What are the common types of beer brewhouse equipment?

¿Cuáles son los tipos más comunes de equipamiento para fábricas de cerveza?

/ Deja un comentario
The growing popularity of craft beer and microbreweries in recent years has led to a surge in demand for high-quality commercial beer brewing systems. These systems are critical to the beer industry, enabling brewers to and produce large volumes of beer. A beer brewing system consists of many components including mash tuns, boilers, fermenters, and bottling/canning equipment. These systems vary in size and complexity, with some designed for small-scale production and others capable of producing thousands of gallons of beer per day.

Infusion brewhouse system

The infusion brewhouse system is the simplest and most used type of brewhouse equipment. They relate to the vessel of the mash tun in which the mashing process takes place. The working principle of the soaking mash system involves adding hot water to the malted grain to achieve a specific temperature range for enzyme activity and starch conversion. Temperature is maintained by direct heating methods such as steam jackets or electrical components, or by incorporating a separate heating vessel.

The advantages of a single infusion are many. Using modern malts, almost every beer style in the world can be replicated with a single infusion mash. With software and a little practice, the infusion temperature for any target temperature can be calculated.

RIMS (Circulating Infusion brewhouse System)

A RIMS or recirculating immersion brewing system uses a combination of mash tuns, heating elements, and a recirculation pump. The working principle of the RIMS involves the continuous recirculation of the mash through a heat exchanger where the temperature is controlled. Recirculation ensures uniform heating and enzyme activity for efficient starch conversion. This method allows brewers to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the mashing process.

HERMS (Heat Exchange Recirculation brewhouse System)

HERMS (Heat Exchange Recirculating Mash System) also employs mash tuns, heating elements, and heat exchangers. But, unlike RIMS, HERMS works by transferring the mash to a separate vessel (called a hydrothermal tank) where the heat exchanger is located. The hot liquid tank contains hot water which is circulated through a heat exchanger to maintain the desired mash temperature. This indirect heating method minimizes the risk of grain scorching and allows precise temperature control.

automatic brewing system

The automated system saves a lot of labor in the brewing process. There are many options on the market with varying degrees of automation. A automatic system will do it all for you. You press a few buttons. The less automated the system is, the more you have to do it yourself. This could be adding grain, adding hops, filling the beer into fermenters, or packaging it in kegs or bottles.

Common Types of Commercial Beer Brewing Systems

  1. Brewpub system: The brewpub system is designed for small-scale production and is usually used by small breweries and brewpubs. These systems have a capacity of 3-10 barrels and are designed to be compact and efficient.
  2. Craft brewery systems: Craft brewery systems are designed for large-scale production, with capacities of up to 100 barrels or more. These systems are often bespoke and can be tailored to the specific needs of the brewery.
  3. Production Brewery Systems: Production brewery systems are designed for the largest scale productions, with capacities of hundreds of barrels or more. These systems are often automated and must significant investment in equipment and infrastructure.

in conclusion

There are many types of beer brewing equipment, each with its unique working principle. Brewing mashing systems are simple and used, while decoction mashing systems rely on gradual temperature control. RIMS and HERMS systems use recirculation and heat exchange mechanisms to achieve precise temperature control. Also, the automated brewing system integrates advanced technology to simplify the mashing process. Understanding these different types of brewing equipment and how they work allows brewers to choose the method that best suits their brewing needs, resulting in consistent, high-quality beer production.
