Kombucha is a low-alcohol fermented beverage made from tea, water, and sugar through fermentation using a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). During fermentation, yeast converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, acetic acid bacteria further convert the alcohol into organic acids. The result is a beverage with a balance of sweet and sour flavors and a slight effervescence.
For kombucha fermentation, we can use insulated fermentaion tank or single wall fermentation tank. Then when a single wall fermentation tank is suitable?
- Stable indoor temperature
Fermentation room maintained at 20–30℃
Ideal range is typically 24–28℃
- Small to medium production scale
Microbreweries, startups, pilot batches.
Batch-to-batch consistency requirements are relatively flexible.
- Warm climate locations
Tropical and subtropical regions where ambient temperature remains suitable most of the year.
- Primary fermentation only
Sweet tea + SCOBY fermentation.
No need for cooling during fermentation.
- Low-cost project requirements
Single-wall tanks are less expensive than jacketed tanks.
Lower installation and maintenance costs.
But for conditions below, we need to consider jacketed fermentation tank
* Ambient temperature frequently exceeds 30°C.
* Consistent product quality is required year-round.
* Large fermentation volumes generate significant fermentation heat.
* Commercial production requires precise control of acidity, sugar consumption, and flavor profile.
* The brewery is located in regions with large seasonal temperature fluctuations.
