Hey Oliver! Do you suspect taste and head issues with chlorine dioxide even at the extremely low concentrations used ~1.0 ppm? And when PAA breaks down, doesn't it liberate free O2? Does this not lend to staling flavors? Thanks!

Your water should be sanitary to start with, so boiling seems unnecessary. Most beverage plants have extensive water treatment, including carbon filtration to remove taints. I don't use benzoate, but instead potassium sorbate at 50-100ppm. Great book for those who want to know more is Sorbate Food...

You would get extremely low DP if you allow your cookie to shrink and allow water flow around it through these channels. So no, you cannot just optimize for low DP. Your efficiency is inversely proportional to DP, given all other things remain same. Rakes do help; that's why they're there! Good...

-10 to -11 is what units? DP is my primary method of checking for optimal grain crush. If I'm able to maintain a very low DP in the 120 minutes of vorlauf/sparge/runoff, then I can likely crush a bit finer to get higher DP and increase extraction. At least up to the point of excessive fines and grain...

Can epoxy liner integrity test?
We've had a few pinhole leaks in our cans. Enough to raise alarms. The cans have been stored for a few years, but in a clean environment. As I understand it, testing is done at manufacture with a high-speed dielectric test as proxy for can liner integrity. Anybody know of a field test we can use...

I'm guessing that the policing you refer to would require human input and $$$ to make happen. As the used equipment section is mostly free postings, where would this money come from? I've found dozens of equipment pieces here and never had an issue with this. You can look up the location of the poster,...

I would think that your cans have more dust in them than bugs. For me, I'd leave out the peracetic acid and use more force with your rinsing section. If you must use peracetic, then you should be sure that your can lining is compatible. Also consider very light chlorine dioxide as opposed to per...

Good to hear that this is already paying off. Be sure to put your SRVs on this to make sure they blow properly. First step to making better beer is to gain control of the process! Best of luck.

The conduit you saw was highly likely NOT stainless, but instead galvanized. I've never seen stainless conduit in over 20 years of installing breweries (except as cord guides on some German equipment). As for food grade, your electrical equipment isn't inside your beer, nor even close to it, so there...
