A CCT, or cylindrical-conical tank, is a container used to ferment beer. It has a cone shape with a rounded bottom, which makes it easier to collect yeast sediment. CCTs are usually made of stainless steel or plastic.

CCTs are used in both industrial brewing and home brewing .

In industrial brewing:

• Large breweries:  use stainless steel CCT with a volume of 1000 to 3500 hectoliters.
• Medium and small breweries:  also use CCT, but in smaller sizes.

Advantages of using CCT in home brewing:

• Easy to clean and disinfect.
• Provides better control of fermentation temperature.
• Produces beer with a cleaner taste.
• Can be used for re-fermentation of beer.
• Allows you to save space.

If you want to improve the quality of your beer, then using CCT is a great option.

Here are some tips for using CCT in home brewing:

• Select the appropriate size CCT.  For home brewing, CCTs with a volume of 20 to 60 liters are usually used.
• Clean and disinfect the CCT before use.
• Fill the CCT with wort at the desired temperature.
• Add yeast to the wort and let the beer ferment for the desired time.
• After fermentation, transfer the beer to another container for post-fermentation.
• Clean and disinfect the CCT after each use.

Additional tips:

• Use a thermometer to monitor fermentation temperature.
• Take a sample of the beer during fermentation to check its taste and aroma.
• Be careful when pumping the beer to avoid agitating the yeast sediment.

Using a CCT may seem complicated, but it really isn't. With a little practice, you can easily use CCT to brew delicious beer.
