Beer brewing facility can vary enormously in size, from the smallest microbrewery to the largest multinational brewing corporation. The diversity of processes is likewise diverse, being largely dependent on the type of beer and the degree of automation.
Despite the great difference in size, however, much of the brewing process remains essentially changeless, as it’s relatively simple biochemical processes.
- A microbrewery, or craft brewery, is typically owned independently and much smaller than the corporate breweries that produce most of the beer appearing in bars and retail shelves.
- A larger beer brewing facility may use a five-vessel brewhouse, in which each of these components is a separate vessel.
“Mash/lauter tank+boiling/whirlpool tank” is a normal configuration for beer brewing system below 2000L.The mash/lauter tank is for mashing the malt and other grains and extract the liquid wort. The boiling/whirlpool tank is for adding hops and other ingredients to the wort and boil the resulting mixture.
Brewhouse is a collective term for all the components a brewery will need for the initial brewing stage.Brewhouses are comprised of several key pieces of brewing equipment. The whole brewhouse has four function,which is mash,lauter,boiling,whirlpool. In the hand of the brewmaster, convert grain that has been milled through a specialty grain mill, into sweet liquid called “wort”.

Fermentation Tanks of beer brewing facility
Fermentation is the next step in the brewing process after the wort has been prepared.Fermentation tanks hold the wort while yeast converts to sugar in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. These tanks should have a cone-shape bottom, which facilities the process of recovering the yeast for later use.

Bright beer tank of beer brewing facility
A brite tank allows the beer to further clarify and carbonate before going into a bottle, can or keg for consumption. Some brewpubs also serve beer directly from a brite tank.Filter beer and pump into another tank (call it secondary fermentation or brite tank) after the fermentation process is largely complete.
