Achieve optimal fermentation and ageing in your wine cellar or brewery

Humidity can be a major problem in active breweries and basement-level wine cellars. From mould-contaminated barrels and pungent smells, to waterlogged labels and corroded machinery – damp air can spoil the quality, taste and value of your beer products and wine collections.

That’s why many winemakers, brewers and collectors rely on dehumidifiers for more consistent fermentation, wine bottle ageing and brewery equipment protection. When you buy from the European leaders in food and beverage climate control, you create the best possible climate conditions for your drinks – all while minimising energy consumption.

Humidity control and drying for wine cellars and breweries: FAQs

Why is humidity control important for wine cellars and wine storage?

Humidity control in wine cellars is important, especially as these are typically housed in very humid locations:

  • Lower humidity levels allow red wines, white wines and other variants to ferment and mature in the best possible way

  • Dry air helps prevent wine labels from developing mould or peeling off over time

  • Overly humid air can cause wine corks to decay and swell, potentially allowing air to seep into bottles and spoil the wine

  • Condensation can allow mould, mildew and bacterial growth on barrels, walls and ceilings, risking the quality of wine and the health of people

  • Humidity control supports cellar air quality, helping prevent musty odours from compromising the taste and aroma of wine

  • Puddles can form on the floor of cellars due to improper humidity control, creating slip hazards

Above all, humidity control is crucial for quality wine ageing and production year-round, and can significantly reduce maintenance costs within your cellars and wine storage areas.

For tailored advice on choosing the right dehumidification system for your wine cellars, talk to our experts about your situation.

Why is humidity control important for breweries?

In breweries, consistent humidity control is vital to the quality of your beverages, the safety of your personnel and the longevity of your equipment:

  • Dehumidifiers help maintain the ideal fermentation humidity for your beverages, resulting in the best possible look and taste

  • Humidity control systems restrict mould, mildew and bacterial growth, improving brewing facility hygiene and reducing spoilage

  • Dry air is important for the long-term storage of hops, grains and malt for your beer and spirit production

  • Humidity control protects fermenters, stainless steel tanks, bottling machinery and more from corrosion, prolonging the life of your equipment and reducing maintenance costs

  • Dehumidifiers also stop rust on caps or labels peeling off beer or spirit bottles, ensuring that your packaging materials are stored in an optimal environment

  • Humidity control creates a more comfortable, healthy working environment for your personnel, improving their concentration and productivity

Speak to our experts for bespoke advice on the ideal solution for your brewing facilities.

What is the ideal humidity level for a wine cellar?

While the ideal relative humidity (RH) level for your wine cellar will depend on the type of wine you produce and store, the safe range is between 50% and 70% RH. This range helps prevent corks from drying out and restricts the growth of mould or mildew, ensuring that your wine cabinets remain in optimal condition for bottle ageing.

What types of dehumidifiers are best suited for the brewing process?

Condensation dehumidifiers and industrial drying units are best suited for climate control during the brewing process.

Condensation dehumidifiers force humid air over a cold surface, collecting moisture and exhausting warm, dry air. As such, this kind of equipment is highly efficient and economical, making it suitable for most brewing environments.

For impartial advice when selecting the right dehumidifier for your wine cellar or brewery, talk to our specialists.

Can humidity control improve the longevity of brewing equipment?

Yes. Humidity control units capture moisture from the air, stopping it from condensing on your brewing equipment. This prevents rust, corrosion and mould growth on your machinery, which can eat away at its condition, performance and overall longevity.

The right moisture management technology can extend the lifespan of your brewing equipment, minimise the frequency parts are replaced, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Is it necessary to use a dehumidifier in a wine cellar?

While not strictly essential, a dehumidifier helps maintain the ideal humidity range in your wine cellar, creating the best possible conditions for your wines to ferment and age until they are ready to be sold or consumed.

Are your dehumidifiers for wine cellars and breweries energy efficient?

Yes. At Dantherm Group, the superior energy efficiency of our dehumidification systems is something we work hard to achieve. By prioritising high-quality components, European engineering and energy-saving systems, we enable our customers to maintain ideal humidity levels in their wine cellars and breweries with minimal energy costs.

How do I select the right wine cellar dehumidifier for my needs?

Selecting the right wine cellar dehumidifier will depend on a variety of factors, including:

  • The size and layout of your wine cellar

  • The number of barrels, bottles and other items stored in your cellar

  • The age and durability of your items

  • The ambient climate around your cellar
