Nano breweries are small-scale brewing operations that produce limited quantities of craft beer. These breweries typically focus on unique, artisanal brews and often serve local markets. If you’re passionate about brewing and want to share your creations with the world, setting up your own nano brewery can be a rewarding venture. Today please allow me to discuss with you what brewing equipment is needed to set up a nano brewery.



What Equipment Do I Need For A Nano-Brewery?
 
If you are considering building a commercial nano-brewery, you need to buy the equipment that the brewery needs. Before purchasing equipment, you need to determine the size of the brewery and plan the daily output.
 
No matter what type of beer you are brewing, having the right equipment is essential to opening and operating a brewery. When choosing brewery equipment or a complete turnkey solution, we recommend that you choose a professional brewery equipment manufacturer. They can help you determine the equipment needed to start or expand the brewery.
The following are the equipment needed to open a nano brewery:

Brewhouse Equipment

Brewhouse equipment is the “heart” of the brewery. Brewhouse equipment includes a mash tank, lauter tank, brew kettle, and whirlpool tank. It can help you complete the saccharification and boiling work. Professional brewery manufacturers will customize design and manufacture according to your requirements.

Fermentation Tank

Fermentation tanks provide a place to adapt to microbial life activities and biological metabolism. Modern beer brewing and fermentation workshops have realized semi-automated or automated operations. But, some operations in the fermentation process still must labor. The number of fermentation tanks needs to be determined according to your required daily output and fermentation cycle.

Bright Tank

The bright tank is a container for storing and carbonated beer, it is also called the brite tank. The bright tank is an important part of the workflow of professional beer brewers. It can be used to store and carbonate beer, thus eliminating the trouble of cleaning beer barrels. If you pursue the clarity and carbonization of craft beer, then you must need a bright tank.

Beer Filling Machine

The beer filling machine is the core equipment of the beer production line. It can help you transfer the beer to kegs or cans. Beer filling machines can be divided into bottle filling machines, can filling machines, and keg filling machines. These beer filling machines can also be used to bottle various sparkling wines and sodas. For example beer, cider, kombucha, carbonated drinks.

Cooling Systems

When brewing beer, it is necessary to keep the beer in a more suitable temperature range. When the wort is above 140°F, it will inhibit bacteria and wild yeast. So, you need a cooling system to quickly cool down the wort.

Brewing Pump

The three main types of brewing pumps include the peristaltic, diaphragm, and centrifugal pumps.
 
Peristaltic pumps push liquid through a flexible tube by mechanically compressing the tubing. This works the same way as squeezing toothpaste out of a tube but in a continuous circuit.
Diaphragm pumps move water into and out of a mechanical diaphragm by increasing and reducing the pressure in the pump housing.
Centrifugal pumps are the most common brewing pumps. Centrifugal pumps use a shaft-driven impeller that spins inside a casing. The pump sucks liquid into the inlet of the casing and throws it to the casing’s outlet before forcing it through the discharge port. The force of being thrown to the outside of the casing quickly propels the liquid.
 
If your budget is limited, you can choose to buy second-hand brewery equipment, but second-hand brewery equipment may not match your brewing process. Tiantai Beer Equipment can provide you with the most suitable turnkey solution. If your budget is limited, we can also provide you with reduced configuration without affecting the brewing process, so that you can save your budget. If you are planning to build a brewery or expand the brewery, we warmly welcome your proposal and we are happy to do our best to support you!
