8HL Micro Brite Beer Tank Introduction

Beer will be brewing in fermentation tanks for about one week.

After an initial or primary fermentation, beer is conditioned, matured or aged, in one of several ways,which can take from 2 to 4 weeks, several months, or several years, depending on the brewer's intention for the beer. The beer is usually transferred into a second container, so that it is no longer exposed to the dead yeast and other debris (also known as "trub") that have settled to the bottom of the primary fermenter. This prevents the formation of unwanted flavours and harmful compounds such as acetylaldehydes. During secondary fermentation, most of the remaining yeast will settle to the bottom of the second fermenter, yielding a less hazy product.

8HL micro Brite Beer Tanks are often also called serving tanks, tax determination tanks or clear beer tanks (=CBTs), 8HL micro Brite Beer Tanks (=BBTs) or maturation or conditioning tanks. These tanks are used for the storage of the beer prior to being served or packaged. Depending on their application the beer serving tanks can be glycol jacketed or can be located in a cold room.For brewpubs serving is often done by pumping or pressurizing the beer toward the serving location.
