Some helpful tips before you get started a microbrewery

So you want to set up a micro brewery? What equipment do you need for brewing? There are still a few things that are helpful to know before you get started a microbrewery.

1. Never neglect your brewery equipment sanitation
This is probably the single most important part of your brewing procedure. Cleaning and sanitation should never be rushed or overlooked. Brewing beer in a dirty fermenter can lead to an infection that will have you wanting to pour your brew down the drain. Dirty bottles can take a delicious brew and turn it sour and undrinkable.

2. Move quickly once your wort is off the heat
Heat over 80 C degree, causes your hops to continue to bitter within your wort so, for this reason, it’s important to get the wort transferred to the cold water inside the keg as soon as possible once you have completed the wort making process. This helps lock in the correct amount of bitterness and preserve the integrity of your flavors. For micro brewery, heat exchanger with high cooling efficiency is crucial.

3. Try brewing a stout or a porter if you are not having luck with lighter styles. This is a pretty “old” piece of brewing advice, but it’s a good one, nonetheless. When it comes to brewing, the devil is almost always in the details. For that reason, darker beers can leave a bit more “margin for error” when it comes to being a newbie.

4. Use high quality, fresh ingredients
This may go without saying, but just like any other thing, the quality of the ingredients you are using, matters. Always do your best to use “in-date” extracts, grain, and hops. A good thing to remember about grocery items like juices and purees is that if you do not enjoy it outside your beer, you probably will not like it in your beer either.

5. Check your fermenter with water before starting your brew
If you are just starting out in your brewing hobby, with a new Tiantai beer fermenter unitank, make sure you test it for leaks with water first.

6. Think about the future, and make sure you are available to bottle when your beer will potentially be finished.
It has happened before, and it will likely happen again, you start your brew and then remember you will be out of town, making you a week late to bottle…. Hey stuff happens, but it’s always a good idea to check out your calendar before getting started.
