What makes a country prefer one beer over another? Is it good branding, mass marketing, and consumers choosing the most easily available option? Or is it something more deeply ingrained into the subconscious of a nation of people?

YoLong celebrate everything about beer and its production. We do this by creating the best equipment to do the perfect job of duplicating a popular beer recipe every time. It is, after all, a beer’s consistency and excellence that raises it to the top of the most beloved beers in a country.

Northern Africa

Algeria – Tango (Heineken)

Heineken acquired Algeria’s best-selling beer, S.A.R.L. Tango, in 2008. It comes in two varieties: Tango Biére blonde and Tango Sans Alcool (alcohol-free). Tango is a pale lager -North American/Light Beer. This describes a beer that is a cross between a Pilsner and a Pale Lager. A pale lager/North Am. light will typically have softer carbonation than the classic Pilsner popular in Europe.

Tango is characterized by its light to medium body, average carbonation, and 4.8% ABV. Described as golden in colour, with aromas of malt and straw, after expert pouring, Tango will have a thin, white head. Drinkers have pronounced the taste as: grain; sweet; malt; papery; thin.

Why is Tango the Most Popular Beer in Algeria?

Although Europeans might find the thin, light flavour of Tango unappetizing on a snowy day, Algerians love the sweet, refreshing golden beer with a thin, white head and restrained carbonation. It is perfect for the Mediterranean climate of North Algeria and the extreme temperatures experienced in the Tell region.

How Would a Commercial Beer Brewer Control the Carbonation Process?

Tango’s signature flat, thin, white head is probably created with a post-filter (to remove the yeast) carbonation process. Every beer needs to keep CO2 gas inside the liquid, and this requires the pressure from a sealed bottle lid or cap. When the cap is removed or the tab is pulled off the can, the pressure is released and the bubbles begin to rise.

Most natural carbonation escapes during the fermentation of the wort. Natural carbonation occurs in the commercial brewery vessels or it can happen in the bottle when the beer is given time to ferment. Unfiltered beer has the active yeast hanging in a suspension in the liquid. When sugar is added to the beer upon bottling, the sugar and yeast will release the CO2, which is then absorbed by the beer.

Southern Africa

South Africa – Carling Black Label Beer (SAB)

As South African Breweries – SAB – proudly announces on their site, they have been producing Carling Black Label for over 40 years. CBL has won many awards all over the world and when it appears in beer tasting expos, it receives a warm reception from those who sample it. It is also known as Zamalek, and the history of how Carling Black Label came to be called that is an interesting one.

How Carling Black Label Came to Be Called Zamalek

Egypt has a football (soccer) club called Zamalek. They visited South Africa in 1993 to play in the African Cup Championship. They played against the legendary South African soccer team called Kaiser Chiefs. The Egyptian Zamalek team beat Kaiser Chiefs in a slamming 1 – 2 victory, and knocked the South African team right out of the championship. This complete knockout and defeat is used to describe the effect drinking a Carling Black Label can have on someone.

The reason for this is, while most beers sold in South Africa have less than 5% ABV, Carling Black Label packs a powerful 5.5% alcohol content punch. This is more than enough increase in ABV to take the average beer drinker out of the competition!

The Taste of Carling Black Label/Zamalek

Carling Black Label is characterized by its full-bodied, smooth, rewarding flavour. It has been described by visitors from other countries as having a distinctive, fruity aroma and low bitterness levels. It is a thin, light beer with a soft, delicate fizz created from the carbonation process. When poured by an expert, a Black Label beer should have a lightly foamy and translucent head of white bubbles, and a sweet, fruity taste with overtones of citrus.

This seems to be the ideal balance of refreshing lightness and drinkability needed from a beer in such a hot climate. CBL has become one of SABs most successful commercially produced beers.

How Do Breweries Stop Beers from Being Too Bitter?

There is a difference between the tang produced by a hoppy beer and the sharp, bitter overtones created by excess tannins. Tannins occur in malted grains as a form of polyphenol (a micronutrient that activates the bitterness receptors in the taste buds). During the mashing process, when the sweet, malted grain is combined with temperature-controlled water, the heated water activates the malt enzymes. This activation triggers the grain’s starch to begin converting into sugar.

