BBT Purging on the cheap
Reading what Larry Horwitz said above..." it takes us 6 HOURS of constant purging to get our 120 barrel BBT down below 50ppb. " is frightening. Are there any cheaper ways of doing it? Does anyone have any experience, for example, with connecting the vent off an active FV to the outlet of a BBT and purging the BBT during fermentation? Perhaps you could put a keg of sanitiser in between so the waste CO2 has to bubble through the sanitiser before going into the BBT. It seems like it would be a good idea in principle, but has anyone tried this? Aside from capacity issues could there be other problems?
