different places of use, craft beer equipment can be divided into home brewing beer equipment, hotel/restaurant small beer equipment, small brewery production equipment, and medium brewery production equipment. The whole set of beer equipment is divided into saccharification tank and fermentation tank, including crushing system, saccharification system, fermentation system, refrigeration system, control system, CIP cleaning system, water treatment system and other components.
1. The saccharification tank, the brain is responsible for the strength online
In the saccharification tank, six steps of crushing, saccharification, filtration, boiling, spin-sinking, and cooling need to be completed. During the whole brewing process, it is in the position of the mind. The material and process of the mashing tank determine the quality and yield of beer from the source.
2. The appearance of the fermentation tank and the "material" coexist
Fermentation tanks are also an integral part of craft brewing equipment. In terms of design, the fermentation tank adopts a standard cone style, which reduces the amount of slag discharge, and the wine body is not prone to impurities and is cleaner. In addition, the isobaric dry casting function with accessories is added, and the sampling valve is added, which is convenient for sampling and measuring sugar, and the sugar measurement is more accurate. The tank is equipped with dual-view mirrors, which can clearly observe the fermentation situation in the tank at all times. The top cover adopts a manhole, which is more convenient to open and clean. The fermentation tank is equipped with a weighing device, which can well grasp the remaining amount of wine in the tank and reasonably plan the next brewing time.
3. One-key cleaning and various combinations to meet various needs
The welding accuracy of the saccharification tank and the fermentation tank has reached the sanitary standard, and the pipes, fittings and valves are all made of stainless steel, which ensures the hygiene and health of the equipment. Between each pipeline, disassembly, assembly and movement are easy and flexible, which ensures the convenient and safe operation of the equipment.
In terms of cleaning, both of them use the CIP cleaning system, which is a complete automatic cleaning system, which is not only convenient and efficient to clean, but also cleans thoroughly without residue, which ensures the quality of brewing.
