In the world of craft brewing, growth is a sign of success. It's the moment a beloved local beer becomes a regional favorite, and a regional favorite sets its sights on national distribution. But this leap in ambition requires a leap in equipment. It's one thing to brew a few hundred liters at a time; it's another entirely to master the art of fermentation on a scale of tens of thousands of liters.
This is the exciting challenge faced by our latest partner in Canada, a well-established and ambitious brewery ready to make a major move. To fuel their expansion, they needed fermentation tanks that were not just large, but exceptionally reliable, precise, and built to the highest standards. After a global search for a partner they could trust with such a critical investment, they chose Jinan Cassman Machinery.
Today, we are proud to share that their vision is becoming a reality. Two colossal 10,000L (1000HL) Conical Fermenters have completed their final quality inspections at our facility and are now being loaded for their long journey to Canada.
A 10,000L batch is not forgiving. Any inconsistency in temperature, any flaw in design, or any weakness in construction can lead to a spoiled batch—a significant loss. That's why our approach to manufacturing large-scale fermenters is rooted in precision engineering and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
Here’s what makes our 10,000L Conical Fermenters the choice for serious brewers:
Robust Construction for Absolute Reliability: Built from high-grade SUS304 stainless steel, with a 3mm thick shell and a 2mm thick cone, these tanks are engineered to withstand the immense pressures and forces of large-volume fermentation. They are not just containers; they are industrial-grade workhorses designed for a lifetime of service.
Precision Temperature Control: This is the most critical factor in brewing great beer, especially at scale. Our fermenters feature a state-of-the-art laser-welded dimple plate jacket, providing superior and uniform heat transfer. This ensures the entire 10,000L volume maintains a consistent, precise temperature, allowing the brewer to perfectly control flavor profile and ester production from the first day to the last.
Optimized Yeast Management: The 60-degree conical bottom is not just a design choice; it's a functional necessity. This steep angle ensures that yeast and other sediments settle quickly and compactly at the base, making harvesting clean, efficient, and highly effective. For a brewery of this size, reliable yeast management is key to consistency and cost control.
Designed for the Brewer: We believe that powerful equipment should also be intuitive. Each tank is fitted with a large-diameter manhole for easy access, a high-efficiency CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) spray ball for impeccable sanitation, and strategically placed sampling ports and racking arms. Every detail is considered to make the brewer's job safer, easier, and more efficient.
Watching a 10,000L fermenter being prepared for shipment is a powerful experience. It’s a testament to the immense scale of our clients' ambitions and the heavy responsibility we carry. As you can see in the video, our team handles this process with meticulous care. From custom-built support frames to expertly planned logistics, we ensure that our equipment arrives at its destination in perfect condition, ready for immediate installation. This isn't just shipping; it's the first step of a long-term partnership.
The arrival of these two 10,000L fermenters will be a game-changer for our Canadian partner. It will enable them to:
Dramatically increase production capacity to meet growing demand across the country.
Improve batch-to-batch consistency through superior control over the fermentation process.
Enhance operational efficiency by allowing them to brew larger, more economical flagship batches.
Solidify their reputation as a major player in the North American craft beer scene.
