How to setup your own kombucha brewing equipment

The main parts of YoLong kombucha production equipment
YoLong kombucha production equipment includes the kombucha brewing skid, first fermentation tank, pressure tank, kombucha filter, bottle filler and washer.
The core equipment- kombucha brewing skid:
- The kettle, normally use the electric to heat. If the size of kettle over the 10bbl, we suggest that use the steam to heat is better.
- The sugar mixing station, we use the special hopper to hold and connect the water to the mixing station, the sugar can be pre-dissolved in the sugar mixing station.
- The water supplier station. It can be set as manual or automatic measure water station
- The sugar dissolve system. When the sugar circulates from the sugar station, it will be drive by the sugar rotating dissolve process. The sugar will dissolve well.
- The tea cage hung in the middle of the kettle. The height of tea cage can be adjust by the brewer. And the accuracy of hole should be discussed with client, such as some client use small tea fannings
Stainless Steel Tea Bag
- The platform for brewer, the ladder and fence.
- The plate heating exchanger. It will use for quickly cooling the hot tea to a room temp, of course, most of kombucha home brewer used to add lots cold water to cool, now the brewer can use the heating exchanger to cool it. The tap water can be used for cold water supply.
- The special electric heating elements
- The pump, pipes, valves, gauge, sensor, etc. The pump will use for offer power of whole system, such as sugar dissolve, circulate, transfer, CIP.
- The control system. The kombucha brewing process is not complex, so the semi-automatic control system is suitable, the auto-temp control system for the kettle, the pump VFD function, the anti-dry protection for heating, the low level aram, and the auto water supply and measure as a option.
Kombucha Fermentation Tank:
The kombucha is left to ferment (primary fermentation) for 1 to 3 weeks as the SCOBY does its work creating the delicious kombucha flavor profile.

“We use YoLong brewhouse (20HL, fully automated), their water station, CIP and all FV’s.”
I had my doubts ordering basically a whole brewery overseas, and was super worried what we were going to get when 5 trucks arrived from the port.
Equipment we got is of superb quality, perfect welds, well polished, packaged and you could see it was taken care of really good. It runs great, in 1 year we had zero (0) problems, except 2 leaks of seals on pumps, but that is normal. Guys at YoLong are also super responsive, we were able to solve everything via Skype. The guys in YoLong is super friendly and had great knowledge of the brewing process and equipment overall. And they’re also super responsive, even during their nighttime if there’s a case of emergency.”
Overall I would recommend YoLong without a second of hesitation.
“We wanted to invest in most quality equipment our budget permitted. Most European manufactures were far beyond our budget, and we had heard horror stories about Chinese manufactures. We were lucky to get a reference for YoLong and contact them, requesting a proposal. After their initial tender, we had a lot of correspondence to customize our equipment in our needs. Communication was easy, and that is rare when dealing with Chinese manufacturers. They were able to provide easy and affordable solutions to our demands. They also refuse to use cheap and unreliable components. We were able to design a robust 4-vessel 20hL brewhouse, capable of producing beers with plato over 25. Although YoLong is not the cheapest, they are a manufacturer that can guarantee reliability and lifetime service.”
“I highly recommend this company as I found them and there team to be very professional to work with and there workmanship to be first class.
I would defiantly buy from them in the future and recommend to anyone that is serious about high quality equipment purchasing.”
“After a year of research, Yolong Brewtech was suggested to us, the service was professional, reliable and comprehensive, the manufacturing quality impeccable. We had found our manufacturer. We will continue to work with Yolong Brewtech for our future projects’”.
“Yolong has been superior, and world class in providing for our brewing industry stainless steel fabrication needs. Their communication, guidance, expertise and support has always been outstanding, and I am often surprised by their generosity and willingness to go above and beyond with creative solutions and after sales support. Working with Yolong feels like a collaborative partnership, and I absolutely recommend their high quality brewery manufactur, and will be using them again in future.”
“We had been planning to upgrade our brewhouse for several years and decided on a skid-mounted, two vessel 13HL system from YoLong. They have been great to work with and we are really excited to take delivery of the brewhouse and get brewing.”
“We ordered a couple of tanks and accessories from Yolong Brewtech were responsive and understood our needs well. Production was completed in a timely manner and quality was good. But most importantly, after sales service was good and they were able to troubleshoot and offer solutions to most problems that we encountered.”
“We are very happy with the professional help we got to customize our brew house. Quick answers and broad understanding of our needs.”
