Beer Fermentation is the process by which yeast converts the glucose in the wort to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. Before beer fermentation process, the cooled wort is transferred into beer fermentation tank with yeast.
The beer fermenters usually take batches of wort of beer brewing equipment capacity to fill one beer fermentation tank.
Since beer fermentation takes at least two weeks, the output capacity of the brewery is not only limited by the beer brewery equipment capacity, but also by how many beer fermentation tanks they have.

If the beer being made is an ale, the wort will be maintained at a constant temperature of 68 F (20 C) for about two weeks. If the beer is a lager, the temperature will be maintained at 48 F (9 C) for about six weeks. Since fermentation produces a substantial amount of heat, the tanks must be cooled constantly to maintain the proper temperature.  

The fermenter is sealed off from the air except for a long narrow vent pipe, which allows carbon dioxide to escape from the fermenter.
Since there is a constant flow of CO2 through the pipe, outside air is prevented from entering the fermenter, which reduces the threat of contamination by stray yeasts.

While beer fermentation is still happening, and when the specific gravity has reached a predetermined level, the carbon dioxide vent tube is capped.
Now the vessel is sealed, so as fermentation continues, pressure builds as CO2 continues to be produced. This is how the beer gets most of its carbonation, and the rest will be added manually later in the process. From this point on, the beer will remain under pressure (except for a short time during bottling).

When fermentation has finished, the beer is cooled to about 32 F (0 C). This helps the remaining yeast settle to the bottom of the fermenter, along with other undesirable proteins that come out of solution at this lower temperature.

Now that most of the solids have settled to the bottom, the beer is slowly pumped from the fermenter and filtered to remove any remaining solids. From the filter, the beer goes into another tank, called a bright beer tank.
This is its last stop before bottling or kegging. Here, the level of carbon dioxide is adjusted by bubbling a little extra CO2 into the beer through a porous stone.

Within Tiantai beer brewing equipment, brewhouse, beer fermentation tank, bright beer tank are all as main products. The specifications can be customized according to the beer brewing requirements.
