Cellar and Support Equipment
Fermentation Tanks
- Available in 5 BBL / 5 HL to 800 BBL / 1000 HL, customized to the diameter and height of your location – we can vertically stack smaller tanks to save floor space.
- Fermenters are built with dimple plate cooling jackets placed on the cone and 2 or more on the straight side, 60 or 70 degree cone angles, and adjustable footpads.
- Fermenters include spunding valves for natural carbonation, dry hop ports, pressure relief valves, vacuum breakers, complete CIP assemblies, manways, butterfly valves, side rotating racking arms, standpipes and pressure gauges.
- We build fermenters for use outdoors, utilizing thicker insulation and safety features to ensure your highest quality product.
- We also build open top fermenters for traditional brewery fermentation. Our Koelschip fermenters and Yorkshire Round fermenters offer brewery customers the ability to produce innovative beers unique to their location.
Bright Beer and Lagering Tanks
- Our bright (brite) tanks and lagering tanks range in size from 5 BBL / 5 HL to 800 BBL / 1000 HL and can be customized to the diameter and height for your location.
- We build our bright tanks in both vertical or horizontal orientation and can stack tanks both vertically and horizontally, to best fit into your space.
- We are ASME certified, meaning we can build tanks to operate at high pressure (over 1 BAR / 15 PSI), giving you more options for your carbonation and nitrogenation processes.
- We build bright tanks for use outdoors, utilizing thicker insulation and safety features to ensure a quality product.
- If you would prefer to put your bright tanks or lagering tanks in a cold room, we can build them as a single-walled tank.
- Our bright tanks and lagering tanks include manways, recirculation plumbing for flavour infusions or mixing, carbonation assemblies, pressure relief valves, vacuum breakers, pressure gauges, butterfly valves, complete CIP assemblies, standpipes, dimple plated cooling jackets on the bottom and 2 or more on the straight side, level gauge assemblies, and adjustable foot pads.
Yeast Management Equipment
We build yeast propagators and storage brinks to allow you to capture and reuse yeast. We also have a Yeast Propagation Skid featuring a propagator and wort sterilization tank.
- Yeast Propagators are sized according to your fermenters to ensure you have the capacity for your desired pitching volume. The propagators can have heating and cooling jackets, agitators, aeration inlets, CIP, pressure relief, and Spunding valves to control propagation.
- Wort Sterilization tanks are available to ensure your wort is clean for building your yeast cell count. Wort is dosed into your propagator.
- Yeast Brinks are sized based on your fermenters and can be portable or stationary. They can be built with cooling jackets or simply single walled for storage in a cold room. Brinks can include CIP, and all typical tank features – inlet, outlet, thermowells, etc.
Clean-In-Place (CIP) Systems
We offer both manual and semi-automated CIP systems and can make a recommendation to you based on your budget and operational needs.
- CIP-1V Cart – A manual, portable single reservoir cart, designed for start-up breweries and distilleries. The unit features an electric heating element and utilizes your portable pump cart to create a recirculation loop.
- CIP-2V Cart – A manual, portable dual reservoir cart, designed for small to mid-size breweries and distilleries. Features include electric heating elements in one reservoir, interconnecting plumbing, pump w/VFD and control panel for temperature and pump control.
- CIP Skid – A modular and expandable CIP system, designed for production breweries and distilleries. The skid system can be operated either manually or using our semi-automation. The skid can feature 1 to 4 vessels and includes interconnecting plumbing, pneumatically actuated valves, in-line heat exchanger, dosing pumps, flow meters, conductivity sensors, distribution and return lines, and PLC with HMI touchscreen control panel.
Dry Hopping Equipment
Save time, stay safe, and optimize flavour with our dry hopping systems
Equipment options include:
Hop Torpedo
A portable, pressurized vessel with a false bottom and pump to allow for dry hopping via wort recirculation. The vessel is mounted on a frame with a hinge, for easy removal of hops and cleaning. The Hop Torpedo is useful for 5 BBL to 20 BBL fermenters
Hop Jet
A portable induction system featuring a hopper, CO2 purge, blending pump, and recirculation plumbing. The beer and hops come together without any risk of oxygenation and ensure a highly efficient hop utilization.
Hop Cone
A pressurized vessel with a removable perforated standpipe, top-mounted mixer and pump to allow for dry hopping via wort recirculation. The perforated standpipe is on a tri-clamp fitting and is easily removed for cleaning. The Hop Cone can be either portable on a cart or stationary on legs.
Hop Cannon
The Hop Cannon offers a direct injection of hop pellets into the fermenter by using a dry hopping arm that connects onto the hop port of your fermenter. The Cannon includes a CO2 buffer tank, hopper and compressor. The hops feed from the hopper into a CO2 purged chamber, and are then blasted using CO2 up the arm and into the fermenter. The automation stores your recipes, ensuring consistency from operator to operator.
