Brewhouse system selection for purchasing beer equipment

The craft beer mashing system is mainly includes gelatinizing tun, mashing tun,  lauter tank, kettle tank, and whirlpool tank, which constitute a mashing system of a large-scale brewery. The main parts of each tun/tank of the saccharification system are all made of high-quality 304 stainless steel material of international standard. Using manufacturing techniques just like modern automatic plasma, laser line cutting and TIG full welding, the inner mirror polishing without dead corner, external grinding and polishing process while retaining the perfect weld, to ensure that provide advanced technology, quality and cheap but luxury and beautiful saccharification system for customers.
● Gelatinizing tun
The function of the gelatinization tun is to mix the rice flour and part of the malt flour with water and boil it, and it is used to the mash, so that the starch is liquefied and gelatinized.
Why do you need to add accessories? Many people think that the use of low-priced and starch-rich cereals as auxiliary materials can increase wort yield and make cheap wort to achieve cost reduction. It helps to reduce the color of the beer and improve the flavor of the beer and improve the beer's abiotic stability. The reason why the gelatinized tun are not used is the materials of beer brewing is pure malt in the craft beer industry.
●Mash tun
1. Adopting high-efficiency dimple plate jacket heat transfer technology and applying scientific steam turbulence principle to achieve maximum heat conduction and energy-saving effect, and adopting fully automated temperature control technology to ensure the heating rate and the accuracy of heat preservation time in various saccharification and gelatinization stages.
2. Adopting the international advanced suspension speed control system, frequency conversion and self-control stirring methods to ensure the uniform mixing of mash in the saccharification process, which can ensure the best quality and the highest yield of beer.
●Lauter tun
1. Advanced scientific special-shaped rake knife construction system and hydraulic automatic lifting technology ensure that the trough is even and the trough is stable. It also improves the filtration speed and production efficiency, and maintains the good transparency and juice yield of wort.
2. It adopts internationally advanced suspension and stirring devices, and is equipped with frequency conversion, speed regulation, and automatic control technologies to make the operation more convenient and flexible, and easy to maintain and save costs.
●Brew kettle
1. The application of advanced boiling and pressurization technology in the tun to increase the boiling strength and promote the polymerization of condensables such as proteins, allowing rapid separation of boiling wort and polymer.
2. Take the extracorporeal circulation mixing technology to accelerate the heating rate of the wort in the early stage of boiling, so that the wort is kept at a uniform temperature during the heating process.
●Whirlpool tnank
1, according to the best unit of filter area on the amount of storage of wheat grains, enlarge the diameter ratio of the tank body, reduce the swirling speed, promote the sedimentation and coagulation of solidification, to achieve the best separation.
2. The storage tank with hot coagulation can increase wort yield and reduce environmental pollution.
 
The entire beer mashing system is composed of the above five kinds of monomers with different functions. The above is copied to let everyone know the function of the mashing system. Next, it will show you the beer equipment mashing system.
1、2 vessels brewhouse
 This device is currently used in the industry more common, mainly composed of saccharification filter tank + boiled rotary sink tank, saccharification filter tank function: saccharification and filtration, boiling rotary sink function: boiling and spin-sinking. If you reconfigure a hot water tank, work efficiency can be increased by 50%.
2 vessels brewhouse system advantages:
1 The equipment is simple and the investment is small.
2 The pipeline is simple and easy to operate.
3 The equipment is of low height and does not require high site height.
Its main disadvantages are:
1 The wort filtration can only adopt suction filtration (that is, the mash is in the filter tank and the wort is pumped through the wort pump), the filtration speed is relatively slow, and the winemaker is required to have a higher requirement. The layers are tight and difficult to filter;
2 According to the process, the customer adds a stirrer in the boiling boiler. Because the boiling boiler has both the function of the rotary sinker, the stirrer will affect the spin-sinking effect.
3 Washed water can only be prepared in advance, stored in a container or fermenter
5 Only glycosylation method can be used in the saccharification process. The saccharification temperature is less and the malt quality is higher.
6 Normally only two batches can be brewed in a day, and the winemaker is required to work overtime.
 
2、2 tank 3 vessels brewhouse
 
This type of equipment is generally a boiling pot + saccharification filter tank + rotary sink tank, and its filtration and sedimentation tank actually consists of an upper and lower two-layer structure. The upper layer is a filter tank and the lower layer is a spin-on sink, commonly found in beer bars and restaurants.
2 tank 3 vessels brewhouse system advantages:
1 The overall more compact footprint.
2 The heating area of the steam jacket of the boiler is generally large and the heating rate is fast.
3 The filter tank is above the sedimentation tank and can be naturally filtered (wort is filtered by gravity). The filtration speed is fast and the wort is clear and bright. Even if the operation is incorrect, there will be no phenomenon that the layer of wheat stout will cause the deformation of the screen plate. .
4 The rotary sink groove is a vertical cylindrical groove design. Because it is a special rotary sinker, the rotary sinker is designed as a tangential rotary sinker, so the separation effect of hops and thermal coagulum is better.
5 When the wort is filtered, the boiled pan can be used to prepare the dilute water, and the distillers can be washed and dried at the same time as the filtration. The saccharification time can be shortened by 30 to 50 minutes, and the use rate is higher than the two-type mashing system.
6 Generally, two batches can be brewed during the day. If you think about working overtime, you can brew 3 to 4 batches a day. In the peak period of beer sales, you can make more wine in the shortest time.
Its main disadvantages are:
1 The equipment is generally higher than traditional saccharification two-equipment equipment, and has certain requirements for the height of the site.
2 The equipment investment is higher than traditional saccharification two-equipment equipment, and the combined three-type saccharification is done at a maximum of 1000L, and the volume is limited.
 
 
4、3Vessel Brewhouse
 
Such equipment is common in small and medium sized breweries. The equipment has a variety of combinations. Common combinations are as follows:
1. mash & lauter & kettle/whirlpool tun
2. mash/lauter&kettle&whirlpool tun
3. mash/kettle& lauter& whirlpool tun
4. mash/lauter&kettle/whirlpool tun with hot water tank
Its main advantages are:
1 The daily brewing batches are similar to the combined three-piece equipment.
2 The equipment is shorter.
More than three combinations can be selected, and later can be converted to four-type saccharification.
Its main disadvantages are:
1 Filtering can only be done with suction filtration.
2 The equipment covers a large area and has more investment.
 
 
5、4 vessels brewhouse
 
Such equipment is commonly found in small or medium-sized breweries and will be equipped with hot water tanks in addition to saccharification, which can greatly increase production efficiency.
Its main advantages are:
The division of saccharification is clear, the pot time is significantly reduced, and the production efficiency is increased. Up to 5 batches can be brewed per day.
Its main disadvantages are:
1 The equipment volume and land occupation are relatively large. Under the current transportation conditions, such equipment can only achieve a maximum capacity of 3000L. When the volume is large, it requires on-site construction.
2 The equipment investment is large.
