What is a Kombucha Brewer?


A Kombucha Brewer integrates important fermentation equipment into one automated unit, simplifying the brewing process and improving consistency. Typical features include stainless steel fermentation tanks, temperature control systems, digital monitoring interfaces, taps, thermowells, and airlocks. The equipment enables precise control of the kombucha brewing process, from initial fermentation to secondary carbonation.


Unlike traditional kombucha brewing equipment that uses plastic kegs and glass bottles, professional equipment has higher durability, sanitary construction and greater scalability. Breweries using these equipment can reliably scale up production from small batches of 6 gallons to commercial capacity of more than 60 gallons while ensuring quality and safety.

Why Temperature Control Is Critical in Kombucha Brewing


Stable temperature is key to kombucha fermentation. Optimal fermentation temperatures are between 24°C and 29°C (75°F and 85°F), when the symbiotic bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) are most active. Outside this temperature range, fermentation slows and flavor quality decreases, which can lead to contamination risks and inconsistent product quality.


Kombucha brewers address these issues with integrated temperature control systems. Stainless steel fermenters are typically equipped with glycol cooling jackets or electric heating jackets connected to digital controllers. These precise controls minimize temperature fluctuations, protect the SCOBY, and ensure vigorous growth of the probiotics and consistent flavor.

Carbonation and Flavor Management with Kombucha Machines


The secondary fermentation stage is key to flavoring and natural carbonation, and is fully supported by kombucha brewing machines. After primary fermentation, the kombucha is transferred to sealed bottles or jars, blended with natural flavors such as fruits, herbs or spices, and naturally carbonated.


Specialized machines with automated bottling lines and pressure monitoring sensors facilitate this process, ensuring safe, consistent carbonation and brewing high-quality flavored kombucha for the commercial market.

Choosing the Right Kombucha Fermenter for Your Business


Choosing the right fermenter size and features is critical:

  • 6-6.5 gallon fermenter: For home brewing or pilot batch production.

  • 60 gallon: For small commercial operations or craft brewpubs.

  • 300+ gallons: Medium-scale commercial production.

  • 1000+ gallons: Industrial-scale production.

Key features to consider include temperature-controlled jackets, integrated sensors, ease of cleaning, tap location, and expandability.

Kombucha into the 21st Century: Automation and Innovation


To truly bring kombucha into the 21st century, manufacturers are investing in smarter brewing methods, automated control systems, and predictive analytics.


New machines support:

  • Automated addition of tea and sugar

  • Remote access to fermentation logs via mobile app

  • Temperature control system with adjustable heating and glycol cooling

  • Carbonation control alarms for secondary fermentation

  • Batch tracking from raw materials to final bottling


These technologies reduce labor requirements and human error while optimizing energy use. Businesses committed to lean operations appreciate automation that allows one operator to monitor multiple kombucha fermenters simultaneously.
