For many beer lovers, starting their own brewery and creating their own products for the market is a desire. It's understandable to try to judge the quality of beer equipment since it plays a central role in beer brewing. There are several factors to consider when judging the quality of small brewery equipment.
 
Manufacturer reputation
One of the biggest factors in judging beer equipment is the reputation of the manufacturer. It also has to do with the more well-known the manufacturer, the more reliable the device itself. There's a good reason for this. Reputation itself is the result of providing quality products and services over a long period of time.
 
Product quality
When purchasing anything, you should know that there are always risks, ranging from small to large. This means that any brewer must ensure the reliability of their product. When purchasing products, you can choose the appropriate style of beer equipment based on daily output and brewing type, or you can choose according to your own business model.
 
Equipment material
Brewing equipment includes saccharification equipment, fermentation tanks, ice water tanks and other double-layer insulated tank components, valve bodies and pipe fittings, all made of sanitary stainless steel.
It also depends on the material thickness of the device and whether the polish inside the device is mirror-like. If the lining thickness is too thin, the pressure will be reduced. If the welding seam is not handled well, it will easily leak air, which will have a great impact on the quality of the beer.
 
Degree of automation
With the continuous integration of new information technology and manufacturing industry, intelligence has become one of the development directions of current beer brewing equipment. The combination of intelligence and beer brewing equipment enables real-time monitoring and data collection of the entire process from raw material input to the end of brewing. Realize the digitization and intelligence of the beer brewing process. Not only is it helpful to improve production efficiency, it is also helpful to improve beer quality.
 
Transportation and logistics costs
The fact that this device exists and will work for the company is great. But another issue that needs to be addressed is logistics. In fact, there are many equipment suppliers for the beer industry. However, there are some other factors to consider.
Considerations are logistical and transportation considerations. On the one hand, it should be known that shipping costs tend to increase and are often added to the final bill.
Another thing to add is whether the equipment is imported from other countries. Duties and taxes are usually required and these will be added to the final bill again. This means that if these factors are taken into account, the final cost of the equipment may increase several times.
 
Customer service and after-sales service
If there's one thing that almost everything you buy has in common, it's that they all break. If for some reason they do fail, the right person should be found to help resolve the issue. This is where things can go wrong. Getting gear is one thing. But equally important is the ability to solve any problem. Furthermore, the solution to the problem should be feasible and should not cost the business a high price.
