Large plastic bottles for a water dispenser A 25 L (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 US gal) glass carboy acting as a fermentation vessel for beer. It is fitted with a fermentation lock. A Bulgarian demijohn (damadzhana) A carboy, also known as a demijohn or a lady jeanne, is a rigid container with a typical capacity of 4 to 60 litres (1 to 16 US gal).
Some homebrewers use the 'no-chill' approach. It is a water-conserving technique, depending on the ambient temperature being lower to cool the hot wort. After the boil the hot wort is racked into a fitting fermenter. After placing the cap or the lid, the fermenter is tumbled slightly to let the hot wort sanitise all internal surfaces.
The practical purpose of the Union system is to allow excess barm (yeast foam) to be expelled from the casks without leaving excessive amounts of head space within the casks; the system was quickly refined to separate any expelled beer from the wasted yeast, allowing it to flow back into the casks to continue fermentation.
A fermentation lock or fermentation airlock is a device used in beer brewing and wine making that allows carbon dioxide released during fermentation to escape the fermenter, while not allowing air to enter the fermenter, thus avoiding oxidation. There are two main designs for the fermentation lock. These designs work when half filled with water.
Burton Union fermentation system, Coors Visitor Centre. The enzymes used in the reaction are provided by the mold Rhizopus nigricans. [11] Just as it is commonly known, alcohol of all types and brands are also produced by way of fermentation and distillation. Moonshine is a classic example of how this is carried out. Finally, foods such as ...
Industrial fermentation is the intentional use of fermentation in manufacturing processes. In addition to the mass production of fermented foods and drinks, industrial fermentation has widespread applications in chemical industry.
[13] [14] The ethanol is the intoxicating agent in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer and liquor. [15] Fermentation of feedstocks, including sugarcane , maize , and sugar beets , produces ethanol that is added to gasoline . [ 16 ]
Hindgut fermenters generally have a cecum and large intestine that are much larger and more complex than those of a foregut or midgut fermenter. [5] Research on small cecum fermenters such as flying squirrels, rabbits and lemurs has revealed these mammals to have a GI tract about 10-13 times the length of their body. [6]
