ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling the fermentation of moromi mash comprises a sampling mechanism for sampling a portion of the prescribed amount of moromi mash stored in at least one storage tank, and an automatic multiple analyzer for receiving the portion of the prescribed amount of moromi mash from the sampling mechanism and simultaneously analyzing the concentrations of at least two ingredients of the sampled portion of the moromi mash. The apparatus also includes at least one control tank operatively communicating with the storage tank for storing at least one controlling element and supplying the controlling element to the moromi mash in the storage tank, control valves operatively coupled between the control tank and the storage tank for controlling the amount of the controlling element to be supplied to the moromi mash in the storage tank, and a controller for operating the control valves according to analytic results from the automatic multiple analyzer thereby to add the controlling element to the moromi wash in the storage tank to adjust the concentrations of the at least two ingredients of the prescribed amount of moromi mash to target values. The controller periodically actuates the sampling mechanism and the automatic analyzer and adds the controlling element to the moromi mash during the fermentation period thereof.
