Humidity control and drying for wine cellars and 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
