  • Brewery Hose Maintenance, Inspection, and Sanitation.

    Quite some time ago I started to keep a collection of pieces of damaged brewery hose. I do this for the sake of training brewers, and cellar folks. I recently made a video to share this with the world. Please give it a watch, and tell me what you think.

    The most useful piece of kit I've bought for hose inspection is a cheap endoscope. They are all over FleaBay, from $5 up. Available to work with cell phones (IOS or Andy) or laptops. Mine is 5 meters long, so I can inspect the entire length of a 30 foot hose.

    Liner separation is a big worry. It can be invisible and almost impossible to detect without inspecting the inside of a hose. A blister can store critters and protect them from CIP.

    Simply replacing the hoses every 3 years or so is a good precaution, too, but Murphy is always on the job.
