Water Bath & Fermentation

A water-jacketed tank holds small batches at a controlled temperature for mixing or fermentation before later tests.

How it works

Water circulates through the tank jacket to heat or cool the batch while a mixer stirs the ingredients. The documented setups use different tank sizes and mixer blades for different recipes.

Trials show how ingredients dissolve, spread through the liquid, or respond to temperature changes before further processing. Documented projects also use this setup to test yogurt fermentation.
