Think About Your Business’s Needs Before you pick a good beer equipment,Please consider the capacity you really need.The capacity depends on the size of the saccharification equipment and the daily mashing batch; and the size and number of fermentation tanks.First, the relationship between beer brewing process and equipment configurationThe brewing process of beer equipment mainly considers the matching of the requirements of the saccharification process and the equipment function requirements. It mainly involves three aspects:1. The choice of saccharification process is the method of boiling out or leaching.2. Hot water washing, or cold water (tap water) washing.3. Equipment heating method: electric heating, steam heating, or direct heating?Electric heating or steam heating mainly involves cost issues and saccharification process issues.
Electric heating: install electric heating tube in the tank of the saccharification equipment, and directly heat it by electric energy; boil hot water and boil wort.
_ Electric heating is applicable to the “dip method” and is not suitable for “step by step heating”. Electric heating is not recommended for equipment over 1 ton.
_ Steam heating: The outer jacket of the saccharification equipment is equipped with a steam jacket, and a matching steam boiler (scientific name: steam generator) is heated by steam. (Type of steam generator: electric boiler, oil boiler, gas boiler.)
_ Direct fire heating: There is a furnace under the saccharification equipment, burning natural gas or coal. Direct-fired heating equipment now mainly burns natural gas.
In some places abroad, the price of steam generators is extremely high. In order to reduce equipment procurement costs, direct fire heating is used.In terms of operation, electric heating and steam heating: steam heating equipment is easy to clean, and electric heating maintenance is laborious. For brewhouse, steam heating is recommended.Electric heating can only be carried out by the method of heating (heating water and boiling wort with electric heating tube), and stepwise heating method is not suitable for saccharification. Electrical heating is more troublesome than steam heating. Electric heating is locally high and unevenly heated.In terms of investment costs: Electric heating saves a boiler money than steam heating.
Let me tell you more about beer brewing equipment to help you learn more and make the right choice:1.Micro beer brewing equipmentMini-beer refers to beer made in a small brewery (also known as a craft brewery). In fact, the beer they produce is also called craft beer.The process of selecting the ideal miniature beer brewing equipment is as follows:A. Batch size –The batch should be prepared to meet the needs of the craft brewery. The exact quantity produced should be sufficient for small-scale businesses to maintain beer supplies. This is usually much less than the amount used in large-scale beer production.B. Maintenance –In general, it should be easy to maintain, but this is especially important for microbreweries because maintenance itself is a cost.C. Staff requirements –The number of people required to run the machine should be limited, as labor costs are often expensive for small beer brewers.D. About manufacturers –To reduce costs, it is preferred that the beer equipment be manufactured locally.E. Add-ons –Check whether the beer manufacturing equipment has all necessary accessories, such as thermometers, pressure gauges, etc. For small-scale production, these accessories are usually not sold with the main equipment. This is a better option than buying a complete brew group or set all at once.
Commercial beer equipmentThe term commercial beer refers to beer that is mass produced on a commercial basis. This happens to be the main form of beer produced today, and it is a huge industry involving large companies.The process of selecting the ideal commercial beer brewing equipment is given below: A. Batch size –The equipment should be able to produce large quantities of beer for each batch. This is necessary given the scale of these businesses and the need to produce large quantities of beer every day.B. Maintenance –The maintenance factor should be almost minimal and can be done by the equipment operator. Nano breweries, like micro breweries, can only spend a limited amount of cash, so maintenance costs must be kept to a minimum.C. Staff requirements –The number of people required to run the operation should be limited. However, this is not as big as small and micro beer makers.D. About manufacturers –It does not matter whether the device is manufactured domestically or abroad, as long as it can complete the job. For mass manufacturing, productivity is paramount.E. Add-ons –The equipment sold tends to include everything and is usually much more complicated than any ordinary home brewing kit. It is therefore unfounded to worry that it may not have the required additional brewing supply. However, at the same time, it is necessary to check the details of the other hardware that comes with the main device to ensure that it meets the needs of the company.
Nano Beer Equipment The term nano beer is actually related to the craft beers, in the sense that both are produced in small batches. At the same time however, nano beers are produced in quantities that can be considered as extremely limited, in comparison to craft beers, with most batches of nano beers limited to about three barrels at most.The process of selecting the ideal nano beer brewing equipment is given below:
A. Batch Size –The amount of beer produced by nano beer equipment should be just enough for the required batches of about beer barrels. Anything more and it will lead to wastage of input.
B. Maintenance –The amount of maintenance required for nano beer equipment should be very limited, given that the workforce is limited as well. This is particularly important for nano brewers, considering that many of them tend to be used for personal purposes or small businesses, which cannot afford additional maintenance charges.
C. Personnel Requirements –Just like in the case of craft beers, it is important that the personnel required for the nano beer equipment are very limited.D. About the Manufacturer –It is preferable to buy the equipment from local companies rather than foreign ones, given that the costs are usually high.E. Add-Ons –It is highly unlikely that all the necessary additional hardware like pressure gauges, thermometers and so on, are provided with the main brewing kit. This is therefore something very important to check up, before making the purchase.
Last but not the least, it should also be added that there are other things worth considering as well in this regard. These include things like the cost of the equipment, after sales service and so on, all of which tend to be rather general in nature, rather than being something unique to each of the above mentioned categories of beer making equipment.The above mentioned list is but some of the most important ones around, and nothing more. Depending on your unique needs and requirements, other considerations may also have to be taken into account, when getting the ideal hardware for the job.
In summary, the configuration requirements and process recommendations for purchasing small and medium-sized beer equipment are as follows:1. Gradually heat saccharification. 2. Rinse in hot water. 3. Steam heating.Investment suggestion: The size and type of brewing equipment should be considered according to personal premises, capacity requirements and investment budget. The larger the saccharification equipment, the higher the energy consumption and the higher the investment cost. But the cost of later reconstruction is relatively high. It can be considered that pre-saccharification can be completed in one step.
