Beer Fermenter

This simulator models lager beer fermentation in an ideally mixed batch reactor with temperature control via a cooling jacket and proportional controller. Explore how reactor temperature set points affect yeast growth, sugar consumption, ethanol production, and thermal behavior over fermentation time.
