YME offers One-Stop brewing solutions from designing to processing: brewery layout, water supply and drainage systems, wort heating pipeline layout, brewery energy consumption plans, 100L microbrewery to 100 BBL commercial-scale breweries.

Beer brewing equipment encompasses a variety of tools and machinery used in the process of brewing beer, from the initial stages of mashing the grains to the final bottling or kegging of the finished product.

1. Malt Mill

Purpose: Crushes the malted barley or other grains to prepare them for mashing.

Types: Roller mills and hammer mills.

2. Mash Tun

Purpose: Where the crushed grains are mixed with hot water to convert starches to sugars.

Features: Insulated vessel with a false bottom or manifold for separating the liquid wort from the grain husks.

3. Lauter Tun

Purpose: Separates the wort from the spent grains after mashing.

Features: Similar to a mash tun but specifically designed for efficient separation.

4. Brew Kettle

Purpose: Boils the wort with hops to extract flavors, bitterness, and aromas.

Features: Made of stainless steel, equipped with a heating source (electric, gas, or steam).

5. Whirlpool

Purpose: Separates hop particles and other solids from the wort after boiling.

Functionality: Uses centrifugal force to settle solids in the center of the vessel.

6. Heat Exchanger

Purpose: Cools the hot wort quickly before fermentation.

Types: Plate heat exchangers and counterflow chillers.

7. Fermentation Tanks

Purpose: Vessels where yeast is added to the cooled wort to begin fermentation.

Types: Conical fermenters are common, allowing for easy removal of yeast and sediment.

8. Bright Beer Tank

Purpose: Holds the beer after fermentation for conditioning, clarification, and carbonation.

Features: Often used to add additional flavors or adjust carbonation levels.

9. CIP System (Clean-In-Place)

Purpose: Automated system for cleaning and sanitizing brewing equipment.

Components: Includes pumps, spray balls, and various cleaning agents.

10. Packaging Equipment

Purpose: For bottling, canning, or kegging the finished beer.

Types: Bottle fillers, can seamers, keg washers, and fillers.

11. Additional Equipment

Grain Handling Systems: For storing and conveying grains to the mill.

Hopping Equipment: Dry hopping systems for adding hops post-fermentation.

Water Treatment Systems: Ensures water quality is suitable for brewing.

Yeast Management Systems: For propagating and storing yeast.

Key Considerations

Material: Most brewing equipment is made from stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning.

Scalability: Systems can range from small homebrew setups to large industrial systems capable of producing thousands of barrels.

Automation: Many modern systems incorporate automation for precision and efficiency.
