The Right Climate in Your Brewery—Protected Products, Lower Energy Costs, and a Stable Process

We help you keep humidity under control throughout your facility, from the fermentation cellar to the finished goods warehouse.

Breweries

We know the brewery's environment from the inside

Breweries combine cold process zones, high-pressure cleaning, and large temperature fluctuations. We have worked with breweries in several countries and see the same challenges recurring, regardless of size.
  • Condensation forms on cold fermentation tanks and vats, causing corrosion and posing hygiene risks.
  • High humidity in basements and storage rooms causes mold to grow on tanks, walls, and ceilings.
  • Measuring instruments in the tank room stop functioning properly when the relative humidity exceeds 80%.
  • Moisture in finished goods warehouses causes label damage and quality issues with packaged products.
  • Existing dehumidification solutions consume enormous amounts of energy without solving the underlying problem.

Here's what NEXT can do for your brewery

Dry air around cold tanks, without condensation or corrosion

Fermentation tanks and BBT tanks are maintained at 2–15°C. When humidity is not controlled, condensation forms on the steel surfaces, which accelerates corrosion and creates hygiene risks. NEXT continuously monitors the dew point and keeps the air below the critical threshold so that the tank surfaces remain dry.

Up to 85% lower energy consumption

Older dehumidification solutions in breweries are often significantly oversized. NEXT removes moisture at a rate of approximately 1 kWh per kg of water removed. In documented installations, this has resulted in up to 85% lower energy consumption compared to existing solutions. The energy released during the process is reused internally rather than being wasted.

A stable climate from the fermentation cellar to the block storage area

Uncontrolled humidity in a brewery is evident on the walls, in the equipment, and on the products. At a German brewery with high quality standards, the humidity level in the fermentation cellars varied between 60–95% RH depending on the weather and the cleaning schedule. With NEXT, the climate was stabilized at 55–65% RH, and since the installation, the facility has not had a single instance of mold growth.

Here's how NEXT works

There is energy to be saved—how much depends on your facility

Here’s an example: A global brewery in Spain reduced power consumption in its BBT hall from 400 kW to less than 60 kW using three NEXT units. In the fermentation hall, consumption was reduced from 800 kW to less than 90 kW using four units.

See what that would mean for your facility.
