ANNEX 1
GENERAL PROCESS DESCRIPTION
163
After 30 min. rest in the whirlpool the wort is pumped through the wort cooler
from 94° to 10° C in one hour. The cold wort is aerated by approx. 35 ml air/ itre
wort. The aerated wort is sent to one of the fermented (combinetanks) which
can contain 3 brews, i. e. 150 hl net. With the first brew to a tank all the yeast
required for three brews is injected, i. e. 150 litres. The yeast is kept in two
yeast storage tanks with cooling jackets and agitators and can be reused up to
10 times. Each time the yeast is used in a fermented the amount doubles. The
excess yeast can be treated with 2% propionic acid and sold to the farmers as
pigs' feed
The wort now in the fermented will start fermenting and the temperature is
allowed to increase to about 16 ° C and the pressure to 1.3 - 1.5 bar where it is
then kept automatically. After 4 days the beer is end-fermented. It is then kept
for 48 hours at 16° C in order to reduce the diacetyl to less than 0.15ppm (mg
per kg) before cooling down in the tank till -1 °C is initiated. As soon as the
cooling is started the yeast will sediment and it is then immediately taken out
and pumped to one of the two yeast storage tanks. When the beer in the
fermented has reached -1 ° C it is kept there for 1-2 days. Before the beer is
pumped to the kieselguhr filter, the final sediment in the tank, approx. 1 hl, is
drained. The beer filtration takes place in a kieselguhr filter and a trap filter.
The beer is checked for taste and CO2 before it is released for filtration
The filtered beer is lead to the two bright beer tanks into which it is filled under
CO2 counterpressure of 1.2 bar. When the beer has been tested for CO2 taste
and turbidity it is released for filling
The filling line comprises equipment for filling of bottles.
The bottling equipment is suitable for handling of 0.51tr. returnable bottles with
a nominal capacity of 6,000bph
Returned bottles are manually unpacked and then conveyed to the automatic
bottle washer where they are cleaned with caustic soda and water
The cleaned bottles are visually inspected and then sent to the filler/crowner
where the beer is filling in and the crown cork applied. The full bottles are now
sent to the tunnel pasteurized where the beer is gently pasteurized
The bottles out of the pasteurizer are inspected for any leakage before they are
conveyed to the labelling machine where a body label is applied. The labelled
bottles are now manually packed in crates and sent to the full bottles
warehouse.
164
Sanitation
The brewing equipment is cleaned by a CIP plant using recovered water for
first rinse and caustic soda and acid for cleaning following by clean water rinse
Utilities
Water of good quality is available from the town supply and the main line to be
the brewery and in the brewery will be local supply
A hot water tank is included for recovery of hot water from the wort cooling
The cooling plant comprises two NH3 compressors which via a heat exchanger
produce glycol water of -4°C to -5° C which is then used for wort cooling, yeast
storage tank cooling and fermenting tank cooling
The steam is generated in a steam generator and supplies the brewhouse, the
filling line and the CIP plant
Compressed air is generated by an air compressor and is used for wort aeration,
emptying of fermenters and for automatic valves
CO2 recovery is included and it will be possible to recover 60 tons CO 2 per year
of which 20-30 tons will be consumed by the brewery whereas the rest can be
sold for various purposes, i. e. welding and soft drinks carbonation
Power is available from the authorities as 3 x380 V + 0 + earth and the brewery
will be equipment with a main distribution board with fuses and breaks as well
as local operation panels for each department
The automation is based on manual operation of the brewhouse and beer
processing but automatic temperature control for brew vessels, wort cooler and
fermented
The cooling plant, steam plant, air compressor and CO 2 recovery plant are all
fully automatic
For the filling line each machine is automatically regulated for temperature
control and stops.
Laboratory Equipment
The most basic equipment is included like CO2 Gehaltemeter, hazemeter,
platometers, thermometers, pH meter and various glassware and alcohol testing
equipment
