While running my cleaning cycles, I notice beutiful hop aromas in my heat exchanger and my bright beer tanks which do not seem to transfer into the beer.
I don't think this is simply a case of "add more hops" or "dry hop" because I've already done both. The way I see it, I'm somehow losing aroma:
1. Between the kettle and the fermenter, and
2. In the bright tank during dispense.
I may be able to convince the brewpub owners of a hopback, but if I'm losing aroma in the exchanger, it wouldn't matter.
As for the dispense end, I push the beer from grundies to the tower with 1/2 nitro and 1/2 co2 - @ 22psi. It takes about a month to go through 800 liters of beer.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for the ideas. Follow the link for a look at the brewery.
