Thank you for the good tip... i do the same in the brewery. May I add a small point; the very first thing is to make sure to release the pressure before touching the manway for safety reasons (talking from experience) ;-)

Or you probably can't notice the damage because you've never had beer with virtually 0 HSA, thus believe it doesn't matter. The thing is that the difference between none and a little is HUGE, and the difference between a little and some more is eh.

How do you right size a brew house to account for variable labor cost versus excess capital expenditure. I guess the question is, is it better to have a bigger brew house that would have more down time or the smaller brewhouse that is in more constant use to fill the tanks, but more labor. I’m pretty sure in this equation, it’s the latter.
@RockstarBrewer12 күн бұрын
Wort production (and the labour associated with it) is rarely a bottleneck in a brewery. Small(er) Brewhouse and big tanks will make you more money. You definitely don't want an asset sitting idle.

It also really helps to know everything that the beer touches. Making sure to clean even the tiniest little valves involved. As well as diligently cleaning the outside and immediate area. Cleaning is the more important job over the actual production work.

So if i brew 500L a day and it takes 2days to fill one 1000L fermenter. Can i do it safely without inserting co2 in the empty space, and without being infected by oxygen? (I already do this but i would love to have your opinion on it)
@RockstarBrewer2 ай бұрын
Absolutely. Oxygen isn't a risk at the start of fermentation so no need to purge the head space of the tank with CO2 between brews. In fact, if fermentation has kicked off between the first and 2nd brew then the yeast with l will create their own CO2. Thanks for watching! 🍻

It depends upon the brewery, the measurement instruments available, the legal requirements for things like ABV and the skill of the brewer. Generally 0.002 SG or 0.3 Plato is a good place to start.

I use a slightly different method that doesn't require any dilution. I take gravity readings every 15 minutes during the boil which equates to about 2 gravity points. So in a 60 minute boil I check the gravity 4 times and if my TG is low I just how much time it will take to get to my TG.

physically clean removes oils and soil. chemically clean removes traces of cleaning solutions. Santistised, the standard most brewers achieve in practice outside of yeast propgation is the standard of reducing bacterial numbers to a suffiencently low levels that they do not affect beer production/ packaging or BBE's. Sanitising is the chemical or heat based reduction of CFU's to zero for all bacteria, virus' and molds/spores to nothing.

What constitutes the "middle bit"? I'm curious to hear more about that! I assume its the part between when the boil finishes and when it's considered finished in the brite tank, but I'm not sure.
@RockstarBrewer4 ай бұрын
The “middle bit” is fermentation and maturation. Lots of brewers focus on brew day and the finished beer but not how they get there in sufficient detail. If you don’t make a plan for how fermentation, maturation and dry hopping then it’s impossible to brew beer consistently. Do you document your entire process?

@vincelafore42814 ай бұрын
Just to clarify, you are adding more malt to get your preboil gravity to match your original gravity so you in essence malty flavor will be the same after topping off? Am I thinking right?

No. On brew day, the 3 target metrics are OG, wort pH and wort temperature. That's really all there is to it. This truck focuses on your og.
@vincelafore42814 ай бұрын
Right. Adding enough malt in the mash to get to what would be your OG. Boing off makes it higher, then you top off with water to reach you OG so in essence your wort will not be less malty when you top off and reach your OG. Am I still missing what you are doing and try to achieve?

So, it’s about the amount of head pressure and surface area under the head space that determines rate of carbonation. What is the roll of temperature? And why does the guy on the football team that kicks the ball down the field get beer?
@RockstarBrewer4 ай бұрын
Temperature forms part of what's called "Henry's Coefficient" under Henry's Law. It's a variable that affects how readily a gas dissolves into a liquid. The type of liquid is also part of Henry's Coefficient. Does CO2 readily dissolve into, say, engine oil? There are heaps of variables under Henry's Law. Thanks for watching!
