So, we've recently increased our brewhouse and fermentor sizes, but our bottling line is the same. Now our bottling time will go from 2.5 hours to possibly between 6-10 hours. We keep our bottling tank (a fermentor) around 1 bar to push the beer to the bottling machine. I know over time the beer will begin to pick up CO2. I'm assuming every so often I would need to de-pressurize the tank, re-mix it, and re-pressurize. I guess my question is how often should I do this? After every two hours, every three hours, four …?
I know there's also the problem of the yeast settling out over time too, which is why I re-mix by putting CO2 up through the bottom.
Any thoughts or experience?
Unfortunately, a bigger or faster bottling machine is out of the question for awhile.
