Yeast Pitch is a fully automated yeast dosing system for the precise addition of liquid yeast to the wort line . The system measures and controls the yeast addition with high accuracy , ensuring that yeast cells are distributed homogeneously in the wort stream.
 

 
 Application
 
 The Yeast Pitch yeast dosing system doses yeast cells fully automatically and homogeneously into the wort stream .
 

 
 Role in the process in the process
 
 
 
 Fully automated dosing of yeast cells into the wort line
 
 
 Precise measurement and control of feed quantities (standard: accurate flow meters )
 
 
 Homogeneous distribution of yeast cells in the wort stream via a specially designed injector.
 
 

 
 Measurement and control concept (optional, depending on the version)
 
 Depending on the process requirements, the dosage can be additionally ensured via sensors:
 
 1) Differential turbidity measurement (before/after yeast addition)
 
 
 
 Turbidity measurement before and after addition
 
 
 Verified that the correct amount of yeast cells is being supplied.
 
 
 Variations in the base turbidity of the wort are automatically compensated.
 
 
 2) Alternative control strategy: in-line live cell measurement
 
 
 
 Control of the added yeast via in-line live cell measurement (as an alternative to differential turbidity)
 
 

 
 Homogeneous mixing (vortex effect)
 
 
 
 A specifically designed injector mixes yeast and wort.
 
 
 The vortex effect in the injector distributes the yeast cells homogeneously in the wort.
