I'm putting together my first 8.5 bbl brewery and I already have the Health Department asking me how I'm going to treat my sewer effluents to be between a PH of 5.5 and 10.
My CIP system is a dual tank closed loop, acid sanitizer on one and caustic on the other. Ones I'm done cleaning could I mix both chemicals to get in the PH range? What about the final rinsing, or disposing yeast or cleaning the mash tun?
I can still install a sump pit to increase the volume of the effluents but I don't want to get into expensive automatic ph adjusters...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
