Primary fermentation tanks and maturation tanks BBT for sale 500-2000L popular

The beer production process can be divided into two phases. The first phase, brewing, is performed inside a brewhouse, where a mixture of malt, water, and hops is used to obtain wort. The second phase, fermentation and maturation, is carried out in specially designed tanks (fermenters and maturation tanks). These tanks are used to transform wort into young beer, which then goes through the maturation process in order to obtain the final product - beer.

The beer production process can be divided into two phases. The first phase, brewing, is performed inside a brewhouse, where a mixture of malt, water, and hops is used to obtain wort. The second phase, fermentation and maturation, is carried out in specially designed tanks (fermenters and maturation tanks). These tanks are used to transform wort into young beer, which then goes through the maturation process in order to obtain the final product - beer.


Primary (main) fermentation

After boiling, the wort is pumped from the kettle into the fermenter. During pumping, the wort passes through the plate heat exchanger, where it is cooled to a suitable temperature. Cooled wort is then aerated with sterile air in order to provide additional oxygen, which is needed so that the yeast can start the fermentation process.


Primary fermentation starts once brewer's yeast is added to the cooled and aerated wort in the fermenter. The main function of the yeast during the primary fermentation phase is to convert sugars into alcohol. This also creates a by-product - carbon dioxide. The fermentation process produces heat, which means the fermenter must enable temperature regulation in order to maintain the desired alcoholic fermentation temperature.

When most of the sugars in the wort are converted into alcohol, the fermentation slows down and the yeast begins to settle at the bottom of the tank. The wort is then cooled to a temperature of 0 to 4 °C. The low temperature accelerates the settling of the yeast at the bottom of the tank.


During primary fermentation, wort is transformed into young or green beer.Young beer is still cloudy and microbiologically unstable. In order to fully develop the desired taste and aromas, the young beer needs to go through a maturation phase - secondary fermentation.


Secondary fermentation (beer maturation)

The young beer is pumped from the fermenter into a maturation tank, where the secondary fermentation (beer maturation) is then carried out under controlled conditions. Compared to primary fermentation, secondary fermentation takes place at lower temperatures and higher pressure values, and lasts longer (3 to 8 weeks).

At this stage, the remaining sugars are converted into CO2. In order to keep the CO2 inside the tank and thus enable its absorption into the beer, you will need a tank that can withstand high pressures. Therefore, secondary fermentation is carried out in pressure tanks.