Mashing is done in a large container called a mash tun. The mash tun retains the heat while the grain starch is activated for the optimum amount of time. The next process is called the lautering; this is done in the lauter tun. The spent grain and husks are separated from the sweet wort in a lauter tun.

It is during the brewing process in the mash tun and lauter tun where the tannins, extracted from the husks, can be driven higher. This is caused by several factors.

Excessive tannin will be extracted from beer if the pH balance has been allowed to go too high (6.0 and above). This can happen because grains are steeped in an extracted brew that contains too much water, or when the all-grain brew wort is lautering. The grain-to-water ratio has to be calculated exactly, in order to avoid excess tannins from being extracted.

If a brew is all-grain, the tannins are best extracted close to the end of the sparge and lautering process. It’s at this juncture when the pH can rise above 6.0. To counteract the pH rising, keep an eye on the pH of the mash. Maintain it at around 5.2 to 5.6 pH during the mashing, lautering, and brewing.

If this sounds very complicated, it’s because breweries are run by some of the most qualified and excellent brew masters in the world. They have in-depth knowledge on how to craft beer using science and instinct.

Commercial breweries, and a high percentage of craft breweries as well, rely on fully automatic brewery equipment. This is to ensure the beer recipe is created and produced according to the strict guidelines laid down by the brew master.

Asia & Europe

Turkey – Efes (Anadolu Group)

The country of Turkey occupies a unique geographical position. It lies between Asia and Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, and represents a blend of both cultures.

Turkey is an incredibly popular holiday destination (sixth most popular holiday destination in the world) for people all over the world, but especially from the Asian and European continents. They flock there for the clement weather, delicious cuisine, and friendly people. Turkey is the cradle of civilization and the centre of where beer culture originates.

Turkey’s most identifiable and world-renowned beer is Efes Pilsen. The manufacturers of this famous beer are world leaders in setting trends and the first to reach ground-breaking goals.

Interesting Facts About Anadolu Efes Pilsen Beer

Every visitor to Turkey knows how to pronounce “Efes” – it is Eff (how the letter “F” is pronounced) and Ess (how the letter “S” is pronounced) – so say Eff-Ess when you want to order one. But this is not the only interesting fact to know about Anadolu Efes Pilsen.

The name Efes was chosen by the beer’s national consumers. A competition was held and the inspiration for the winning name came from the ancient historical city of Ephesus, near the Ege Biracılık ve Malt Sanayii A.Ş. brewery in İzmir. Efes Pilsen won a gold medal in Paris at the Sélection Mondial in 1973, and has been winning international beer awards steadily ever since then.

Anadolu Efes Pilsen Taste and Flavour Profile

Efes is a European Pale Lager. It has an ABV of 5% and is produced all year round to satisfy its ever-increasing fan base. When the beer is expertly poured (an aggressive centre pour with abrupt taper off), it appears clean and clear in the glass with a thin, white head after settling. The colour is yellow with slight effervescence and a small amount of lacing occurring during drinking.

The aroma upon first inhalation is redolent of rich corn with a touch of sugar, and a welcome hint of lightly floral hops.

The taste and flavour of Efes has been described as slightly citrus, corn cake, polenta, and cream crackers. For the beer drinker who is expecting a fine Pilsener, and the identifying Pilsener qualities of crisp, clear appearance and taste, Efes does not disappoint.

It’s for these reasons – the consistent taste and aroma profile, light to moderate herby, floral, and earthy character, and light to medium body and carbonation – that you will find its green glass bottle and dark, royal blue label on tables all over the world as Efes sales continue to dominant Europe and Asia.

North America

The United States of America – Bud Light (Anheuser-Busch)

Light or “Lite” beers are slowly taking over in countries that tick these boxes:

• People want cheap beer
• Consumers are moving to beers with lower alcohol content
• The market is saturated with advertising that influences the target demographic to choose lite beer

How Did Bud Light Become the Best Selling Beer in the United States?

Between the two largest beer companies in the U.S., (Anheuser Busch and Miller Coors) they control 71% of the beer market in that country. The truth is, if an alcohol and beverage distributor wants to stock a range of beer brands, they have to give the prominent shelf and fridge positions to these two beer suppliers, or they will lose their price profit margin.

So, when a customer is rushing into the store to buy a quick six pack, the first thing they will see is a display with either an Anheuser Busch or a Miller Coors product stacked on it, and the prices will be the cheapest in the store. It’s no wonder that only 11 brewers in total account for 90% of all beer sold in the United States.

