Hey-all,
I've had some issue with my caustic cleaning cycle on our CCV's foaming in less than a few minutes under krausen heavy loads. No problem with our lagers but our ales are a pain in the butt.
We've bought some chelating agent and that's helped, but I'm worried about head retention. What do you use?
We bought a low-foaming caustic(missing a surfactant or two?) and that doesn't help at all. Could it be our pump? We use cold water for the caustic, could it be that?
