How To Improve The Brewhouse Utilization?
Improving the brewhouse utilization, just mean faster brewhouse turnover. Trying to reduce the usage time of each tank, such as the Brew Kettle, Lauter tun etc.
(1)Minimize the holding time of brew kettle
Generally speaking, the brew kettle is the one which usually holding longest time, it is nearly equal to the holding time of Lauter tun plus the wort boiling time, though the efficient working time not exceed 90-120min. So it is very important to well control the process conditions. Besides, one wort storage tank with preheating fuction can be added after mashing. When the kettle is busy boiling, it can be used for saving the wort of next batch, then the holding time of kettle can be shorten to 160-190min, and with nearly 7.5-9 turnover every day.
(2)Minimize the wort lautering time
Considering the wort lautering may be affected by many factors, the total time may reach 4-5h if the wort cannot be lautered smoothly. If the holdting time of the lauter tun not exceed 180min, it can be turnovered 8 times per day. Besides, if with the help of wort filter, the lautering only need 120min which will greatly improving the feeding times every day.
(3)Faster the turnover of rice paste pot and mash tun
Improving the feeding termperature of auxiliary materials at about 65-70℃ , and using thermostable bacterial amylase instead of Malt liquefied materials. The mash can be heated directly by high temperature which will saves some time of heating.
Adopted one time decoction, fast mashing or infusion mashing, which may saves some time of temperature rise or boiling. Of course, the malt better with higher quality.
Properly reduced the dosage of auxiliary materials, or added some protease, glucanase etc to form lower resting temperature of protein. It will minimize the protein resting time and total mashing time.
Then, it is possible for the mash tun turnover 8-9 times per day.
