Beer storage tanks (commonly referred to as bright tanks) provide essential equipment in any brewery for maturing and clarifying beer after its fermentation has taken place.
In addition, beer storage tanks facilitate carbonation for added fizziness and refreshing flavor!
There are different kinds of beer storage tanks on the market, each offering different features and benefits. Some of the more widely-used models of these tanks include:
Vertical Tanks
Vertical tanks are the classic form of beer storage tank. Conical with tall cylindrical bodies, vertical tanks are traditionally constructed using stainless steel materials for long term storage of large volumes of beer and are well suited to collecting sediment for easier cleanup processes.
Horizontal Tanks
Horizontal tanks feature cylindrical construction with flat bottoms that makes them the ideal way to store large volumes of beer, often used by larger breweries as more cost-efficient alternative than vertical ones. Their horizontal orientation may even offer advantages when dealing with certain styles which benefit from increased yeast contact area.
Key Features
- Pressure Relief Valve: Also positioned on the top, the pressure relief valve ensures the safety of the tank by releasing excess pressure and preventing any potential damage or accidents.
- Pressure Gauge: Equipped on the CIP (Clean-In-Place) arm, the pressure gauge provides a clear and accurate reading of the internal pressure within the tank, enabling you to monitor and control the fermentation process effectively.
- Spunding Valve: Installed on the CO2 flow off arm, the spunding valve allows you to regulate the pressure inside the tank during the carbonation process, ensuring the perfect level of carbonation for your beer.
- Sampling Valve: For quality control and monitoring, the sampling valve allows you to safely and easily draw a sample of the beer from the tank for tasting or analysis.
- Carbonation Stone & Fittings: Integrated into the tank, the carbonation stone and fittings ensure efficient carbonation of your beer, giving it the desired level of bubbles and texture.
- Rotary Racking Arm: Connected to the beer outlet, the rotary racking arm allows you to effortlessly transfer the beer from the tank to your kegs or packaging lines.
- Dimple Cooling Jacket: Equipped with glycol water inlet and outlet, the dimple cooling jacket efficiently regulates the temperature inside the tank, ensuring the perfect fermentation conditions for your beer.
