Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of saccharification pots, in particular to a saccharification pot used for producing craft beer. Background Art

[0002] Saccharification refers to the process of decomposing starch into sweet products by adding water. It is the main process of generating intermediate products in the process of food fermentation. The saccharification pot is a device that mixes malt powder with water and promotes starch saccharification. It is one of the key equipment in the production of craft beer. During the saccharification process of beer, yeast, protein impurities, hops and hop resin compounds, beer stones, etc., due to factors such as static electricity, are easily deposited on the inner wall surface of the saccharification pot, making the surface of the equipment rough, providing a habitat for microorganisms to grow, thereby affecting the quality of craft beer. Therefore, it needs to be cleaned in time after saccharification discharge.

[0003] Among them, the "saccharification pot for craft beer production" disclosed in application number "CN202223207395.1" "comprises a main body, which is the pot body of the saccharification pot for craft beer production, a pot cover, which is installed on the top of the main body, a fixed block, which is fixedly connected to the top of the pot cover, a motor, which is slidably connected to the fixed block, a connecting block, which is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block, an electric cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block, a rotating rod, which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, a cleaning rod, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod, and a cleaning layer, which is installed on the cleaning rod.
