A portable yeast pitching skid for craft breweries

摘要

Higher flexibility | Dosing or pitching the exact amount of live yeast into each fermenter is critical for consistent fermentation performance and beer quality. Automatic dosing systems can provide a solution. However, in a typical expanding craft brewery, there can be a plethora of fermenters and yeast storage vessels located around the site, and the usual dosing equipment is not portable. Therefore Aber Instruments Ltd, Aberystwyth, UK developed a portable yeast pitching skid for use in craft breweries that can be connected to any yeast storage vessel or fermenter. A case study was carried out at the Meantime Brewing Company, London, UK.