The shopping patterns of beer buyers show that when consumers have to cater for a large crowd of drinkers, such as a party or barbecue, they pick lite beer over tasty craft beer every time. It saves them money, and provides their guests with a budget-friendly, light, refreshing brew that is not going to hit them over the head with the alcohol content. It’s for these reasons that Bud Light/Lite is the most popular beer in the States.

Key Facts About Bud Light

As are most of the favourite beers in hotter climates, Bud Light is an American Light Lager. It has an ABV of 4.2% and is brewed using a combination of rice and barley malts, and a blend of premium hops of different varieties. Some of the hops are grown in America and a percentage is imported from overseas.

This is because there has been a massive strain on American hop suppliers since the emergence of multiple craft breweries across the county. Part of the appeal of a craft beer is that it is brewed according to the traditions of yesteryear, and this means as few imported natural ingredients as possible.

The countrywide hop shortage is leading to the expansion and construction of craft breweries to slow down or stall completely. This is a sad consequence to the popularity of locality crafted beer. Hopefully, the issue will be resolved with more hop crops being grown or imported.

There are many commercial and craft brewery equipment fabricators who are able to supply the natural raw ingredients needed to make beer. Manufacturing outstanding brewery equipment is not the only talent many companies have. Being able to introduce high quality beer ingredient suppliers to breweries is a necessary subdivision of the beer making process.

What Do Bud Light Drinkers Have to Say About the Beer?

Beer drinkers enjoy Bud Light because of its consistency and generic taste that holds no surprises. You can safely grab one at a party or a barbecue with the knowledge that it will quench you thirst and satisfy your need for a normal beer taste.

It is recommended to serve Bud Light at an icy temperature, and then drink it before the condensation droplets have rolled to the bottom of the bottle. And Bud Light consumers are insistent that the bottled beer tastes better and more refreshing than the cans.

Bud light has a pale, yellow colour and pours with a large, foamy head that quickly dissipates into a medium head with sizeable bubbles. As far as lacing is concerned (the residue left by the beer head foam as you drink the beer), Bud Light has virtually no lacing.

The aroma of a Bud Light has been described by various drinkers as having notes of corn, waffle syrup, and sugar. There is minimal hop taste presence, and most Bud Light drinkers enjoy its innocuous beer flavour with the equivalent carbonation to a soda. When the bottle is completely drained, there might be a hint of sweet grain finish if you sniff the bottle opening deeply.

Bud Light consumers rave about its exceptional drinkability for people of all taste preferences.

Anheuser-Busch has an appealing “farm to bottle” step by step manufacturing process. From the sourcing of the ingredients, through to putting the cap on the bottle, Bud Light is monitored and subjected to rigorous quality control. This can be seen in the unvarying taste and colour in the billions of Bud Light bottles sold around the world and across the States every year.

Beer: Price, Taste, & Marketing is what decides which one you buy

End of Part 1

This is the first in our series about countries and the beers they love. It is fascinating to discover the reasons why certain beers grow to become the dominant product in the different countries. These favourite beer brands are so ingrained into the consciousness of the citizens of each place that even when the person moves to live in another country, they will still prefer the taste of the beers to which they were initially exposed. To them, it is the taste of home and one to which they will always identify.

However, craft beer production is growing at an almost exponential rate. Could it be that one day, the most popular beers around the world map will change over to craft beer?

Let the YoLong Brewery Equipment Team know what you think in the comments below.

The YoLong team is back from Melbourne, Australia, where we were proud to exhibit some of our equipment at BrewCon19, the 7^th Australian Brewers Conference & Trade Expo, which is held every year by the Independent Brewers Association.

Only one word can describe the event experience – epic! Everything to do with the world of high quality beer, and the brewery equipment that produces it, was on show at the Melbourne Convention Centre. From Tuesday September 3, and lasting four days until Friday, the conference presented the many visitors with the most outstanding beer-related products available on this side of the world!

YoLong 10bbl brewhouse on BrewCon 2019

YoLong have our own take on the exiting few days we spent in Melbourne. You can call it the YoLong Beer Diary, because the BrewCon19 event makes for interesting reading. If you attended the Independent Brewers Association Trade Expo 2019, please let us know in the Comments section what you thought of the exhibits on show.

