[0019] In this embodiment, the yeast seed liquid adding unit 1 can be controlled to selectively control the addition of yeast of different generations to correspond to different pots. Moreover, during the yeast adding process, the addition amount of yeast of different generations can be controlled according to the cold wort of different pots, so as to accurately ferment and use the yeast and maximize the utilization of the yeast.
[0020] Furthermore, the yeast seed liquid addition unit 1 includes a seed liquid fermentation tank 11, a yeast addition pipeline 12, a yeast mass flowmeter 13 and an online yeast counter 14.

Further, the yeast mass flowmeter 13 and the online yeast counter 14 form a yeast counting component. Yeast seed liquids of different generations (specifically 0-4 generations) are collected, and the online yeast counter 14 is used to detect the quantity standards of seed liquids of different yeast generations, and the optical probe data is calibrated; the laboratory offline yeast counter is used to compare with the online yeast counter 14 to ensure that the online yeast counter 14 counts accurately. This makes the yeast addition more accurate and the fermentation effect better. Furthermore, a laboratory offline yeast counter is used to compare with the online yeast counter 14. The online yeast counter 14 can be calibrated in real time.
