    Beer going bad during the summer

    Batch size is 15 gallons the fermenters are 20 gallon barrels I'm not sure the specifics but the beer goes from kettle into a pump which pushes it throughout a plate heat exchange bringing the beer down to temp really fast and the beer goes into a food grade poly bag so unless the bag breaks the...

    Beer going bad during the summer

    I never really thought about pitch rate but it's pretty low for the beers, I didn't do the math for exact pitch rate but we use 200 billion cells for 15 gallons and a lot of them are high gravity our most popular beer for customers to brew is a heady topper clone, although that one rarely goes bad.

    Beer going bad during the summer

    I think that everyone is right here. It's pretty rare still here maybe a total of ten batches a year go bad out of hundreds. One of the first things I personally would invest in is temperature control but unfortunately the decisions are not left up to me as I am only an employee haha.

    Beer going bad during the summer

    It doesn't fluctuate dramatically or anything like that. I was thinking it may have to do with temperature. The only problem with that is that there could be about 12 different strains fermenting at once Right now it is staying at a pretty constant 70 but I still get maybe one bad beer a week

    Beer going bad during the summer

    Bottling is fine we use a counter pressure bottler, the issue is the beer going bad during fermentation. We don't have any temperature control during summer the room is usually 70, 80 on the hottest days no higher though.

    Beer going bad during the summer

    I work at a brew on premise and we brew maybe 25 beers a week during the slow season which happens to be summer. For some reason when the season changes to summer a lot more batches of beer go bad during fermentation, I've done some research and can not find anything on the topic besides already...

    Caffeine

    I think this has been touched on a couple of times but with no clear answer for me, I want to make my own cola to save money. I spend about 50 dollars a month on cola and I can cut that down by making my own, I work at a brew on premise where we have all the ingredients and equipment I need. All...
