Beer brewing process and beer equipment configuration

As a fermented beverage, the quality and taste of beer are mainly affected by three factors: process, equipment and raw materials. Beer brewing requires four essential raw materials: barley malt, hops, yeast and water. The equipment used in the beer brewing process must follow and meet the basic requirements of the beer brewing process.

Beer brewing equipment is generally divided into: 1. Malt crushing system. 2. Saccharification system. 3. Fermentation sake system. 4. Refrigeration system. 5. CIP cleaning system. 6. Control system. 7. Filling equipment. 8. Steam, air compressor and other auxiliary systems.

The beer brewing process flow outlines the beer brewing process, equipment configuration and technical requirements. First, check whether all equipment is in place and running normally to ensure that the brewing conditions are met. In addition, the necessary raw materials such as malt, hops, yeast and water need to be prepared.

Beer brewing equipment size selection and output calculation

The amount of beer produced by brewing equipment depends on the size and type of saccharification equipment, the amount of saccharification per day, the number and size of fermentation tanks, and the length of the fermentation cycle. Various equipment has specific specifications for site size, height, water, electricity, gas, etc., which may vary depending on the location.

Understand the industry knowledge of saccharification equipment-it only takes 7-8 hours from malt crushing to wort entering the fermentation tank! Home brewing and craft beer places such as hotels, bars, wine shops and restaurants are equipped with saccharification equipment. We provide saccharification systems with a capacity of 500 liters or 1000 liters. You can choose a two-tank saccharification system, a two-tank three-tank saccharification system, or a two-tank + hot water boiler saccharification system. Efficiently complete 1-2 batches a day, taking into account labor intensity and time management.

The size and type of saccharification equipment depends on the individual site, production capacity requirements and investment budget. The larger the saccharification equipment, the higher the energy consumption and investment cost. However, the cost of later transformation is also relatively high. It is possible to consider the early saccharification to be completed in one step.

Generally, craft beer equipment is used in catering stores such as hotel beer equipment and bar beer equipment, and the tank body is mainly 500L. Smaller ones can choose 300L saccharification equipment, and larger ones can choose 1000L saccharification equipment. The types of saccharification equipment are mostly two-tank three-device and two-device + hot water saccharification equipment. The rent of catering stores is high, and efficient use of space is crucial for equipment. In addition, other factors such as site conditions, production process requirements, and budget need to be considered.

When you are considering entering the home brewing or craft beer industry, you need to have a clear understanding of the beer brewing process and equipment process configuration requirements.
