Before buying beer brewing equipment, you first need to clarify your production goals.

  • If it is a personal hobby or a small family brewing, you can choose small equipment with a capacity of 50L to 500L, which is easy to operate and low cost.

  • For commercial purposes such as hotels and bars, it is recommended to choose medium-sized equipment with a capacity of 500L to 3000L to meet a certain scale of supply needs.

  • Industrial-level large-scale production plants need to be equipped with equipment of more than 3000L and equipped with an automated control system to improve efficiency.

The material of brewing equipment directly affects the quality of the beer and the service life of the equipment.

  • Stainless steel has become the main material for beer brewing equipment due to its corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, non-toxic and odorless characteristics.

  • Although aluminum equipment is relatively cheap, it may have adverse effects on the beer after long-term use, so it is not recommended for high-end beer production.

Beer brewing equipment mainly consists of the following parts:

  • Mash Tank: used to convert malt into wort. When choosing, pay attention to the heating method (electric heating or gas heating) and temperature control accuracy.

  • Fermentation tank: responsible for the fermentation process of beer. Stainless steel fermentation tanks have good sealing and temperature control performance, which can effectively prevent contamination by bacteria.

  • Storage tank: used for beer maturation and storage. The capacity should be reasonably configured according to the production scale.

  • In addition, modern beer brewing equipment also integrates PLC control system, which can realize automatic operation, reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency.
