I've been reading a lot about passivation, and speaking with other brewers in my area, and there's definitely a lot of info out there on the subject.
Looking to passivate our 2 bbl tanks, preferably through CIP, and what the best option is.
A supplier in our area recommended nitric acid, but admits that it's only available in very large quantities, far more than we would need. I'm trying to see if another brewer in our area will sell us some, but no luck so far.
I know Starsan is technically an option, but it sounds like running it through CIP could be a problem due to all the foaming.
Does anyone with a similar-size system have any recommendations?
