The Microbrewery movement in Australia
Beer is the world's most popular alcoholic beverage, but also one of the oldest. Humans have been brewing - and drinking - it for thousands of years.
One of the reasons it has endured all this time is that you don't require many ingredients to produce it. All you need is water, a source of starcg (with barley being the most popular), yeast and then a flavour-providing ingredient, such as hops. That is why people as far back as 6,000 BC were able to produce it.
Nowadays, modern breweries use state-of-the-art technology and sophisticated processes to produce this tasty beverage, and while the main ingredients remain the same, you now also need compressed air and nitrogen (N2).
The microbrewery movement in Australia began gaining momentum in the early 2000s. Australians have developed a sophisticated palate for beer, seeking out new and interesting flavours. Microbreweries cater to this demand by offering a diverse range of beer styles, from hoppy IPAs and rich stouts to refreshing lagers and experimental brews. Today, Australian microbrewery craft beers are popular right across the world. As the movement continues to grow, microbreweries will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the future of the Australian beer industry.
Improve the shelf life of your beer!
Improve the quality and shelf life of your beer with our solutions for the brewery industry. It all starts with our ZT & SF oil-free air compressor technologies. Our SF range is the ideal solution for microbreweries as it is reliable, efficient and certified Class 0 oil-free air.
Our ZT range is also certified Class 0 oil-free air and comes as a fixed speed or variable speed drive option. The variable speed option can further maximise efficiency and reduce your total cost of ownership.
Remove moisture from the air
You can integrate the above compressed air sources with a desiccant dryer to help save space. Our high-quality dryers remove moisture from the air to protect your beer and equipment from damage. Dryers will prevent humidity and condensation from getting into the various brewery processes and prevent end-product contamination.
Eliminate the presence of oxygen
The presence of oxygen in your beer could affect its quality and test. Nitrogen is used extensively throughout the beer brewing process, particularly in applications with direct contact with the product. That is why our premium nitrogen generator provides the perfect solution for your processes needing Nitrogen for product storage, filling head space and bottling craft beer. Our NGP+ is an energy efficient on-site nitrogen production that will produce nitrogen to your required flow-rate, purity and pressure. The NGP+ range has the lowest air factors in the industry, ranging from 1.8 to 5.4, depending on the N2 purity generated.
Integrate with existing system
You can integrate your compressed air and nitrogen solutions with your existing compressed air source. This can help to make your existing compressed air and/or nitrogen generation completely oil-free.
