The Importance of Micro Brewing Equipment in Beer Brewing Process
Recent years has been seen an increasing demand for self brewed beer that mainly led to the need of micro brewing equipment. Micro brewing is based on the concept that the beer is brewed according to your taste, as well as you can enjoy fresh and tasty beer whenever you want. This is the reason, why more and more people are getting into this practice of making beer.
However, the beers that are manufactured by using micro brewing equipment are known to be the preservative free. There are many variants of beer that can be produced in microbrewery such as with different flavors. The beer which is prepared using micro brewing equipments is fresh and chill. Well, this method can be installed in any place for doing the brewing process. The space requirement for this process is very much less and can be easily made. But when setting up the malt milling and other raw material storage that time we require some extra space. It can be set up either in basement or top floor depending on the buyers and availability of the space.
Micro brewing equipment mainly includes two vessel brew house, chilling system, fermentation system, CIP system, beer storage, filtration system and dispensing system. The equipments are provided with the programmable logic controller by the system for controlling the process in a proper manner. Let us now discuss about few micro brewing equipment that are used in brewing process:
Malt Mill: The machine appears like a roller grinder that produces the malt, mainly consists of two cylindrical drums with same diameter. The drums rotate in opposite direction in order to generate force and shearing to smash the malt.
Glass Bottle Rinser Filler: The glass bottle filling is the complete process of glass bottle washing. At final step the line, conveyor system, labeling, packing in case and strapping these are manufactured.
Heat Exchange: This is used to reduce the temperature of the hot wort for refrigerating both the sides. Before starting the fermentation wort oxygenator is used for injecting oxygen. This process is important for fermentation process.
Fermentation Tank: It is been constructed by using conical tank, all tanks are fitted with high quality for accurate temperature indications.
Bright Beer Tank: This tank is referred as the maturing tanks. It consists of dish bottom and also fitted with high quality solenoid valves with tank temperature.
Refrigeration System: The process mainly helps in fermentation. There are various types of recipes for beer at different temperature that are controlled by the refrigeration system.
Asepsis Tank: These are light weight and single walled ribbed tanks used for storage purpose. This tank is suitable for breweries, brewpub, dairy plants, restaurants and other industrial water purifying purpose.
Lastly, these types of micro brewing equipment help in producing beer in brewing process.
