Beer production adopts the natural fermentation method, and the equipment used mainly includes wort storage tanks, yeast fermentation tanks, wheat beer fermentation tanks and saccharification fermentation tanks.
1. The characteristic of primary distillation in the beer production process is to cultivate wort and yeast, and then filter to obtain wort;
The second stage of fermentation is to mix the wort with hops to ferment into wine; the third stage is to carry out secondary distillation to decompose the enzymatic hydrolysis products in the wort into carbon dioxide and other substances, and obtain wine after filtration. .
The first stage distillation is a continuous process;
Secondary fermentation is divided into two steps;
The third stage is bottom-up, that is, condensation begins when the distillation reaches the top of the tower (commonly known as the head pot), that is, the second distillation is draft beer.
In the beer production process, steam generators are generally divided into two types: ordinary steam generators and special steam generators, and the latter can be designed and manufactured according to needs.
2. The secondary fermentation is mainly to produce malt wine, and then obtain draft beer through secondary distillation;
The production of beer needs to complete the two-stage fermentation process continuously, which is also a test for the equipment. It is required that the equipment must have good high temperature resistance, good economy and applicability, and meet the requirements of the entire beer production process. Needed, it should be easy to handle and operate during use.
For example, the steam generator used by Tsingtao Brewery adopts a double-tube combination structure, so that the heat stars are concentrated in one tube to improve the heat transfer effect. Under the same conditions, the diameter of the steam pipeline can be reduced. steam pressure.
3. The third stage of evaporation is characterized by first brewing malt wine with brewer’s yeast, then obtaining draft beer in distiller’s grains, and finally performing secondary distillation to obtain wine.
The production process of draft beer (cooked beer) is mainly: pour the cooked beer into the second layer of fermentation tank, add hops to fully absorb the aroma of beer.
Beer steam generators are used in such production processes.
