How do fermentation tanks work for sourdough?
Fermentation tanks combine and ferment yeast with water and flour to feed and maintain your sourdough starter. The tanks slowly bubble oxygen into the yeast, which causes it to grow faster and produce a flavoursome sourdough ready for use in the production of bread. One of the benefits of fermentation tanks is that they ensure consistency of flavour of the sourdough starter, therefore giving you a consistently high quality bread. High-quality bread drives customers to your bakery. So, a fermentation tank would be a beneficial investment.
When are dough fermentation tanks used?
Dough fermentation tanks are used when bakeries are using large quantities of sourdough for a large batch of product. The fermentation tank feeds and maintains the sourdough starter in good condition in readiness for your next sourdough bread production run.
What size fermentation tank do I need?
A fermenter should be at least 20% larger than the quantity of ingredients you plan to ferment. For example, if you intend to ferment a 25-litre batch of water and flour, you should choose a tank with a capacity of at least 30 litres. By choosing a larger tank, you can ensure that you can ferment the full batch of ingredients, not just part of them. It is better to purchase a fermentation tank with too much space than to install one with too little.
