PLC Automatic/semi Auto Control Customized Combined Steam Heated 3-vessel 2000L Beer Brewhouse Commercial Brewery

Beer brewhouse introduction:

Brewhouses are comprised of several key pieces of brewing equipment. The whole brewhouse has four function,which is mash,lauter,boiling,whirlpool. In the skilled hand of the brewmaster, convert grain that has been milled through a specialty grain mill, into sweet liquid called “wort”.  Wort is subsequently fermented and finished in specialized beer tanks called fermenters and brite tanks.

The four steps above are called beer mashing and happens in beer brewhouse. We can combined the four steps freely,such as mash/lauter tank+boiling/whirlpool tank, mash tank+lauter tank+boiling/whirlpool tank........For the 2000L commercial brewery equipment,3-vessels with "mash tank+lauter tank+boiling/whirlpool tank" is the common choice.

1.What is a Mash Tun?

The mash tun is a key component of a brewhouse and is where grain, previously cracked in the grain mill, is combined with metered hot water to convert complex starches into more readily-fermentable simple sugars. The mash tun may stand alone or be combined with a lauter tun to create a mash tun/lauter tun combination.

2.What is a Lauter Tun?

The Lauter Tun is a key component of a brewhouse and is used to recirculate wort over a grain bed in a clarifying process called vorlauf. Sugars are rinsed and extracted from the grain during the sparge cycle within the lauter tun. Wort being transferred to the brew kettle is lastly separated from grain, generally using a false bottom filter screen in the lauter tun.

3.What is a Brew Kettle/whirlpool tank?

Brew Kettles, key components of any brewhouse, are where wort is boiled and reduced for approximately 60 to 90 minutes. During boil, initial hop additions are introduced into the brewing process. After boil is complete the wort is whirlpooled to separate unwanted solids from the desired liquid. It is generally recommended that brew kettles be made of stainless steel or some other sturdy, nonreactive material. In addition, brew kettles should be over-sized at a minimum of 40% to reduce the risk of boil-over.
