hi, as a home brewer we all know we have to treat finished beer with 'kid gloves', gently siphon into the bottom of the bottle, don't agitate it too much, etc.
but when you are dealing with several thousand liters at a time and need to pump it to a bottling machine, what kind of pump system is usually used? i looks to me like sanitary grade, stainless centrifugal pumps are used but i think they would agitate the beer a lot and cause a lot of CO2 to come out of suspension? does anyone know how small breweries do it?
thanks, steve
