Fermentors and tanks intended to the secondary fermentation of beer
We produce and offer several types of the fermentors intended to the secondary beer fermentation. Cylindrical beer maturation tanks are designed to the production of the Czech traditional lager beers. Universal cylindrically-conical fermenation tanks are the modern beer fermentation technology. We offer also simplified cylindrical or conical fermentors with low price, pressure stainless steel barrels, pressure plastic fermentors and barrels made of polyethylene and some other types of the fermentation vessels as well.
Our offer for the fermentors for the secondary beer fermentation
Fermentors only for the secondary fermentation – pressure vessels intended only to the maturation of beer :
- MBTVI : Cylindrical beer maturation tanks, vertical, insulated – Cylindrical fermentors for the secondary fermentation (maturation, carbonation) of beer, with vertical orientation, with the PUR insulation, cooled by water or glycol.
- MBTVN : Cylindrical beer maturation tanks, vertical, non-insulated – Cylindrical fermentors for the secondary fermentation (maturation, carbonation) of beer, with vertical orientation, without the insulation, cooled by air.
- MBTHI : Cylindrical beer maturation tanks, horizontal, insulated – Cylindrical fermentors for the secondary fermentation (maturation, carbonation) of beer, with horizontal orientation, with the PUR insulation, cooled by water or glycol.
- MBTHN : Cylindrical beer maturation tanks, horizontal, non-insulated – Cylindrical fermentors for the secondary fermentation (maturation, carbonation) of beer, with horizontal orientation, without the insulation, cooled by air.
- PFK : Pressure beer fermentation kegs – Simple small pressure vessels for the secondary fermentation small volumes of beer under pressure.
Universal tanks for both primary and secondary fermentation of beer in the same vessel without the pumping beverage between two tanks :
- CCT : Cylindrically-conical beer fermentation tanks – universal pressurizable tank intended for both primary and secondary fermentation of beer in the same vessel without the pumping beverage between two tanks. Available for all kinds of fermenting beverages. Conical bottom allows easy separation of yeast from beverage to later use.
- FUIC : Compact beer fermentation units – the compact devides that include all what is needed for both the primary and secondary fermentation of beer. One, two, three or four cylindrically-conical fermentors, cooling unit, temperature control system, frame.
- CFS : Complete beer fermentation sets – Fully equipped sets for the fermentation and maturation of beer equipped with classical cylindrical-conical tanks and all equipment that is needed for controlled cooling of the tanks with fermenting beverage.
What is the secondary fermentation ?
The wort brewing process, which is the first phase of the beer production, is followed by a second phase, called the beer fermentation process. Fermentation of wort is a manifestation of metabolism of brewer´s yeast. Yeast is added to wort after the oxidation of the wort immediately after it is cooled to the fermentation temperature and pumped from the brewhouse wort machine to the fermentation vessels.
Entire beer fermentation process includes two phases : The primary beer fermentation and the secondary beer fermentation.
Secondary beer fermentation :
After the primary fermentation so-called young or green beer is pumped into another container, wherein continuing secondary beer fermentation process has a lower intensity, but at a lower temperature and higher pressure, while the beer is saturated with carbon dioxide. This part of the fermentation process is called maturation of beer, also known as the lagering process of beer.
