Yeast Handling System
Yeast is the ‘life blood’ of the Brewery; in order to maintain beer quality it is therefore essential that is looked after and managed correctly. Microdat have developed a Yeast Handling System which combines yeast skimming and yeast pitching in a compact modular format, comprising of a Yeast Storage Vessel (YSV) and a Microdat hygienic peristaltic pump. The pump is multi- purpose; utilised for yeast skimming, yeast pitching and YSV CIP scavenge.
Yeast Skimming Mode:The Microdat hygienic peristaltic pump is ideal for vacuum yeast skimming of top fermenting FV’s. Yeast is pumped directly into the YSV and the collection weight recorded.
Yeast Pitching Mode:The wort main is routed directly to the Yeast Module for in-line pitching, thereby eliminating the need for a separate yeast pitching main. Yeast is automatically pitched by weight, via the YSV load cell and a hygienic mixproof valve is utilised for yeast injection.
Yeast Storage Mode: In storage mode, the yeast is kept chilled in the YSV by cold wall panels. Microdat Yeast Mixer is designed to gently stir the yeast, whilst ensuring there is no damage to the yeast cells.
