Greetings all,
Sad news from my little brewpub. After an 18 hr power outage, our chiller was tripping the breaker everytime we tried to turn it on. We found two burnt fuses & replaced those to no avail. We called some repair guys and have found out the transformer is also burnt. The tank temperatures are between 42-48 degrees Fahrenheit at this moment. It is the middle of the summer here so who knows how warm they could be by tomorrow. I guess my question is if any one knows at up to what temperatures the beers will still be salvageable? Im sure it depends on a number of factors regarding beer style.....alcohol %, hop quantity, etc.....No choice, but wait and get them cold as soon as possible and see how they taste from there.....right now we are at approximately 25 hrs without the chiller running.....anyone else have a similar experience that ended well that might put my mind at ease?
