Yeast Management
Yeast Propagation System
The Yeast Propagation System is a controlled process unit for expanding yeast cell counts under sterile conditions prior to pitching. It enables breweries to maintain yeast health, consistency, and availability without reliance on external supply or repeated repitching cycles.
The system integrates sterile aeration, temperature control, agitation, and staged propagation vessels to support stepwise yeast growth. Designed for both craft and larger-scale breweries, it ensures consistent pitching rates and improved fermentation performance.
Yeast Quality and Consistency
-
01
Controlled Propagation Environment
Sterile conditions and controlled aeration support healthy yeast growth, reducing contamination risk and variability between batches.
-
02
Improved Fermentation Performance
Consistent pitching rates and yeast vitality lead to more predictable fermentation kinetics and flavour outcomes.
-
03
Reduced Yeast Dependency
On-site propagation reduces reliance on external yeast supply and supports strain management within the brewery.
Process Control
-
04
Staged Propagation
Multi-step scaling allows gradual yeast growth from lab or brink volumes to production pitch size.
-
05
Integrated Temperature and Aeration Control
Precise control over propagation conditions ensures optimal yeast metabolism and growth efficiency.
-
06
CIP-Compatible Design
Full clean-in-place capability maintains hygiene across propagation cycles.
