ESAU & HUEBER GmbH - A Bühler Group Company products

Good fermentation requires yeast in top condition and the correct aeration of wort and yeast before pitching. The TURBO AIR  two-component nozzle has proven its use in many projects and corresponds to the latest state of technology for such applications.

ESAU & HUEBER provides the TURBO CARBO system for the carbonisation of beverages and correction of the CO2-content, for example after blending.

Fermentation tanks are where the magic happens. It is important to have a precisely built vessel to condition your beer as it ferments.

Carlsberg flasks are used for yeast propagation coming out of the laboratory. The design of Carlsberg flasks complies with the strict hygienic requirements for yeast propagation and they are easy to operate and clean and can be autoclaved. The connections and fittings are hygienic and have no dead space. Sterile sampling is possible as well as sterile and stress-free drainage possible using a drain valve and sterile air application.

High-quality production of beer requires professional yeast management, even on a small scale. The MICRO PROP system by ESAU & HUEBER provides small breweries with an in-house supply of strongly fermenting, high-vitality yeast. The removable quantity can be adapted to the production requirements by adjusting the propagation time, temperature, aeration volume / aeration intervals for the start cells and the residual cells in the propagator. Intense aeration ensures optimum yeast growth. The construction strictly follows the specifications for hygienic design and ensures biological safety, so that the brewery always has a reliable supply of fresh propagation yeast. The system is suitable for small breweries as well as for larger breweries to handle the transfer from yeast propagation in a laboratory to industrial-scale propagation.

With the CONTI PROP, the yeast is constantly in the respiration phase during propagation. This guarantees not only optimum utilization of energy from the wort sugars provided but also synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and sterols. These substances are a vital part of effective mass transfer between the yeast and the wort surrounding the cells. With the CONTI PROP you achieve high vitality and a homogeneous propagation yeast and finally optimize fermentation times and rapid degradation of fermentation by-products.

The aerobic FERMEX system developed by ESAU & HUEBER is capable of vitalizing the harvesting yeast. CO² stored in the yeast cells is gently removed after the yeast harvest. Before pitching, the propagation phase of the operating yeast is activated by adding fresh wort as a nutrient substrate and by more aeration of the yeast suspension. This has a positive effect on the vitality and fermentation strength of the pitching yeast.The vitalization system is made up of one or more conventional yeast tanks, which can be supplemented with an external transfer and aeration unit, a temperature controller and a tank content measurement system.