YoLong Arrival in Melbourne

The YoLong team touched down at Melbourne airport on Monday September 2^nd. There was no time to waste and after a quick trip to the hotel, we spent the rest of the day getting to know the beautiful city of Melbourne a bit better. It was very exciting being able to explore the streets where the annual Chinese New Year festival celebrations are held.

YoLong Equipment Arriving at BrewCon19 Melbourne Convention Centre

Our guide showed us around Queensbridge Square, South Wharf, and Docklands, before a quick look at Queen Victoria Market and finally, back to the hotel. That evening, the YoLong brewery equipment arrived at the Melbourne Convention Centre, and waited for the team’s arrival before it could be set it up at stands 40 to 42.

Setting Up the YoLong Fully Automatic 10bbl Brewhouse at BrewCon19

The brewery equipment YoLong Industries manufacture is fully functional and ready to begin use when it leaves our factory floor. Because the equipment arrives already assembled, it was simply a matter of safely placing it at stands 40 – 42, and unwrapping the fully automatic 10bbl YoLong brewhouse before the visitors started arriving.

YoLong brewhouse set up

The YoLong team was very excited to be able to introduce the fully automatic 10bbl Brewhouse to a wider audience at Australia’s premier beer industry keystone event. Getting in touch with visitors and fellow beer equipment enthusiasts was one of the highlights of BrewCon19. YoLong brewery equipment is cutting edge technology linked to the highest quality production standards, and our stands were considered to be one of the most striking ones at the event.

Both commercial and independent beer producers attended the event to keep up to date with what is happening in the world of beer and brewery equipment innovations. YoLong wanted the impressive Brewhouse to be there to greet visitors when they made their way to our side of the convention centre. Many hours were spent placing the brewhouse in the right place and ensuring the Siemens touchscreen control cabinet was operational.

The advantages of having a fully automatic brewhouse is that the touchscreen is operational on both stations. There is also a racking arm that can be used in conjunction with the cellar control panel. The racking arm and sample valve, that YoLong produce, have been designed to control and eliminate beer contact with the threaded fittings. It ensures the path the beer takes, both in and out of the racking arm and valve, is smooth. This reduces the areas where dried yeast and beer can hide and possibly contaminate the beer itself.

The Fully Automatic 10bbl YoLong Brewhouse Ready to Greet Visitors to Our Stands

BrewCon19: What Visitors to the YoLong Stands Liked the Best

The event opened officially on Wednesday. Industry professionals and interested visitors from every corner of Australia made their way through the entrance to check out the latest developments and most recent launches in the production of beer and brewery equipment.

The YoLong stand had everyone stopping by to take a look at the massive, gleaming, and  functional fully automatic 10bbl brewhouse. Although this set up is suitable for the launch or expansion of an independent brewery, there were a few visitors who were interested in finding out more about the commercial brewery equipment that YoLong Industries designs, fabricates, transports, and installs all over the world.

Visitors Getting to Know the Fully Automatic 10bbl Brewhouse Better

No independent brewmaster sets out to establish a brand for it to stay small and relatively unknown. The YoLong team fielded many questions about the best way to expand a small brewery into a bigger enterprise. This works in two ways:

• Expanding the floor space and brewing capacity of an already established brewery
• Finding new premises to install bigger equipment

This does not necessarily mean that the brewmaster loses the beer brand’s uniqueness and freedom to experiment with new recipes and flavours; all an independent brewery expansion means is that the brewery is now capable of producing more beer for their happy customers to buy at other distribution points. These are the reasons why the question on how to expand a brewery was such a popular one to ask our expert team at the YoLong stand.

The stairs that offered our visitors a closer look at the internal workings of the YoLong brewhouse proved to be very interesting for many people. People were climbing up and down them all day. We feel confident in saying that climbing those stairs became a must-do activity at BrewCon19!

What Did the Exhibitors and Visitors Have to Say About the YoLong BrewCon19 Display?

YoLong consider our time at BrewCon19 very successful. Our team met many people and were able to assist with every beer-related inquiry. It was very kind of the visitors to the YoLong stand to say that the display was the best in the exhibition. When Ellerslie Hop Estate: hops, malt and brewing supplies representative, Greg came to chat with us, he was very kind to say he rated the YoLong display the most outstanding one on show that year.

