Where should I start when buying beer brewing equipment?
Brewing craft beer is an intriguing process. With the advancement of time, the demands of beer enthusiasts for beer are gradually increasing. For beginners in beer brewing, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge of beer brewing so that you can choose brewing equipment that suits you. ACE Beer Equipment will share with you the aspects you should consider when purchasing beer equipment.
1. Choose the right beer equipment
There are so many beer brewing equipment available on the market now that it can be overwhelming for novice brewers. There are many factors to consider, such as the brewing process and the quality of local water. If the local water quality is not good, it may contain impurities and chlorine. In such cases, water treatment equipment can be used to purify the water. Of course, if you want to save time and cost, you can buy beer equipment from ACE. We will develop a suitable solution based on your requirements.
2. Choose the right size beer equipment
When brewing beer, you need to consider the size of the equipment based on your specific situation. Firstly, you need to determine how much space you have to accommodate the equipment. Secondly, you should consider whether your budget allows you to purchase such large equipment. It is advisable to choose equipment with a larger capacity than planned to prevent the wort from boiling over during the brewing process.
3. Material of beer equipment
Beer brewing equipment is commonly made of stainless steel, copper, or aluminum, with stainless steel being the most popular choice among manufacturers. There are various types of stainless steel materials available on the market, and 304 stainless steel is generally preferred. If you have a larger budget and require high corrosion resistance, you may choose stainless steel 316 as the raw material. The choice depends on your specific needs.

4. Thickness of beer equipment
Some brewery equipment manufacturers use thinner stainless steel, while others opt for stainless steel 304/316 fabrication. Thinner plates result in lower pressure on the equipment. Poorly handled welding seams may cause water leakage and greatly affect the quality. ACE uses tested raw materials with qualified test reports, so you can make a confident purchase.
5. Seek expert advice before purchasing
Nowadays, there are many home brewers and small breweries in urban areas and towns across the country. Before buying beer equipment, you can seek advice from them, combining their opinions with your own knowledge to gain a better understanding of the equipment you intend to purchase. This can provide considerable help.
6. Familiarize yourself with the operation of beer equipment
Beer equipment is high-powered machinery, and mishandling it can lead to great danger. Proper training is required for independent beer brewing and operating beer equipment. When problems arise, emergency measures should be taken. Before brewing, it is crucial to undergo simulated operations under the guidance of a professional operator and only proceed when fully qualified.
