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.

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.
