The trending "craft beer" is becoming increasingly familiar and recognized, as it possesses a unique charm that distinguishes it from industrial beer. In the sweltering summer heat, gathering with friends and family to enjoy freshly brewed beer paired with delicious dishes is a great pleasure. Craft beer, introduced from abroad, is still relatively unfamiliar to many in China. It's currently quite popular in first-tier cities, but relatively underserved in third- and fourth-tier cities. Therefore, craft beer is still a good option for those living in these cities who want to venture into the craft beer market. So, how do you choose good craft beer equipment? The most important aspects of craft beer equipment are the materials, recipe, and brewing techniques. Therefore, when purchasing craft beer equipment, you need to determine your specific intended use, whether it's a beer house, a restaurant, or a partnership with a barbecue stall or hotel. The goal is to select equipment that suits your production capacity. If the equipment you choose has a production capacity that's too high, and you can't sell your beer, the result will be detrimental.
Buying equipment naturally requires dealing with the manufacturer, who will generally ask you to inspect it. Compare prices from three different suppliers. Be sure to choose one with its own factory so you can see the production process and witness the equipment being shipped. This will give you a good idea of what you're looking for.
Craft beer equipment comes in many different models and configurations, but food-grade 304 stainless steel is essential to ensure healthy beer. Don't blindly pursue a low price. A low price means manufacturers will naturally want to control costs, which can lead to cutting corners on materials. Visit three suppliers and compare price, configuration, manufacturer expertise, and customer service. Consider all aspects of the equipment.
During a field trip, you can try the brewery's brews to see how they taste and whether they're enjoyable. Then, you can explore the various beers and delve deeper into the craftsmanship and brewing process. While the brewing process might seem complex, good equipment is simple to operate and features intelligent controls.
A complete set of craft beer brewing equipment includes a saccharification system, a fermentation system, a malt mill, a hot water system, and an intelligent control system. The saccharification and fermentation systems range in capacity from 100L to 5000L. Choosing the equipment that best suits your needs depends on both financial constraints and product sales.
If you have the funds, interest, and drive, craft beer—start your journey of freedom.
