500L cone 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: Where do I get my ingredients and packaging materials from?

Almostly every country or area can find a supplier for malt, hops, yeast etc. TBE company 

can also help to get good quality raw materials here. For ingredients that would be hard to 

find locally we can make arrangements to have them shipped to you. 

Q: What about recipes?

Based on your wishes and/or the local market we will provide you with recipes, brewing instructions 

and yeast strains for the beer(s) you plan on brewing. During training we usually brew these beers 

with your future brewmaster. 

Q: How long does it take to deliver a brewery?

Typically it takes about 1-3 months to manufacture a brewery. Depending on the size of the brewery, 

the amount of custom designed equipment, our general workload and the way of shipping this period 

can be shorter or longer.