If you were not able to make it to the event, let us tell you a bit more about the equipment the YoLong team transported to Melbourne.

YoLong Rake Arm for Mash Lauter Tun: What do the rake arms in the lauter tun do?

The finished mash is transferred from the mash tun into the circular lauter tun. It’s here that the viscosity of the wort is reduced when the mash is heated. Using a rake arm in the lauter tun prevents the grain from compacting and clogging the filter mesh with a stuck sparge.

Stuck sparge is a nightmare for all grain beers. It occurs when the filter mesh and grain bed at the bottom of the lauter tun become backed up and prevent the wort from flowing. YoLong lauter tuns have pressure sensors, usually one situated near the bottom of the bed and one situated higher up. The brewmaster, or the automated system in the brewhouse control system, can read the differences in the two pressures and use the rake arm at various speeds to prevent sticking.

Rake arms aren’t necessary in a homebrew set up. This is because it is the weight of the mash grain in the lauter tun that causes the sticking. Even on a small commercial or independent brewery set up, adjustable height rake arms are an essential item for maintaining the flow of the wort from the spent grains.

From top left clockwise: Rake arm for the mash in the lauter tun; top view of mash lauter tun; Siemens touchscreen; brewhouse control cabinet.

YoLong Kettle & Whirlpool Tank: How Does the Kettle and Whirlpool Tanks Work?

If you are curious to find out what whirlpooling your beer is all about, this is where you can learn more about the process. Whirlpooling is done in the kettle. It is a well-known method breweries use to separate the hop pellets and trub (hop debris) from the wort after it has been boiled. The wort is pumped into the kettle at a rapid velocity (about 15 feet/4.6 metres per second), and this causes the wort to spin around like a whirlpool.

The combination of kettle and whirlpool offer the same properties as a whirlpool on its own. However, the advantages of using the KWP combination system include significantly reduced oxygen uptake. This is because no wort transfer is necessary and it saves time by eliminating the need for separate whirlpool tanks.

From top left clockwise: top view of KWP; hop-adding vessel on top of KWP (it can reduce O2 intake); baffle inside KWP monitors temperatures, avoids overflow, increases evaporation value, and removes DMS (Dimethyl sulfide) as well as other volatile gasses; Blocker in KWP to ensure more wort.

What is the YoLong Fully Automated Brewhouse For?

Because the brewing of quality beer is half science and half artistry, the process can be a difficult one to automate. There are three critical points in the beer making progression on which automation focuses: Mash tun temperature quality and control, wort cooling, and the thermotic control of the fermentation process.

Many fledgling independent brewers believe that a fully automated brewhouse (and attached price tag) is cost-prohibitive and their budget can’t stretch to include high-end technology. The good news is a fully automated brewhouse is well within the reach of the ordinary microbrewery business plan.

It’s Time to Pack the YoLong Brewhouse for Delivery

We enjoyed our time at BrewCon19 so much, is made us sad to pack up our display, but it had somewhere to be delivered. Adam Gaffney, one of the respected beer judges at the event, had ordered the YoLong brewhouse three months ago, and was kind enough to allow us to exhibit it at the Melbourne Convention Centre.

Needless to say, we packed up everything very carefully and ensured all the equipment was safely transported to its new location.

YoLong Visit Brick Land Brewery

Brick Land Brewery offers a very exciting tour of its premises to those guests lucky enough to be invited to see it. The YoLong team were totally inspired to see some of the functions and production methods of such a prominent local brewery. When our group visited, we were given an exceedingly interesting and informative tour by our guide, Brewmaster John.

It was so thrilling to see the YoLong manufactured 440HL & 220HL BBTS working well on site in this brewery. Currently, Brick Lane have a 50HL automatic brewhouse and auto packing line for cans, bottles, and kegs. Brick Lane has risen to become very successful and well-known in Melbourne and beyond.

Brick Lane Brewery Tour

There are 6 x 200 HL fermenters in production at YoLong Industries currently, in anticipation of the Brick Land Brewery expansion in 2 years’ time. That’s something to look forward to in 2021!

YoLong Industries Says Goodbye to Melbourne for Now: See You Again Next Year!

After an enjoyable and productive week in Melbourne, Australia, the YoLong Brewery Equipment team said goodbye to Melbourne with a hearty meal at the Stomping Ground Brewery. What better way to wrap up a working week than good beer, good food, and fantastic people.

