Starting a microbrewery can be an exciting venture, blending the art and science of brewing to create unique and flavorful beers. However, to ensure your microbrewery runs smoothly and produces high-quality brews, you need the right equipment. Here we put together the basic equipment needed for all microbreweries for your reference.

1. Mashing System

This includes a mash tank, a malt mill machine, a lauter tun, a wort pump, a steam generator, and a heat exchanger.
 
The process of brewing starts with milled malt. The milled malt with water is added to a pot and heated. This is followed by extracting the sugar from the malt. The mash moves into the lautering tun, where the wort is separated from the mash. The wort is then boiled at a controlled pace. At this stage, the flavoring and hops are added to the extract before it moves to the next stage.

2. Fermentation/Cooling System

The pieces of equipment at this stage include – a fermentation tank, a container to add the yeast, and a cooling pump.
 
The wort from the previous step is cooled down and the yeast is added. This is the most time-consuming step in the entire brewing process. As the yeast begins to cool, it gets activated and fermentation kicks in.

3. Filtering System

This stage involves a filter pump and a filter tank. Any sediments and leftover particles in the brew are filtered at this stage. The remaining liquid is the beautifully brewed beer. Note that among all the microbrewery equipment, this stage is not mandatory. You can skip investing in filtering equipment if you’re planning to sell the beer unfiltered.

4. Controls

Investing in a central control system makes the entire process easy to handle. So, while looking for brewery equipment suppliers in Pune, check whether your preferred supplier offers PLC control, master boards, etc.

5. CIP System

Clean your equipment is a must to prevent bacterial growth. For sanitization purposes, you will need a tank to hold the alkali (liquor), a sterilization mixture, and a washing pump.

6. Bottling System

A bottling system helps you fill the finished brew in bottles/kegs for selling. You will need a keg, keg pump, tap, and a bottling plant that fits your capacity.
