A 5000L craft brewery consists of a crushing system, a brewhouse system, a fermentation system, a filtration system, a CIP cleaning system, a cooling system and a control system.
 
The brewhouse -Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
The main components of each pot/tank of the brewhouse system are made of international standard high quality 304 stainless steel. All parts of the pot/tank body that come into contact with materials such as wort are mirror polished or pickled and passivated.
 
Rice cooking pot -Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
Rice flour and some malt flour are mixed with water and brought to a boil for heating the mashed wheat to liquefy and gelatinise the starch.
 
Mash tun- -Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
Mainly used for the breakdown of proteins and the saccharification of starch.
 
Heating- -Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
The heating jacket is designed to allow the heated steam to enter the jacket while preventing condensate from draining out.
 
Kettle -Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
The function of the kettle is to separate the wort from the spent grains in order to obtain a clarified wort with a good extraction rate. The separation process is divided into two stages: the filtration of the raw wort and the washing of the grains. Filtration is the most time-consuming and critical process in the whole saccharification process, affecting the efficiency of the line and the quality of the product.
 
Whirlpool -Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
Purpose: to remove hot condensate and sediment from the hot wort, the whole process is controlled within 20-40 minutes. Process parameters must be: headspace of no less than 15% of full volume. Wort feed rate of 3-5 m/s with counter-clockwise rotation (clockwise). Wort whirlpool clarification with a resting time of 20 minutes.
 
Fermentation system-Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
The cylindrical conical bottom fermenter can be used for pre-fermentation or post-fermentation alone or can combine pre-fermentation and post-fermentation in one tank. It offers good adaptability and also shortens fermentation times and increases fermentation efficiency and has been adopted by most breweries.
 
Filtration systems-Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
In order to make the beer clear and a commercial product, it is clarified and filtered at -1°C. We need to filter and store the beer. The main methods of filtering beer are. Diatomaceous earth filters, cardboard filters, double-flow filters, cross-flow filters (for replacing diatomaceous earth filters), aseptic filters (for filtering pure draft beer).
 
Filling systems-Compete 5000L Craft Brewery Equipment
The filling of beer is an important part of the process. When filling, care must be taken to: avoid beer losses, guarantee the rated filling volume and maintain the quality of the beer. Appropriate measures must be taken to this end. Contamination of the beer, oxidation in contact with air and loss of carbon dioxide from the beer should be prevented. Exposure of the beer to oxygen in any form should be avoided as far as possible; even small amounts of oxygen absorption can affect the quality and shelf life of the beer.
