Service tanks, also called bright beer tanks, are the containers structurally identical to maturing tanks.Their typical feature is the certification for pressure 3.0 bar, since for their main function, which is filling the transport packaging ( kegs, bottles ) and draught beer ( in the adjacent restaurant ), it is necessary to keep beer under a higher pressure than is used in maturing tanks.

Beer is filtered and pumped into another tank known as a secondary fermentation or brite tank after the fermentation process is largely complete.
A brite tank allows the beer to further clarify and carbonate before being transferred into a bottle, can or keg for consumption. Some brewpubs also serve beer directly from a brite tank.

Bright beer tanks are often also called serving tanks, tax determination tanks or clear beer tanks (=CBTs), bright beer tanks (=BBTs), maturation or conditioning tanks. We know that bright beer tank is the last vessel that beer comes in contact with to become a beer that is perfectly matured, clarified and ready to be packaged and served.Depending on their application , the beer serving tanks can be glycol jacketed or can be located in a cold room.

The advantage of horizontal beer bright tank is saving place. In the same area we can place a greater number of tanks, if they are arranged in the battery, i.e. several rows one above another. The disadvantage is the difficult cleaning and sanitation of the tanks stored too low or too high. Battery tanks are difficult to clean from outside – in inaccessible surfaces of tanks organic contaminants may accumulate and contaminate the produced beer.

We offer a full line of fermentation tanks and Brite tanks to accommodate your brewhouse. From design and drawings to manufacturing to installation and on-site training, DEGONG team will be there every step of the way to provide a unique, easy-to-operate brewing system that will make brewing great beer easy for your team.

Carbonating a full batch of beer with a carbonating stone in a brite tank provides for much quicker carbonation. The carbonating stone increases the surface area contact with the beer by producing tiny bubbles of CO2, which are more easily absorbed into the beer.
