Hop pressure tank for brewery

A hop pressure tank, also known as a hop doser or hop addition vessel, is a device used in the brewing process, particularly in craft breweries. It is primarily used for dry hopping, which is the process of adding hops to beer after the wort has been fermented.

The hop pressure tank is a sealed vessel that allows brewers to introduce hops into the beer without exposing it to oxygen. This is important because oxygen can negatively impact the flavor and stability of the beer. The tank is pressurized, usually with carbon dioxide (CO2), to prevent oxygen from entering and to ensure a controlled environment.

Brewers typically load the hop pressure tank with hops, either in pellet or whole cone form, and then connect it to the fermentation vessel or the beer conditioning tank. The pressurized tank allows the brewer to introduce the hops into the beer by opening a valve or using a dosing mechanism. The hops infuse their flavors and aromas into the beer during a specific period of contact time, enhancing its hop character.

Hop pressure tanks are often used in combination with other equipment like centrifuge or filters to remove the hop solids before packaging the beer. They provide brewers with more control over the dry hopping process, allowing for consistent and repeatable results.