Thank you, to BrewCon19, their associated exhibitors, and all our friendly visitors.

To run just about anything in life, is to put in the time and effort needed.

This holds true for everything ranging from things in your personal life, to those related to your profession and career.

All of this is required, as just about everything you do in life, requires active maintenance, to be in top condition and run smoothly.

And this holds true for individuals as well as other entities.

When it comes to industries, this is very much applicable, wherein there is a constant need to take care of the equipment, facility and other aspects of the business process.

In the case of the beer industry, it is pretty much the same case. With a host of different machinery, pipes, containers and dispensers around, along with other paraphernalia that keeps everything together, it is clear that maintenance is something that one cannot ignore, if they are to be running at peak capacity.

Given in the steps below are some of the most important maintenance methods for beer production equipment and accessories.

1. Routine Inspections

This is by far the most important steps that are to be taken up, if the beer making equipment is to be in top order.

That the equipment breaks down, at least in the long run is a given. It is not something that can be contested. At the same time however, it is also not something that can be ascertained with any degree of certainty.

It is here that the routine inspections come into existence. Having someone or a group of individuals take up routine inspection of the way things are running in the facility is a great way to identify problems before the happen, and apply the necessary measures before it is too late.

It is usually done every couple of weeks, with the actual maintenance process being something done at similar intervals. Depending on the intensity of equipment use, inspection frequencies may also vary.

2. Outsourcing the Work

If there is one trend that has emerged in the world of modern business, it is that of outsourcing.

Simply put, outsourcing helps a company to shift a part of its work load to another company, in an effort to focus on its core product or service, while the other company takes care of the less important work.

The tasks that are related to maintaining the equipment, as well as its inspection, can be outsourced to a third party. Also to note here, is that the third party can be the manufacturer of the equipment, or someone authorized by it.

3. Setting up a Fund for Repairs & Maintenance

Spend some time to check up on the balance sheets of any company.

You will notice that there is a specific section in it called repairs and maintenance, or something like it. There is a reason why this section exists.

It is there to ensure that there is a certain amount of funds available, in the case where there is any sudden breakdown of machinery or other such emergency.

And if something like that were to take place, things can be brought back to normal before something negative happens to the company.

4. Sterilizing the Equipment

This is by far one of the most important steps of hygiene when it comes to maintaining beer equipment.

It is important that the beer equipment be properly sterilized, at regular intervals, so as to ensure the right production environment for manufacturing beer.

There are several things that should be sterilized here, including the fermentation tank, connecting pipes, hoses, and taps and so on. And these have to be done in a way that leaves them sterilized, without in any way contaminating the next batch with cleaning solvents and what not used during the sterilization process.

While there is no specific chemical or technique used by brewery, one of the most common ways of cleaning equipment is using bleach. The bleach, when dissolved in cold water, helps to eliminate any and all organic deposits as well as other residue that may exist in the mixture. In addition to this, there are several other chemicals, many of which are patented, which can be used as well.

Regardless of the chemical being used, it is important to ensure that the chemicals are thoroughly washed away with water, before the next beer batch is prepared. As much as these chemicals may be of use, they are also dangerous when ingested.

5. Using Plain Hot Water

Another way of cleaning up the equipment is plain old hot water.

As rudimentary and primitive as it may sound, hot water is a great way to kill just about anything that may be living on the surface of the equipment.

If one is reluctant to use hot water, one could use other sources of heat, such as steam, autoclaves or any other such machinery.

6. Application of Vinegars

There are a host of different chemicals that are currently used for cleaning beer making equipment.

One of the more traditional ones used for cleaning, is somewhat like the one mentioned in the previous point; vinegar.

Vinegars come in a variety of different preparation styles, all of which are made up of acetic acid. It is a great way for one to strip equipment of any deposits that may have accumulated over the years.

If one is interested in using vinegars to clean the surface, it should be noted that the affected layer will have to be soaked in vinegar for a certain period of time, usually a couple of hours, to effectively strip away accumulated deposits.

7. Scrubbing a Humble Brush

This is a great way to get rid of any accumulated mineral or organic deposits, particularly one that is resistant to other materials.

Rubbing with a hard brush can usually eliminate even the toughest of deposits on beer equipment.

