According to the wine category, the brewing equipment can be divided into white wine equipment, beer equipment, wine equipment, yellow wine equipment and so on. According to the brewing principle, the brewing equipment can be divided into fermentation equipment, brewing equipment and distillation equipment as well as post-packaging filling equipment.
According to the material, the brewing equipment can be divided into wood brewing equipment, brick mixing equipment, stainless steel brewing equipment, aluminum brewing equipment, tin wine making equipment and so on.
Taking liquor equipment as an example, wood and brick mixing are ancient traditional brewing equipment, which have been eliminated because of steam leakage, large volume, difficulty in migration, and low alcohol yield. Tin-based brewing equipment is difficult to popularize due to its high price. Therefore, most of the popular brewing equipment on the market today are aluminum equipment and stainless steel equipment. So is the space better for aluminum or stainless steel? The answer to the China Wine Knowledge Network is that each has its own benefits. There is no best, only the most suitable, depending on your situation.
Aluminum brewing equipment still occupies a large share of the market, and aluminum density is small, so aluminum brewing equipment is usually light and easy to handle. Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, so the aluminum brewing equipment has high thermal efficiency, saves fuel, and has fast wine and high liquor yield. The cost of aluminum is low, so the price of aluminum brewing equipment is relatively cheaper and easy to be recognized by consumers. However, because the aluminum material will leave a relatively obvious weld bead during welding, the aluminum brewing equipment generally looks slightly rougher, and the overall aesthetics of the aluminum brewing equipment is greatly reduced due to the low gloss of the aluminum. There is a saying in the industry that aluminum is harmful to humans, so aluminum brewing equipment is also harmful to the body. In fact, this argument cannot withstand scrutiny. First, it is not aluminum, but aluminum ions that are harmful to the human body. Only under acidic conditions can aluminum be converted into aluminum ions, and the whole liquor distillation process can be said to be a neutral environment. Secondly, aluminum is easily oxidized by air to form a dense aluminum oxide film on its surface under normal temperature conditions. Since the properties of aluminum oxide are extremely stable, it can prevent further chemical reaction with aluminum. In addition, aluminum oxide is also a "famous" refractory material that can withstand several thousand degrees of high temperature, and the liquor distillation process can only reach 100 degrees due to the presence of water. Therefore, the claim that aluminum equipment is harmful to the body is untenable. For the wine brewing workshop or the users of the winery, the China Wine Knowledge Network recommends the selection of aluminum brewing equipment. After all, the performance is the first, and the profit is the last word.
Another major player in the brewing equipment market is the stainless steel brewing equipment. Stainless steel brewing equipment has high gloss, hard wear resistance, almost no weld bead after polishing, beautiful and beautiful, so it is favored by consumers. However, the shortcomings of stainless steel brewing equipment can not be ignored, first of all in terms of performance. Stainless steel has poor thermal conductivity and is significantly worse than aluminum. Therefore, the rate of wine is low and fuel is consumed. Secondly, the cost of stainless steel is high, and the price of general stainless steel brewing equipment is higher than that of the same type of aluminum brewing equipment. In general, the performance of pure stainless steel equipment on the market is extremely poor, so it is best not to choose. The best brewing equipment is made of aluminum condenser (experienced by the fast heat conduction of aluminum), and the barrel is made of stainless steel (taking advantage of the wear-resistant appearance of stainless steel).
Finally, consumers are advised to consider their actual situation when purchasing brewing equipment. Do you like more performance or prefer more beautiful, or prefer lower prices, which vary from person to person. In short, there is no absolutely good equipment, no absolute poor equipment, only the equipment that suits you and is not suitable for you.
