The development of single tanks for both fermentation and maturation is reviewed. The potential operational advantages and product quality improvement for this are identified. The development of a particular system using a yeast precipitant to achieve a reliable order of clarification for both ale and lager to optimise the process advantages of single tank operation is described. Plant cost analysis and operational evaluation of this system compared with two vessel practice confirm the greater economy and improved product quality of the former.
