Good Day.
We are in the process of getting our 3BBL brewhouse up and running, and after a few batches we haven't come up with a good way to control our grain dust. We are buying precrushed grain (how long is the shelf life on precrushed? I've heard a few differing opinions), and manually dumping our grain bags in until we fill the Tun. The issue that we are having is when we are dumping our precrushed grain into the tun, the dust kicks back, and coats everything with a think layer of dust. We know this is a huge issue when it comes to bacteria, so we would like to get this under control sooner than later. We have tried fans, vacuums, and were considering using a mist blanket to prevent the dust from coming back up into the brewhouse area.
Before we waste too much more time, does anyone have any advice of how we can cheaply control this?
Thanks in advance,
