Brewery fermentation tank 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: What utilities do I need for a brewery?

Typically water, electricity and drains are needed.
In general 2 and 3 phase electricity is needed and can be 110/220/380/400/415/440 at 50/60Hz.

The size of the water connection is determined by the size of the brewery but for most projects 

5.000 liter of water per hour with a pressure of 3 bar is sufficient.

For your steam boiler a natural gas connection or a tank with light oil will be needed.

Because of the temperature, steel pipe drains are preferred in a brewery and sufficient drains 

are always handy.

For brewery project we provide our customers with detailed requirement on the utilities and 

their respective location. 

Q: Do I need to be a brewer in order to start a brewery?

Yes. It is very helpful to have a brew master who is experienced in brewing. TBE can also train 

you or one of your employees to learn how to brew. We will teach you all aspects of brewing, 

familiarize you with your brewery equipment, help you with recipes, quality control etc. TBE offers 

a wide variety of services such as installation, training, after sales services etc.
