The Bright beer tank with direct draw tap handle for serving beer
A young beer must be properly conditioned and stored if it’s to become a mature, well-rounded, fermented and carbonated craft beverage. Specifically when the fermentation process is complete, a newborn beer needs to be filtered, chilled, carbonated and aged into a sophisticated and seasoned draft, which takes a variety of vessels and processes. There’s no one particular way to do this. A uni-tank is a fermentation tank that has both primary and secondary fermenting and aging functions in one tank. Other craft breweries will use a conical fermentation vessel and a conditioning tank for aging and maturing.
Whatever the process, after conditioning (which can take anywhere from one to six or more weeks), the beer is filtered to remove any remaining yeast and large proteins. That clarified beer is known as bright beer because of its non-cloudy nature. That bright beer is then transferred to a bright beer tank. Often called a “brite” beer tank, serving tank or secondary tank, a bright tank is the vessel in which beer is placed after primary fermentation and filtering, so it can further mature, clarify and carbonate, as well as be stored for kegging, bottling, canning and packaging. In brewpubs, bright beer tanks can even do double-duty as serving vessels.
Though the engineering and function of a bright tank isn’t nearly as complicated as a brewhouse or bottling line, these vessels have important functions and maintenance items. For instance, temperature is very important. Your typical fermenter needs to run at 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit, but you want your beer and bright tank at near freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) to get it to carb up properly. Bright tanks must be engineered to be cold and hold pressure, sometimes act as post filtration and be easy to clean and service.
In brewpub,the brite beer tank could be designed with tap handle.See following pictures
Those brite beer tank with direct draw tap handle will be placed right behind the bar, the waiter could take cup of beer for guests easily.
It will replace beer selling machine and beer kegs. The cooling unit will service for the brite beer tank cooling down also.
The direct draw tap is extended from the sample valve,you could get beer from tap easily because of the tank’s pressure itself, no need extra CO2 cylinder;and the draw tap could be removed easily for cleaning, it has three Tri-clamp connection for easy remove and one butterfly valve for control beer out flow.
