When planning to build your own brewery, you should consider many factors such as brewing techniques, brewery equipment configuration, beer machines, conical fermenters, conical fermenters, conical fermenters, fermenter beer, conical fermenters, brewery equipment cost and price, finding brewery
installation locations, brewery licensing and regulation. This article is dedicated to answering some common questions about the brewing process.
The total carbonation level of any type of beverage is determined by the amount of liquefied carbon dioxide. Each widget will provide you with a number that matches the chart on the right that provides the ideal amount of carbon dioxide liquefaction based on the different beer designs.
The ideal way to achieve fast and consistent carbonation is twofold: first, we want to ensure the correct amount in the head area, usually around 10-15%, and second, use carbonation rocks rather than alternative techniques. Just like wort with oxygen, there is a scientific study behind carbonation.
Selecting carbonated rocks
Carbonation stress calculation
The wetting stress is the PSI we need to create bubbles on the carbohydrate rock during wetting. the last PSI analysis was recorded on tape and the criteria from these two analyses were used to determine the wetting stress PSI.
The head stress of the items on the rock will certainly play a role in the stresses required for carbonatite. Let’s start with the assumption that every 28 inches of item will certainly include 1 psi of rock stress.
If you have two stress values and have chosen a preferred amount of CO2 for your final product, we can enter these values in the equations listed below and get the desired PSI results from your CO2 system.
Wetting Stress + Indentation Head Stress + Preferred Stability PSI = Carbonation Stress
Example.
A 20 BBL UK container with 18 BBL (10% headroom) is 68 inches perpendicular to the item, so 68 inches by 28 inches = 2.43 psi
We have a dark malt that has a preferred CO2 of 2.17 at 45°F, so we find its stability PSI = 11
Wet Stress (3.0) + Head Stress (2.43) + Balance PSI (11) = 16.43 PSI
You can combine or drop depending on your inclination, or choose a good happy median of 16.5.
If you have two stress values and have chosen the preferred amount of CO2 for your final product, we can enter these values in the equations listed below and get the desired PSI results from your CO2 system.
Example.
Carbonated rock wetting stress = 3.0 PSI
A 20 BBL Brite tank with 18 BBL (10% head area) which is 68 inches vertically from the item, so 68 inches by 28 inches = 2.43 psi
We have a dark malt liquor that requires 2.17 CO2 at 45°F, so we find an equilibrium PSI = 11
Wet stress (3.0) + head stress (2.43) + equilibrium PSI (11) = 16.43 PSI
You can combine or drop depending on your inclination, or choose a good happy median of 16.5.
The wetting stress is the PSI we need to create bubbles in the carbonated rock when wetting. for most rocks, this wetting stress is between 2-8 PSI. A final PSI analysis was recorded and the criteria from these two analyses were used to determine the wetting stress PSI.
The head stress of the items on the rock will certainly play a role in the stresses required for the carbonate rock. Let’s start with the assumption that every 28 inches of item will certainly include 1 psi of rock stress.
