Breweries are featured in Heavy Metal.
It was introduce in the setting at St. Louis, where was known as America's brewing capital with dozen breweries including Anheuser-Busch, it once quenched the thirst of a nation & the world with 3 million kegs worth of beer continue to ferment in several thousand massive steel vats. Marc Gottfried shows a 30-barrel fermentation tank, which holds 60 kegs of beer and inside it floats towards the top and it was made of yeast, hot particles, protein, and nitrogen. Inside the tanks, yeast is used to turn sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide is given as a byproduct creating increasing pressure in the tank.
The fermentation tanks explode.
The event begins when Marc Gottfried said the fermentation would be as normal one day but as soon as electricity failed, the cooling will failed and the tanks would begin to rise in temperature. He continues that in a St. Louis summer, temperatures can rise over 100 degrees and the heat make the fermentations more violent. The automatic safety release valves prevent pressure from getting to high in the tank, but fermentation also creates krausen, a meringue-like residue which rises to the top of the tank. The extra heat have triples the amount of krausen rising to the top of tank, clogging the pressure release valve. Marc Gottfried stated the catastrophic failure would be over the course of 36 hours.
In that segment, the fermentation tanks have cause violent eruptions blasting the holes in roofs and unleashing the intoxicating contents in golden flows.
