Abstract:
An agitation tank for storing a yeast solution to be supplied to a fermentation tank for fermenting fermented foodstuffs such as beer, equipped with low shear type agitation blades; even when the blades are rotated at a low speed, they can mix substantially uniformly the content, and this mixing/agitation effect is by far greater than that by conventional yeast fermentation tanks equipped with inclined paddles, etc. Because the excellent agitation effect can be obtained at a low speed, the tank can provide such effects that the yeast is not damaged nor destroyed and its biological activity is not lowered. A method of producing fermented foodstuffs such as beer using the agitation tank.
