Brewery floor requirements

图片
Running a brewery can be a daunting task. Not only do you need to monitor a dozen different things at once, but you must also make sure your brewery is stable for the long haul. A brewery is a unique combination of many different things that can affect a brewery, especially brewery flooring. In most industries, flooring and floor coatings are arbitrary, if not purely aesthetic considerations, but brewery floors are not. As with all food and beverage related industries, breweries have a plethora of laws and regulations to deal with in order to successfully stay on the market. Many of these regulations are directly related to the cleanliness of their production facilities. In the past, breweries may have been reserved spaces for craft beer makers and brewers. However, breweries are now a major destination for beer lovers and vacationers to test new products. As the number of visitors increases, so does the responsibility for health and safety issues. Among these issues, flooring is a pri...

What is malolactic fermentation?

  What is malolactic fermentation? In very basic terms, malolactic fermentation (also known as MLF) is a process in which certain types of bacteria degrade the malic acid in wine into lactic acid and carbon dioxide gas. It is a very natural process that can occur spontaneously if the conditions are right - usually after yeast fermentation is complete.   It can last from a few weeks to three or four months, depending on. ✱ the amount of malic acid available in the wine ✱  the conditions under which the fermentation takes place ✱ The power of culture   On average, you can expect MLF to last 3 to 6 weeks if a domesticated culture is added to the wine.   This spontaneous form of fermentation is largely limited to unpasteurized juices, as opposed to sulfite treated or pasteurized juices. The difference is that malolactic acid bacteria are not present in sterilized juice to multiply.   There are thousands of different strains of lactobacillus malicus. Some of the...

How to chill wort without wasting water?

图片
As an avid brewer and very environmentally conscious person, the amount of water needed to "chill" an average sized batch of beer is heartbreaking. My first attempt at using an immersion chiller was terrible. Not only was the wort chiller undersized and underlength, but it leaked badly, causing more water to be wasted. When starting it up, I was unaware that it was only cooling a small portion of the wort, causing more water to run down the drain. The main way to reduce water waste when cooling wort is by reusing or using used water and reducing total consumption. When using a wort chiller, increasing surface contact and efficiency is key to cooling the water source as much as possible. Cooling the wort overnight is another viable option. I researched every scenario I could think of and tried various ways that I could save water while  brewing great beer . Just to do my best for the planet and the brewing community, I have listed all the results in this article.   1. Conventi...

Will conical fermenters make you drink better beer?

图片
  In this article, we focus on the advantages and disadvantages of conical fermenters in commercial brewing to help you determine if a conical fermenter is worth buying.   Conditions that need to be met for a fermenter There are three conditions that need to be met when choosing a fermentation vessel. 1. It removes sediment and dead yeast from the bottom of the tank and allows for complete drainage of the beer for bottling or conditioning. This is the greatest use of a conical fermenter. 2. You also need to make sure that the yeast is not disturbed during the beer fermentation process. Yeast are very temperamental. They like to work alone and do not want to be disturbed by microorganisms. 3. Stable, low temperatures. The average fermentation temperature range for beer is 64 to 72°F (18 to 22°C), while lagers require lower temperatures, from 45 to 55°F (7 to 13°C).   Conical fermenters Most professional brewers no longer use open top and flat bottom fermenters, but instead...
