Cold Liquor Tank
In the brewery industry liquor is a term used to refer to water for use in the brewing process. A Cold Liquor Tank is therefore a tank filled with cold process water as seen in breweries. These tanks are often needed because breweries operate as Batch production processes rather than Continuous production processes. This means the production rates of water (liquor) are often insufficient for the point loading requirements of the processes. Cold liquor tanks are used as buffer storage for this purpose such that water production rates are sufficient on average. The specific use case for a Cold Liquor Tank as opposed to other tanks holding the same quality of water in a brewery is that it holds the water which will be used to cool Wort after it has been through the brew kettle or copper vessel (a brew kettle is a boiling vessel used to break open complex sugars into simpler sugars). The wort temperature needs to be reduced to a temperature suitable for yeast to consume the sugars and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brewery
A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer. The place at which beer is commercially made is either called a brewery or a beerhouse, where distinct sets of brewing equipment are called plant. The commercial brewing of beer has taken place since at least 2500 BC; in ancient Mesopotamia, brewers derived social sanction and divine protection from the goddess Ninkasi. Brewing was initially a cottage industry, with production taking place at home; by the ninth century, monasteries and farms would produce beer on a larger scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built. The diversity of size in breweries is matched by the diversity of processes, degrees of automation, and kinds of beer produced in breweries. A brewery is typically divided into distinct sections, with each section reserved for one part of the brewing process. History Beer may have been known in N ...
