Brewhouse - challenges and solutions
Wort preparation
Slow wort production, high energy usage, ingredient loss, high water consumption and spoilage are some of the issues in wort production and fermentation. Ordinary issues for which we have extraordinary solutions to raise brewhouse performance.
Challenge
- Oxidation during mashing and risk of staling
Solution
Outcome
- Increase in yield by pushing out all beer lines with deaerated water
- Improved beer flavour stability and shelf life
Whirlpool
Separation of trub, pelletized or whole hops from your wort
Challenge
- Loss of wort and considerable beer waste
- High carry-over of solids to wort cooler may cause fouling
- Potential high disposal cost of waste trub
Outcome
- Recover 99% of wort otherwise lost as trub, yielding more beer
- Reduced whirlpool time and less energy and water consumption
- Higher hop utilization from counter-current flushing of solids
- Reduced disposal and reduced fouling/clogging in wort cooler
- Convert trub into valuable by-product
Wort cooling
Cool your wort after boiling
Challenge
- High energy cost
Solution
Outcome
- Energy reduction of up to 40% by reuse of energy from wort boiling to heat subsequent brews
