We currently make our cream soda and rootbeer by doping individual Hoff-Stevens and kegging with carbonated sugar water.
Does anyone have experience making bulk soda in a bright tank? I can't dedicate a tank to soda making, so I'm considering dedicating a set of gaskets and valves. My belief is that the stainless will come clean with CIP'ing so the risk of tainting and flavor carry over comes from the rubber and plastic material.
I'm not about to do something I'll regret am I?
Also any thoughts about oxygen and soda? We now heat an entire batch to make our sugar water. I'd like to make a smaller, concentrated batch (say 30-50% of the present volume) and dilute with carbon filtered tap water enroute to the bright. Is the oxygen content of the tap water something to be concerned about? Could it be addressed with ascorbic acid?
One thing I still need to do is talk to our extract distributor.
Thanks a bunch.
