Craft beer filling precautions

The brewing of craft beer is a complex process, from the selection of raw materials, brewing to filling, every link must be taken seriously. Our winemaker will share with you the dos and don'ts during the bottling process.

1. Beer bottle filling requirements

The filling of beer bottles requires the cleanliness of the bottles to directly affect the quality of beer. There should be no cross-infection in the process of cleaning bottles, and the cleaning rate should meet the requirements for beer bottle cleaning. According to the above requirements, the whole machine adopts two-end structure, and there are two bottles in and out. The washing process adopts multi-tank segmental immersion and internal and external spray cleaning. External marking is used in the marking process, the bottom box of the bottle is made of stainless steel, and a cleaning and sterilization line system is provided separately.

2. Screw cap after filling

Capping is the key process of beer molding and capping. In this process, in addition to solving the general problems of beer filling, we also need to solve the secondary pollution between bottles, caps and beer during the filling process. Therefore, the internal and external structure of the entire combiner, the setting of the filling process route, the conveying of the bottle cap system, and the setting of the CIP cleaning system must meet the requirements of beer bottle production.

3. Working environment requirements for beer filling

The beer bottling environment not only puts forward strict requirements for bottling equipment, but also puts forward strict environmental sanitation requirements for bottling workshops and filling areas. It is recommended to use epoxy resin flooring in the clean room to avoid residual bacteria in the construction joints of the floor tiles. SIP bubble cleaning system required. In this way, the air in the filling area is kept clean, the equipment is clean, and the on-site environment is clean, which provides a reliable environmental guarantee for beer filling. In this case, the bottling system still needs to be equipped with a dust cover and a bottom sterilization tank to allow clean bottles to enter the filling and capping machine.
