We have compiled a list of the most current draft beer equipment, which is sure to be needed for the start:
1. Yeast brink

3. Keg
These are smaller containers that are needed for the storage and transportation of beer. Generally, breweries use kegs with a capacity of ⅙, 1\4 or 1\2 barrels.
4. Kegerator
Refrigeration equipment which is ideal for beer storage in kegs. They vary in size and style from small, compact units with one beer tower to large commercial 96-inch kegerators.
5. Cooling system
The best option is to use a glycol cooling system. It provides faster and more accurate cooling, prevents wort caramelization, suppresses bacterial growth, and maintains stable product temperature during storage, transportation, and dispensing.
6. CO2 or Nitrogen gas tanks
Cylinders with gas are necessary to pump beer from the keg to the glass. Gas is also used to properly cool and store the product.
For the correct operation of this equipment, regulators are needed. They help control the pressure at the outlet of the cylinder.

8. Keg washer
Keg washers are an essential piece of equipment for craft brewers. They are used to quickly and thoroughly clean kegs, making them ready for filling or for storage. This ensures that beer remains fresh and flavors don’t mix, saving both time and money when it comes to production.
Keg washers come in various sizes and configurations, depending on the size of the brewery and the number of kegs needing to be cleaned. Generally speaking, a keg washer consists of a spray arm with multiple nozzles that deliver high pressure cleaning solution aimed at every corner of a keg while rinsing with water afterwards.
