Roughness measuring instrument
- It is used to detect the surface roughness of the tank body, ensuring that the tank body has no scratches, no gully and smooth.
- Not only the inside of tank surface will be inspected, the welding line out of tank also will be confirmed.
Stainless steel plate thickness gauge
Ability to quickly detect the thickness of SUS plate thickness, ensure that it is same with the customer's request. Provide the correct and good quality equipment to the buyers.
FAQs
- First and foremost, a conical fermenter allows you to drop the trub and yeast out of the beer before and during fermentation by using the bottom outlet. This removes solids that contribute to off-flavors in your beer.
- Second, it allows you to capture your good yeast near the end of fermentation for re-use either immediately or later (you can store it in your refrigerator for a week or two).
- Third, you can use the same tank, without having to bother with a transfer, for primary and secondary fermentation.
- Lastly, it is very convenient for racking your beer directly into kegs using the side outlet. The bottom line is that a conical fermenter takes a lot of hassle out of home brewing.
- Durability. Plastic is not as durable as stainless steel.
- Sanitary. Often brewers switch from large plastic tubs to glass fermenters due to concerns about the inevitable scratches that occur in plastic. If you purchase a plastic conical, consider that you will have to be extremely careful about causing bacteria-harboring scratches. Also, plastic fermenters will only have threaded fittings; there is no option for sanitary tri-clamp fittings like the kind made by Stout Tanks and Kettles.
- Light Exposure. Plastic conicals are somewhat translucent. We suggest wrapping a towel around it to prevent harmful UV light from reaching your beer. With stainless, you have no worries about that.
- Cost. Plastic conicals will almost always cost less – in the short term. However, because they are more susceptible to scratches, you could spend more in the long term because you will have to replace it sooner.
- Is it easy to clean? Can you reach inside it?
- Can you easily inspect it for cleanliness?
- Can you see the welds inside the fermenter?
- Do you need to remove a lot of parts to clean it?
- Are there threaded parts with nooks and crannies that need to be dismantled to ensure cleanliness?
- Are the welds generally smooth, without pits?
- Can valves be disassembled for cleaning? (This does not apply to butterfly valves due to their sanitary design)
- Are there non-stainless metal parts, such as legs, that will rust with time and use?
- Is it made with 304 or 316 stainless steel?
- Does it include all necessary valves, and hose barbs, etc.?
- Drain the trub 30 minutes or so after you dump your wort in (before you add yeast).
- Dump the yeast when fermentation slows down significantly.
- Dump a little yeast each day for several days in a row. Don't try to get it all out in one day. Once it gets very runny stop and close the valve. The more highly flocculent the yeast is the more it needs time to resettle so you can dump it again.
A jacketed fermenter has an extra "skin" on the outside of the tank that allows liquid to flow around the outside of the tank. By controlling the temperature of the liquid that flows around the outside of the tank, you control the temperature of your fermentation.
For those interested in building a commercial quality home brewery, a jacketed fermenter may be a better choice.
For home brewers, a conical fermenter does the trick just fine.
Fermentation Tank
Also known as FV, a fermentation vessel or fermenter is the tank/barrel/container where the wort is turned into beer. You could say that the fermenter is where all the magic happens.
Fermentation tanks are an important part of every brewery, from the smallest home brewery facility to the largest commercial brewery enterprise. While any vessel can ostensibly be used as a fermenter, the technology used to make these vessels today is state of the art.
Cylindrical beer fermenters with cooling jackets, insulation and conical bottoms. Stainless steel fermenter with top round head and custom round body.
All welding is done under controlled protective gas atmosphere; the interior and exterior finishes are perfect and the cooling jacket completes the highest standard of fermenter/vessel.
Choose us to provide PED and AS1210 certification for your custom fermentation vessels, meeting your country’s government requirements anywhere in the world.

Beer equipment deep bed multi-level filtration system
Beer equipment deep bed multi-level filtration system The deep-bed multi-level filtration system of beer equipment is mainly composed of two parts, namely the filter and the filter pad. The filter is a closed system consisting of a vertical stainless steel body, top and bottom pans, filter elements and compression system. The filter pads are stacked in a vertical stainless steel body. If you need to improve the beer filtration capacity, you only need to increase the number of filter pads. At the
Factors Affecting Sugar Conversion During Fermentation in Home-brewed Beer Equipment
Factors Affecting Sugar Conversion During Fermentation in Home-brewed Beer Equipment Home-brewed beer equipment manufacturers talk about the factors that affect the speed of sugar conversion during beer fermentation. 1. Characteristics of wort The rate of fermentation depends first of all on the degree of separation of cold and hot coagulants in the wort, the oxygen supply to the wort and the composition of the wort. This cold coagulum is mainly formed when the wort is boiled due t

Several processes of beer production process that are easy to be infected with bacteria In the brewing process of beer equipment, the invasion of heterogeneous microorganisms is inevitable. The growth and reproduction of these microorganisms use the wort (very good medium) or the nutrients in beer, resulting in difficulties or abnormalities in subsequent production and precipitation of the finished beer. , turbidity, and even its metabolites cause beer flavor and taste variation. beer Sacch
What it takes to start a small craft brewery
What it takes to start a small craft brewery Since the introduction of craft beer into China from abroad, there has been a boom in craft beer in China, and it has risen rapidly at an incredible speed. More and more bosses have seen business opportunities and opened small craft breweries, but they are distressed in the early stage. Going through the formalities is really quite troublesome.
