As craft beer becomes more and more popular all over the world, more and more craft breweries, beer bars, etc. have been established, and many restaurants have also begun to purchase beer brewing equipment to brew craft beer to meet the needs of customers.
As a beer brewing equipment manufacturer, we have done a lot of projects. It is not difficult to find that different customers have different needs for brite tanks, and many customers' beer brewing projects are not equipped with brite tanks. Why is this? Under what circumstances is a brite tank necessary? Let's discuss it together!
 
Benefits of Brite Tanks

1. Larger Quantity of Beer Production
Some facilities brew so much beer the process of brewing and packaging are two separate operations. In these instances, fermenting beer and serving it would need to be done in two separate areas of the brewhouse, making unitanks impractical. By moving the beer out of the fermenter and into a brite tank, it makes packing easier and frees up the fermenter for another batch, allowing a brewhouse to make larger quantities of beer.
 
2. Improved Clarity
Brite beer tanks are called “brite” because of the clarity of the beer they produce. When beer goes from a fermenter to a brite tank, the yeast is filtered out first. This extra layer of filtration before undergoing further maturation and carbonation produces a clearer beer, which some brewhouses prefer.
 
Choosing Between the Tanks

When To Choose a fermenter
Fermenter are the perfect choice for microbreweries or brewpubs. For these facilities, space is often limited, the brewery isn’t producing as many barrels of beer, and the emphasis is less on packaging and more on serving brews directly. Fermenter work well in these contexts because they save space and labor without muddling the productivity of a separate packaging team.
 
When To Choose a Brite Beer Tank
Brite tanks are better for larger-scale productions, especially productions that rely on packaging and shipping much of their product. Brite tanks allow you to leave more fermenters open at a time. And because brite tanks can carry more liquid in them at a time, they lend themselves to larger beer outputs. Generally, if you’ve gone over the edge and are brewing more barrels than a microbrewery, it may be a good idea to look at a brite tank.
Hope the above discussion makes sense to you.
