2000L 20HL single wall jacketed beer fermenter for microbreweries

A Single Wall Conical Fermenter is a type of fermentation vessel used in the beer brewing process. It is designed to ferment beer and other fermented beverages, providing brewers with an efficient and controlled environment for the fermentation stage.

Key features of a Single Wall Conical Fermenter:

Conical Shape: The fermenter has a conical shape, meaning it tapers down to a point at the bottom. This design allows for the collection of sediment and yeast at the bottom, making it easier to separate the clear beer from the trub and spent yeast during the fermentation process.

Single Wall: Unlike some other fermenters, which have an additional layer of insulation or cooling jacket, a Single Wall Conical Fermenter has only one layer of stainless steel. This makes it more affordable and suitable for situations where precise temperature control is not essential.

Stainless Steel Construction: The fermenter is typically made of high-quality stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and easy to clean. Stainless steel is the preferred material for brewing equipment as it does not impart any off-flavors to the beer and is durable.

Airlock and Valve: The fermenter is equipped with an airlock or blow-off valve to release excess carbon dioxide during fermentation while preventing air from entering the fermenter and potentially contaminating the beer.

Sampling Port: It often includes a sampling port or valve that allows brewers to take samples of the beer during fermentation for monitoring purposes.

Temperature Control: While Single Wall Conical Fermenters do not come with a built-in cooling system, brewers can use external temperature control methods like fermentation chambers or cooling coils to maintain the desired fermentation temperature.

Single Wall Conical Fermenters are popular among homebrewers and small to medium-sized craft breweries. They offer advantages such as easy yeast harvesting, reduced risk of contamination, and simplified cleaning procedures compared to other fermentation vessels. However, it's important to note that they may not provide the same level of precise temperature control as some other more advanced fermenters with cooling jackets. As a result, they are often chosen by brewers who prioritize cost-effectiveness and are comfortable with alternative temperature control methods during fermentation.

Our factory use laser cutting and argon shielded welding during the single wall jacketed fermenter production, the internal of the tanks commonly do pickling and passivation, the surface accuracy ≤ 0.4 μ m；There are dimple cooling jackets around the fermenter body and bottom cone,the test pressure is 0.4MPa; The working pressure of the tank is 0.15 MPa, and the test pressure is 0.4 MPa; We do water pressure test to all of the fermenters and bright tanks,the test period is 48hours.The strictly test and inspection make sure the tanks inside,the dimple jackets and pipe ports has no leakage when the fermenters arrives in our clients' brewery.

The price of the 2000L 20HL single wall jacketed beer fermenters is various because of the different configuration of the fermenters.If you plant to add extra fermenters inside of your breweries,please contact with us and send us your requirements such as the quantity of the fermenters,the configuration of the tanks,your brewery space layout.Our sales engineer can give you a professional quote of the fermenters.Cheers!

FAQ

1. What is a 2000L (20HL) single wall jacketed beer fermenter?

A 2000L (20HL) single wall jacketed beer fermenter is a large-capacity fermentation vessel used in commercial breweries to ferment and condition beer. The term "2000L" refers to its capacity of 2000 liters, and "20HL" stands for 20 hectoliters, which is equivalent to 2000 liters.

2. What is the difference between single wall and jacketed fermenters?

A single wall fermenter has only one layer of stainless steel, while a jacketed fermenter has an additional outer layer with a space for temperature-controlling liquid (usually glycol). The jacketed design allows for precise temperature control during fermentation, whereas single wall fermenters typically require external temperature control methods.

3. What are the key features of a 2000L single wall jacketed beer fermenter?

The key features of a 2000L single wall jacketed beer fermenter may include:

• 2000L (20HL) capacity for larger batches of beer.

• Stainless steel construction for durability and hygiene.

• Conical shape to aid in sediment and yeast separation.

• Glycol jacket for temperature control during fermentation.

• Pressure relief valves for safety during fermentation.

• CIP (clean-in-place) system for easy cleaning.

4. How does the jacketed system work for temperature control?

The jacketed system uses a separate space between the inner and outer walls of the fermenter. Chilled glycol or another cooling medium is circulated through this space to control the temperature of the fermenting beer inside. By adjusting the flow of the cooling medium, brewers can precisely regulate the fermentation temperature.

5. Is the 2000L single wall jacketed beer fermenter suitable for large breweries only?

Yes, a 2000L fermenter is typically used in medium to large-sized commercial breweries. It is not common for smaller craft breweries or homebrewers to use fermenters of this size due to the large batch capacity.

6. What are the benefits of using a jacketed fermenter for larger batches?

Using a jacketed fermenter for larger batches offers several benefits:

Precise temperature control for consistent and high-quality beer.

Efficient cooling during fermentation, which helps maintain yeast health and reduces off-flavors.

Faster cooling and conditioning times due to the larger cooling surface area.

7. Can the jacketed fermenter be used for fermenting other beverages besides beer?

Yes, the jacketed fermenter can be used for fermenting various beverages, including ciders, meads, and some wine styles that benefit from temperature control during fermentation.

8. How do I clean the fermenter after use?

The fermenter should be cleaned and sanitized thoroughly after each use. Many jacketed fermenters come equipped with a CIP (clean-in-place) system, which simplifies the cleaning process. Brewers can circulate cleaning solutions through the fermenter using the CIP system, effectively removing any residue and ensuring sanitation.

9. Where can I source a 2000L single wall jacketed beer fermenter?

You can source a 2000L single wall jacketed beer fermenter from brewing equipment manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors specializing in commercial brewing equipment. It's important to research and choose a reputable supplier that provides quality equipment and after-sales support.

10. What safety measures should I consider when using a 2000L fermenter?

Ensure that all safety features, including pressure relief valves and safety interlocks, are functioning correctly. Follow proper operating procedures, monitor fermentation regularly, and have a trained team to handle and maintain the fermenter safely.
