We did a transfer of 7 barrels recently through our coldroom wall to 2 3.5 barrel brites and it took forever. We admittedly are new and working out a few kinks but basically wanted to check if we are over doing it.
Between batches this last time we broke every part of the brite, cleaned it, put it back, ran PBW through it for 20 minutes, rinsed 3 times with water. Next day, dropped, took about 4 hours to collect yeast, prep and sanitize transfer lines, sanitize tanks, drop, and clean/rinse FV.
Do you normally clean brites between transfers, or just run a bit of sanitizer through? Keep in mind these are different batches so we aren't dropping IPA onto IPA.
I have a feeling we are overdoing it a bit.
Side question, we do clean our fermenters between every batch but I consider this a necessity.
