Description

The brewhouse includes the following equipment:

Mash brewer for mashing malt with water, saccharification of mash, as well as for boiling wort.
Filtration apparatus for separating beer wort from the grains and to wash out the remains of soluble substances from the grains.
Boiler for heating and storing water used to wash the pellets.
Hydrocyclone (whirlpool) for clarification of wort by the vortex method.
Heat exchanger for cooling the clarified wort before it is fed into the fermentation tank.

Productivity of finished wort per brew, l	200	300	500
Mast of malt (bulk), kg*	40	60	100
Amount of water for mashing (main filling), l*	160	240	400
Amount of water for washing grains (additional filling), l*	110	160	270
Heating power, kW	25	35	50

* Approximate amount for 12% wort

Process

Mashing occurs in the mash-wort apparatus, i.e. malt is mixed with water, the mixture is heated and kept at certain temperatures. During the temperature pauses, the components of the malt interact with each other. Enzymes break down starch and dextrin molecules into water-soluble sugars needed for fermentation. At the end of saccharification, the mash is pumped into the filtration apparatus, where the wort is separated from the grains and the remaining sugars are washed out of the grains with water prepared in the boiler. All liquid is returned to the wort brewer and subjected to boiling, during which hops are added to the product.

The hopped wort is fed into the hydrocyclone by a centrifugal pump through a tangentially located branch pipe, which directs the flow of liquid tangentially to the wall of the apparatus. In this way, the wort is set in rotation, the flakes of bruch are collected in the center of the apparatus, and the clarified wort is taken out through the side pipe. Then it is cooled in a plate heat exchanger to the temperature required for fermentation and sent to the fermentation compartment.
