The number of fermentation vessels (also known as beer fermenters) you need in a brewery system depends on various factors, including the scale of your brewery, the types of beers you plan to produce, your production schedule, and your desired fermentation capacity. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but I can provide some general guidance.
Batch Size: Consider the size of your typical beer batch. If you're brewing small batches, you might need fewer fermenters. Conversely, larger batches will require more fermenters.
Production Capacity: Determine how much beer you plan to produce within a given time frame. This could be per week, month, or year. Calculate the total volume of beer you want to produce and divide it by the batch size to get an idea of how many batches you need to ferment.
Turnaround Time: Fermentation time varies depending on the type of beer. Ales typically ferment faster than lagers. If you're producing ales, you might be able to reuse fermenters more quickly. Lagers might require longer fermentation and lagering times, necessitating more fermenters to maintain a consistent production schedule.
Diversity of Beers: If you plan to produce a wide range of beer styles simultaneously, you'll need more fermenters. This allows you to ferment different beers without cross-contamination.
Redundancy and Maintenance: Having some extra fermenters beyond your usual production needs can be beneficial. It provides flexibility in case of unexpected issues with a fermenter or allows you to stagger fermentation for different batches.
Scaling Plans: Consider your future growth plans. If you anticipate expanding production in the future, it's a good idea to invest in additional fermenters to accommodate increased demand.
Equipment Cleaning and Sanitization: Keep in mind that fermenters need to be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between batches. Having a spare fermenter can be useful during cleaning and maintenance processes.
Budget: The cost of fermenters can be a significant investment. Balance your production needs with your budget constraints.
Ultimately, the exact number of fermenters will depend on your unique situation. A small craft brewery might start with a few fermenters and gradually expand as demand grows. Larger commercial breweries might have a higher number of fermenters to maintain consistent production of a variety of beer styles.
