I know everyone is super cautious with their cleaning regiment on fermenters in order to prevent imploded tanks, but here is a word of caution that you don’t need chemicals to get the same reaction.
We were doing some cleaning end of day yesterday, I boiled some water in the hlt to pump through heat exchanger. End of the day there was 40-50 gal left in our 3bbl hlt. Turn off the heat, to home for the night.
Next morning come into the brewery to an imploded hlt. I had clamped the lid on to keep humidity down in the building, and the cooling air/water in the hlt caused the tank to implode.
Would have never, ever thought this was possible, yet here we are. Hope everyone else’s Friday works out a little better.
