Capacities and CCC for brewing. Capacity and CCC for brewing CCC Decryption beer

In the older times, when the beer was cooked alive and wondered in barrels, people did not think that they would come to the use of CCT. Cylinder-conical tank, or abbreviated CCC, is used to ferment in it SUSL and has several advantages over the use of any other capacity. I suggest you understand what these advantages are to conclus.

More recently, the use of cylindro-conical tanks in everyday life was impossible, and homeberry brewers were driving beer, which turned out. Someone used banks, someone buckets, and other used oak barrels. Now, in stores there is a fairly good selection of CCC for household use in home brewing. Of course, the principal design does not allow manufacturers to produce various modifications, and it is not necessary. I have seen at least 4 different CCCs from 4 different manufacturers, they differed in shape and color, as well as in the way of installation, and of course in terms of volume, but the principle of all is one. Of course, the appearance of conical fermenters on the market is not reduced to 0 use of other dishes to ferments to ferment, however, the ease of operation of the conical fermenter gradually displaces the bottles and buckets from the arsenal of a home brewer.

The principle of action of conical fermenters.

The industry uses huge stainless steel tanks, a few tons volume. They are a cylindrical vessel with a conical bottom. At the very bottom of the bottom there is a drain crane through which the sediment is removed from the fermenter. Above this crane, there is another crane, smaller. It serves to select samples, for measuring, tastings and different types of control research. In industrial conical tanks there are many more different aggregates and devices. They serve to maintain fermentation temperature, process control and other purposes. In the home brewing, the use of such complex devices is simply unnecessarily, and the additional equipment would take a lot of space, according to this, the conical fermenter for homemade brewing consists of the vessel itself, in which fermentation, drain crane, and hydraulic water.

In domestic Cctis, as well as in industrial, there may be an additional crane, it also serves as sampling or for removal from the sediment.

Varieties of conical fermenters.

For domestic use there is not so many fermenters. Small volume really limits the choice, yes, perhaps, this choice is not particularly needed. I allocated for myself two main types of household CCTS for home brewing:

• With the ability to remove the sediment
• With the ability to remove beer with sediment

In the first case, the fermenter is equipped with a special container or drain crane at the bottom of the cone. This design allows you to drain the precipitate, leaving beer in the container without overflow. It is very convenient, because Reduces the risk during overflow, as well as allows you to separate the yeast precipitate and use yeast again.

The second type of fermenters has a drain tap above the yeast level. The faucet is located on the side surface of the cylinder and allows you to drain the beer without disturbing the precipitate. Such a design also has its advantages: you can merge beer on, and the sediment simply remains in the fermenter.

Advantages of conical fermenters.

The advantages of using the CCC in the industrial production of beer are indisputable, however, we are homemade to you, and what is there, in the industry it is little worried. It is much more interesting to consider the benefits of using conical fermenters in everyday life.

As already mentioned, the use of CCC for home brewing has one biggest advantage: it allows you to drain the sediment, without overflowing the beer itself. At the same time, the precipitate can merge at any stratification. Another remarkable property that CCC possess is the possibility of removing the sediment and the use of yeast of subsequent regeneration. The reuse of yeast allows you to significantly save money.

The third distinguishing feature of CCC is the possibility of bottling beer without using a siphon. Beer merges under the action of gravity, which greatly simplifies the process.

Later, we will talk about how you can make CCTS with your own hands, and now I propose to consider the process of using a conical fermenter at home.

The use of CCC for home brewing.

Conical fermenters are fairly easy to use. You will simply pour deesorism for a while, then merge it through the cranes. After completion of disinfection, the cranes overlap, and the wort is poured into the fermenter, as well as in any other vessel. A sealed lid and hydraulication is installed.

After completing the main fermentation, you drag the yeast sediment using the appropriate crane. Some fermenters are arranged so that the precipitate is delayed on the walls of the cone. In this case, it is recommended to break the beer slightly and give it re-standing, after which it is recommended to repeat the process of removing yeast.

After the main precipitate is removed, the beer is left in the fermenter for secondary fermentation. After that, bottled.

Bottle bottling can be made both through the side crane, and through the drain, however, when using a drain crane, it is recommended to re-remove the precipitate before bottling.

The use of conical fermenters in domestic brewing is convenient and practical.

We offer Cactic tanks for storing and fermentation of beer, including under pressure. Capacities can be in different configuration and, accordingly, the difference in pricing policy. Many people think that in the cost of the capacity, this is its main volume - the greater the more expensive. In fact, this is not the case, 50% of the CCT value is its equipment, cranes, thermal insulation, cooling shirts, hatches, measuring rules, etc. In this regard, when choosing a capacity, you need to understand what you need, and without which you can do. In principle, all the options that offer manufacturers are needed and ensure the convenience of working with a capacity, but thereby increasing the price. Against this, we thought simply necessary to offer a client several options for tanks in different price categories, but this is no case that does not mean that in a cheaper capacity you will have bad beer, just everything will be in charge and comfort from use.

Simple Cactic Cack for Beer

The simplest tanks of the CCT for beer volume from 60 and higher in the easiest configuration without cooling shirts, but designed for pressure up to 2 bar. Suitable for installation in a refrigeration chamber in which you can maintain the temperature. In stock In stock in Moscow, we usually keep such containers from 60 to 1100 liters, but large volumes of CCTS can be made under the order. This container is equipped with two ball valves 3/4, one in the lower part of the cone, the second on the cylindrical part. Little withstanding pressure up to 2 bar. Valves are installed in the upper part of the container or hatch, allowing to roam in the tank at atmospheric pressure, and to get to 2 bar at a pressure. Some containers of large volume have a washing head. The thickness of the metal in containers is different as the volume of the tank increases, and allows you to keep the declared pressure. All tanks are cleaned with a greater pressure than claimed, but the declared pressure is a worker.

CCC for beer with cooling shirts

Standard CCC for beer with cooling shirts. Also come from 60 liters and above, but there are a number of changes in the configuration. The first difference is the thickness of the metal - even the smallest containers begin with a thickness of 1.5mm. This is necessary for welding a shirt in the process of production of tank. To metal with a thickness of less than 1.5mm it is quite difficult to quickly welcome the shirt. The second difference is, of course, two cooling shirts on a cone and cylinder providing the temperature you need in the container. And the capsule for installing the thermoplands leaving the inside of the tank is up to 30 cm, which allows control and temperature control in the tank through automation. This type of CCC is the perfect solution for minipping, it has everything you need for the production of high-quality beer. In stock In stock in Moscow, there are containers from 60 to 1100 liters (more accurate information on availability can be viewed on this site in the online store section)

Professional beer tanks

The third option is a container under the order in any configuration. Usually we mean by this item. Professional capacity, with thermal insulation under pressure of 3 bar. It establishes full-fledged fittings: taps such as a butterfly or ball with a closer / ruling (quick-consumable) compounds, sampling cranes, a measuring line, a full-fledged spool of an Italian or German apparatus. And the most important thing they already go with the control of temperature control, including the control panel and the entire layout of the tank. You can install any fittings on the tank and play with sizes.

The capacitive fleet of any brewery is comparable according to the cost with all other technological equipment, including the cooking itself, and in the choice and also the number of tanks, the main thing is not to be mistaken. Our specialists will help to choose an optimal capacitive park, taking into account your needs and wishes.
