A conductivity sensor is a device that measures the ability of a solution to conduct electricity. In the context of brewery equipment, a conductivity sensor is used to measure the concentration of ions in the brewing process and ensure consistency in the quality of the final product. 



Here are some specific applications of conductivity sensors in brewery equipment:
 
Wort monitoring
Wort is the sugary liquid that is extracted from malted barley during the brewing process. Conductivity sensors are used to measure the conductivity of the wort during the mashing process, which helps to determine the sugar content of the wort. This information is used to ensure that the wort is of the correct quality and consistency.
 
Fermentation monitoring
During fermentation, yeast converts the sugar in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Conductivity sensors can be used to monitor the progress of fermentation by measuring the conductivity of the liquid. As the yeast consumes the sugar, the conductivity of the liquid changes, providing information about the fermentation process.
 
Cleaning validation
Brewery equipment needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure that it is free of bacteria and other contaminants. Conductivity sensors can be used to validate the effectiveness of the cleaning process by measuring the conductivity of the rinse water. If the conductivity of the rinse water is high, it indicates that there is still residue from the cleaning solution on the equipment.
 
Quality control
Conductivity sensors can be used to monitor the conductivity of the finished product, such as beer or cider. This helps to ensure that the product is of the correct quality and consistency, and that it meets the required standards for conductivity.
If you are planning to build a brewery or expand the brewery, Tiantai company provides 5-150HL fermentation tanks, and also provides a complete set of turnkey brewery projects. We warmly welcome your proposal and we are happy to provide you with support.
