I have done a little reserch on the subject of pasteurization and found most advice given is the basically same:
"its dumb, dont do it!"
or
" there is really nothing to gain, dont do it!"
or
" you will ruin the taste, dont do it!"
or
"you lose your ABV, dont do it!"
The common thread between all of these advice givers was they had never done it themselves!
This process was originally developed to lengthen the shelf life of beer or to stop unwanted fermentation. I dont care about maximizing shelf life i just want to stop unwanted fermentation as mentioned at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pasteurization
I want to "back sweeten" some beer for the wife using a little frozen juice concentrate (cheeeeep!). What I would like to do is after fermentation is complete transfer the beer back into my sanke keg, add the juice, put the lid on it heat it to the proper temp then let it cool, force carbonate and be done.
My questions are:
What temp?
How long?
How much pressure will be created during the process (I have tested my kegs and weld at 50psi)?
