You know the heating plays an important role in beer brewing. There are three heating methods you can choose, including electric heating elements, steam jacket heating and direct fire heating. You will enjoy different experience of beer brewing by different heating methods.
If you plan to enter the craft beer market, but do not know which heating methods is more suitable for your brewery. So please keep watching.
Firstly, if you have enough budget and there is no limitation for using steam boiled in your country, I highly recommend steam jacket heating system for your brewery, as it is most efficient and convenient heating methods during beer brewing compared with electric heating and direct fire heating. In a complete steam heating system, there are steam boiler, steam Inlet pipes and valves, steam trap pipes and valves, safety port, steam main support pipe, steam distributing cylinder, condensed water pipes, etc. Different capacity, different configuration of steam heating system. If you have a 200L brewery equipment, the condensed water pipe system and distributing cylinder may be unnecessary for your brewery. And the steam heating device is called steam jacket, which will be welded on side wall and bottom cone on mash tun, kettle tun and hot water tank.
Secondly, the electric heating methods is more suitable for 100L-300L home brew system. Compared with steam jacket heating, the electric one is economic and safe. But, If you want to add a grain rake In a mash/lauter tun, the electric heating element will not be use in this vessel, means that you should adjust your craft of beer brewing.

Finally, direct fire heating system is a popular choice for family breweries and small breweries. Its heating is to install a power gas burner outside the kettle, and the burner projects the forced air flame onto the baffle or diffuser in the fully enclosed fire box below the kettle. This design significantly reduces the risk of coke burning, while also providing good temperature control and steam heating and other heating rates. Its heating efficiency is usually only 25%~50%, which greatly increases the cost.
Different customers have different requirements, and the brewing system is unique for everyone. Tiantai beer equipment company will customize the brewing equipment according to the requirements of the brewers, and adopt appropriate heating methods to achieve the best effect.