8. Maintain a Clean Work Environment

Last but not the least, it is important to ensure that a clean workplace environment is maintained at all times.

This is because quite often, the maintenance issues have more to do with the place where the equipment is housed, rather than the equipment itself.

For example, a good proportion of the dust in machinery comes from the factory, rather than the machinery itself. Likewise, there is a possibility that the equipment may be damaged by rats living in the facility, which tend to be attracted to the ingredients stored in the factory.

In simple words, maintaining a clean working environment helps to ensure that the equipment can avoid much of the issues that it would have otherwise encountered.

In all, these steps and others like it are a great way to ensure that the machinery used by the business, will help out immensely when it comes to maintaining the equipment in working condition.

It may seem like a hassle to go about doing it all, but this is what is required if one has to keep the business running at a capacity of optimum productivity and profitability.

Nano breweries, craft beer breweries are in demand at the local market. These small scale processes of brewing beers are a head start for entrepreneurs. Aside from that, everybody could take advantage of this process either for hobby or passion for beers or for proprietorship entrepreneurs looking for a business that can easily heat the local market. Nano breweries commended a success on the year 2000s where small scale commercial business had to get known at the local market. These small businesses have a very low risk when it comes to investing.

You will not need a tremendous amount of money for its capital, and there are a lot of things that could be done to innovate. This is an excellent opportunity for an entrepreneur like you. For a 5000 barrel of a normal craft brewery yearly, nano breweries are less likely to reach the amount of expected outcome for their annual barrel offshoot for their production. Subsequently, this is also low for an average beer brewery on local emporiums. If you wish to know additional information about the pros and cons of this beer brewing process, you can check out the pros and cons of Nano-Scale brewing by reading below:

Pros of Nano-Scale Brewing

The pros of Nano-Scale brewing are that it can easily be opened or franchised on the local market, for it only needed a small amount of capital unlike other craft breweries wherein the machinery is a must have an also their necessity to obtain specific types of machineries that is needed in the business firm. For people who are planning to open this type of business, ahead starts for entrepreneurs with the same interest for the craft brewery, besides of creating a profit for your leisure interest, you are also branding your work for your innovation to the product.

Also, upon opening a Nano brewery business, it can be a sole proprietorship meaning you are the boss and everything for the business which is a good contract for yourself, the upside of this is that you are solely gaining your profit for your firm. You would not need to employ a considerable amount of workers because it is manageable and can be operated by 3 to 5 persons, depending on the area of how big or small the business is. For it is a local type of business, you can try to innovate the product depending the manufacturers taste of how the beer should be. Since it is only a small business, the risk factor of losing a lot of money is low since you only invested a small amount of capital for the commerce, you can either expand it or maintain it as original as you want it to be. You can also find investors to invest in your business or have branding on your business.

Cons of Nano-Scale Brewing

On the other hand, the cons or the downside of Nano-Scale brewery being a small scale business means a small profit based business. You only have a limited profit for this type of business, although you can try to innovate it. But since you only have a limited workforce, it will result in a limited product you can sell for the market. One of it is that Nanoscale brewery only creates a small distribution of beers, at least one batch at a time. That’s unlike the other types of craft brewery wherein they can make more beers than Nano brewery.

Another is that for this small type of business, competitors are typical. Some already reached their breakeven point. Contrary to this, they are more likely to acquire customers for they already started the business and may have brought back their profit. Also, the labor, some choose to hire less to have fewer expenses for the salary of their workers, in contrary to that, more labor for fewer products. Since you invested a small amount for the types of machinery, it means that some of the processes for brewing the beer needs workforce such as in fermenting. Otherwise, you are planning to invest in the apparatus needed to make it easier and produce more beers. Additionally, in the overhead costs, these expenses such as the license permits, facilities, and other miscellaneous unavoidable expenditures that are needed in opening a business firm.

Bottom line – Is Nano Brewing Advantageous or Not?

Nano Brewing is advantageous, for startup entrepreneurs who have a leisure interest for this type of product, they will be able to do things they want and also to attain profit from it. Since it is a low-risk type of business, investors are less likely to be bankrupted or such for the loss of your starting capital is less than opening a huge scale business. Despite the cons or disadvantages of this type of business, this is needed to be taken advantage of for it is in demand, in a total year people around the globe drink beers with or without occasion and people are always thirsty to try something new for a while.
