Through the function of yeast and temperature control, wort will be converted into beer in fermenter. The fermentation cycle is commonly 7-20 days.
The design of the fermenter is generally a double-layer tank with a thermal insulation layer and an ice water jacket, which is advantageous for temperature control. Different temperature control methods can bring different flavors and taste to beer. In addition, the fermenter also needs to be equipped with pressure control accessories - safety valves and mechanical pressure relief valves. Because the fermentation produces carbon dioxide, the pressure inside the tank becomes larger, the excessive pressure needs to be released, and a part of the carbon dioxide is retained, which makes the taste of the drink more refreshing.
The tank body is welded with high quality SUS304 steel plate, and all valve components are also made of SUS304. The following is a list of configurations for reference only:
