Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer fermentation, in particular to a craft beer fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] The beer fermentation process is the normal life activity of beer yeast under certain conditions, using the fermentable substances in the wort. The product of its metabolism is beer. The beer fermentation process is a sterile and pollution-free process. The closed nature of the fermentation tank provides a sterile system environment for the fermentation of beer and is a tool to achieve beer fermentation.

[0003] For example, a craft beer fermentation tank disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN220812341U has a body that swings back and forth in the axial direction, thereby better rotating and spraying water on the inner wall of the fermentation tank body to clean it, and the cleaning effect is good. Although the cleaning effect of the device is good, the effect of the device on beer fermentation is poor and the efficiency is low. This device is provided with a stirring mechanism. The staff first unscrews the lid and pours the yeast into the fermentation tank, and then starts the motor. The motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod drives the stirring rod to rotate. The stirring rod stirs the yeast in the fermentation tank so that the yeast can fully play its role, preparing for the subsequent fermentation of beer, thereby improving the production efficiency of the device. The device is a whole, and during the worker's operation process Impurities are easily mixed into the material, which will cause a certain degree of pollution to the finished product. This device is equipped with a connecting mechanism to make the fermentation tank and the liquid storage room into two parts. The staff uses a crane to hang the hanging ring to lift the fermentation tank above the liquid storage room, align the connecting port with the connecting mechanism, and then lower the fermentation tank. The connecting port slowly enters the connecting mechanism, and the connecting port squeezes the button. The button pushes the U-shaped push rod backward, and the U-shaped push rod pushes the reset spring backward. When the rod enters the connecting mechanism, the button enters the connecting port at the same time to complete the fixation. Then the fermentation tank discharges yeast into the liquid storage room, and the yeast and the wheat juice in the liquid storage room ferment. After fermentation is completed, the wheat juice in the liquid storage room will become beer, which ensures the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content
