A small vessel brewing system generally refers to a group of equipment used to brew beer on a small scale. These systems usually consist of multiple containers, each with a specific function and purpose. The following are the main components of a small brewery container brewing system: mash/lauter tun, boil/swirl tun, fermenter, wine storage tank.
These vessels are usually made of stainless steel and can be insulated to help maintain temperature control during the brewing process. They often include sensors, displays and control panels to help winemakers monitor and manage the brewing process. The transfer of wort between these vessels is usually accomplished by pipes and pumps. The size and capacity of microbrewery vessel brewing systems can be customized according to specific needs.
1-vessel brewing system for small breweries
The 1-vessel brewing system is the most basic brewing system and is suitable for small breweries with low production volumes. The system contains one vessel for mixing malt and water to make wort, which is then boiled and transferred to another vessel for fermentation. This system has the following advantages:
Simple structure, easy to operate and clean
Small footprint, suitable for breweries with limited space
