What conditions need to be met when choosing a fermentation vessel?
- Stable, cold temperature. The average fermentation temperature of beer ranges from 64 to 72°F (18 to 22°C), while lager beer requires a lower temperature, from 45 to 55°F (7 to 13°C).
- You also need to ensure that the yeast is not disturbed in the fermentation of beer. Yeasts are very moody. They like to be alone at work and don’t want to be disturbed by microorganisms.
- It can remove sediment and dead yeast from the bottom of the tank and can drain the beer intact for bottling or adjustment. This is the biggest use of the conical fermenter.
What is a conical fermenter?
The temperature control in the conical fermenter can be achieved by a coil inside the fermentor or a jacket around the outside. If the fermentation tank needs to be cooled, it will be realized by circulating cold water or ethylene glycol in the jacket. We recommend using a conical fermenter with a jacket on the outside because it is more convenient to use and easy to clean and disinfect.
Advantages of the conical fermentation tank
- Professional winemakers can control the fermentation process. The stainless steel conical fermentation tank can be installed with many accessories and provide many functions, which is convenient for the winemaker to control the fermentation process. You can add aeration/carbonization, pressure gauge, rotary valve, sampling valve, and other accessories, which provides you with huge control rights and a large number of interchangeable components.
- Yeast can be easily removed, and beer can be conditioned and clarified in a container without worrying about the autolysis of yeast. In large breweries, the bright tank is usually adjusted and the fermenter is released for a new fermentation process.
- Yeast can be easily cut and collected for reuse. The conical fermentation tank makes harvesting yeast as easy as turning a valve. The collected yeast is healthy and vigorous, and these yeasts can be easily separated, cleaned, and stored.
- Adding unitank to the conical fermenter will allow you to ferment under pressure and naturally add carbonation to the beer. Pressure fermentation allows you to ferment at a warmer ambient temperature while inhibiting the formation of esters. This is beneficial for those who do not have a glycol system or a large enough refrigerator. Pressure fermentation also allows you to produce beer in the temperature range of malt liquor.
- The top faucet allows samples to be collected without any yeast, so it is easier to monitor beer gravity.
- Dry hop crumbs can be removed through the cone, making it easier to manage multiple dry hop additives.
- Beer can be removed by pressure or gravity at the top tap, without siphoning equipment.
Disadvantages of the conical fermenter
- Conical fermentation tanks are expensive. Under normal circumstances, the price of stainless steel conical fermentation tanks is higher than that of ordinary fermentation tanks. However, it will provide you with value-for-money benefits.
- Conical fermentation tanks have more components that need to be cleaned and disinfected, so their cleaning process is very complicated. But to be honest, this is not as complicated as it seems at first glance, brewing is always accompanied by extensive cleaning and disinfection. Fortunately, the clean-in-place (CIP) system makes cleaning easier.
- Because the size of the conical fermenter is generally large, most conical fermenters require a very large fermentation chamber or glycol system to maintain the fermentation temperature. This is another very expensive part when starting a brewery. Because cooling solutions may agree to be expensive. But the good news is that most glycol cooling devices can be used to cool multiple fermenters.
