The brewing of craft beer requires a unique set of skills, processes and specialized equipment. From the smallest home brewing kits to a large commercial brewery, brewing equipment is a significant investment for any interested group. What influences the price of beer equipment? What is the difference between expensive beer equipment and cheaper equipment? The cost of brewery equipment can vary greatly depending on a range of factors. In this article, we will look at the key factors that affect the price of a set of brewery equipment.

First of all, the price of beer equipment depends on the size of the capacity of the equipment, that is, it varies according to the capacity of the equipment. Beer equipment can be divided into the following categories according to its production capacity: home brewing beer equipment mainly consists of small home brewing equipment of 30-100 liters; craft beer equipment for bars and beer houses has a capacity of 100-500 liters; small craft brewery equipment has a capacity of 1-3 tons; small and medium-sized (micro) craft brewery equipment has a capacity of 5-20 tons; and large craft brewery equipment has a capacity of 50 tons or more. All of these pieces of equipment can be referred to as beer equipment, so to determine the market price you need to look specifically at their capacity. The larger the tank capacity, the higher the price.

Different materials of beer cans processing prices vary, because the price of copper and stainless steel raw materials are different, while the thickness of the can wall also affects the overall amount of material used in the equipment and price. The fine degree of processing and process design will also have an impact on the price, the bar use of small beer equipment construction cycle is short, the relative requirements also less, so the processing costs are relatively low.

In addition, the difference in overall configuration can also lead to different prices. For example, the heating system can be electric heating or steam heating, the control system can be ordinary instrument control or PLC control, the refrigeration system can choose independent cooling or centralized cooling, the cleaning system and valves are equipped with different style options, and the fermentation tank can be upper manhole or waist manhole. Choosing auxiliary parts from different brand manufacturers can cause a big price difference in craft beer equipment.

In short, the pricing of a set of beer equipment is influenced by a number of factors, the main ones being production, quantity, configuration and quality. While price is an important consideration, it is equally important to consider the long-term costs and benefits of investing in quality equipment.
