Carbonation for craft breweries and brewpubs
Ready when the packaging line is ready: repeatable overnight carbonation, less regulator chasing, and steadier tank pressure through the run.
The process decision
Target volumes change with beer style, brite tank schedules are tight, and canning and bottling performance is highly sensitive to product temperature and pressure.
Most of the work happens in the brite tank between transfer and packaging, which is exactly where manual regulator changes and occasional readings create the most uncertainty.
Where it goes wrong
- Low carbonation at packaging time delays the run and weakens the beer.
- Over-carbonation causes breakout and short fills at the filler.
- Batch-to-batch variation depends on who ran the tank.
- Overnight uncertainty means testing and adjusting first thing in the morning.
- Tank pressure drops as the tank empties, so late cans behave differently.
A FizzWizz workflow
- Transfer chilled beer to the brite tank and enter the batch, volume and target volumes.
- Let FizzWizz carbonate overnight toward the calculated endpoint.
- Confirm carbonation with a calibrated meter in the morning.
- Switch to packaging mode so head pressure holds as the tank empties.
Compatibility checklist
- A pressure-rated tank with suitable relief protection.
- A carbonation stone sized for the vessel.
- A CIP arm and a thermowell, or ports for them.
- Beverage-grade CO2, leak-checked from cylinder to tank.
- Your canning or bottling line details.
FizzWizz does not chill beer, balance product lines, tune a filler or fix a warm line. It manages carbonation and tank pressure; the line still needs its own setup.
