1000 L industrial beer fermenter are also called CCT’s (Cylindrical Conical Tanks), 

FV’s (Fermentation Vessel), primary fermentor or unitanks as they are used both for fermenting 

and lagering.Fermenting is the process during which the yeast transforms the wort into beer. 

Lagerings takes place after fermenting and is the time given to the beer to stabilize and age 

after fermenting.

TBE stainless steel fermenters can be individually temperature controlled through glycol jackets 

and are mostly equipped with accessories such as overpressure and under pressure valve, CIP 

cleaning jet, sanitary sample valve, manhole,etc. The design of TBE fermenters is based on 

our vast beer knowledge and especially the conical fermenter bottom and the fact that we 

combine fermentation and maturation in the same vessel is very important. When calculating 

your fermenting and lagering capacity and configuration sufficient time for fermenting and 

lagering to produce quality beers must be taken into consideration.

Q: Can you help me with my entire brewery project or are there aspects you do not cover?

Our mission is to assist our clients with their brewing needs from start to finish and build a 

long-term relationship with them. We can help you with all aspects of your brewing need or work 

with one of our partners to accommodate your needs. 

Q: Can I brew all types of beer on the TBE equipment?

Contrary to the open-vessel fermentation system mainly used in Eastern Europe and Germany, 

all beer styles can be brewed with our system. This means that a wide variety of ales and lagers 

can be made. Given the infectious style of Lambics, we do not recommend brewing or packaging 

these beers on shared equipment. 

Q: What elements determine the cost of the brewery the most?

There are 4 aspects that determine the cost of a brewery: batch size, yearly capacity, finishes and 

automation.
