The Sustainable Energy Choice for Wineries & Breweries

Propane is a valuable clean energy heating source for many industries and commercial services, including wineries and breweries. It is a non-poisonous, non-toxic fossil fuel that doesn’t contaminate groundwater or soil, making it safe to use anywhere. Propane burns cleaner and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than other energy sources due to its high heat efficiency.

Using Propane to Heat Your Winery or Brewery

Propane is often used for heating and cooling buildings. You can use it to control the temperature of your winery or brewery when you have visitors. However, there are several other ways you can put propane to good use.

When you live in a warm climate, early spring after the last hard freeze is the perfect time to plant grapevines and prepare your vineyard for the wine-making process. However, while temperatures begin to rise during the spring, a late frost may occur.

This late freeze can halt your cultivation process and damage your crops. Young vines are vulnerable to frost, so you must keep their temperature consistent to avoid losing the crop.

You can use propane to protect your crops against a late frost. A propane-powered wind machine will disturb the cold air surrounding the crops. The heat content of propane combined with the wind machines creates warm air retention in the crop zone, saving your crops from frost and freezing. Your successful harvest will allow your winery or brewery to prosper as you continue making wine for the upcoming season.

Breweries can also use propane to make beer. One of the main ingredients for beer is barley. Barley must be completely dry before you use it in beermaking. Farmers can efficiently dry their crops, including barley, using propane. This fuel is reliable, environmentally friendly and won’t contaminate your barley.

You can also use propane during the beer brewing process. This fuel can provide the heat you need to mash, sparge and boil the ingredients you use in your beer. Heat is a vital part of creating beer, so it’s best to use a reliable and efficient source like propane.
