Advances In Brewing Technology

FB*PROPAK’s founder and MD, Paul Baggio, recently spoke with Beer & Brewer Magazine about how advances in brewing technology have improved accuracy, consistency and ease of use for brewers.

“Today micro-scaled brewhouses have all the technologies of super brewery plants. Reversible lauter rakes that make graining out simpler, safer and less labour intensive; convection heating over multiple mash tun zones with step controls, along with VSD drive pumps, heat recovery mash and kettle systems that provide co-gen recovery. Modern day systems can be recipe-driven by tablets, connected and controlled online. Full brewing expertise, along with quality control and consistency, is no longer prohibited by access to big budgets. Innovation in brewing technologies has played a critical role in making brewing accessible in all beer consuming markets.”

“Innovations in the can packaging space have enabled counter pressure technology to be accessible and gain favour over the older more clunky purge fill can packaging, providing DO (dissolved oxygen) levels measured in low parts per billion as compared to the comparatively high levels of DO provided by gravity purge systems.”

“When talking new technology in 2019, words like isobaric counter pressure can packaging and crossflow are the buzzwords”
