Tiivistelmä
Due to nowadays’ interest in producing high-quality artisan beer, the aim of this project is to set up an artisan microbrewery as a space attached to a bar or a house in order to make beer (100 l every three weeks).
This project studies the raw materials and processes of making beer. It also specifies the necessary equipment to start an artisan microbrewery, capable of producing 100 l of beer every three weeks. In addition, this project estimates the space this microbrewery needs, but most importantly, it studies how the microbrewery can be energy neutral, using a water collection and treatment system, and a solar thermal photovoltaic panels system.
During the project, two types of beer are produced in order to have a broader knowledge of the process and to estimate the necessary amounts of ingredients needed in an artisan microbrewery. The project was done using the BeerSmith software.
This project could be implemented in any bar or home that has the required space and, as it has to be energy neutral, the microbrewery should be located in a place with a Mediterranean climate.
