We are a small brewery using two 7 barrel conical; fermenters. Our process has been to ferment, cool, dump yeast, condition and carbonate all in the same tank. What we have noticed is that when we cool there is often a vacuum created in the tank from the cooling process. Has anyone else experienced this? I have spoken to a couple of people who have told me it was imposssible. Obviously not the case. How can this be prevented?
My other question is if during the conditioning process anyone has ever tried a gentle circulation ( gentle whirlpool) in the tanks to remove any yeast that may be clinging to the sides of the tank, helping the beer drop brighter?
