You’ve already paid for it so make sure nothing goes to waste. By tracking brewhouse efficiency with this simple calculator, brewers can begin to evaluate their processes and recipes to ensure they’re not leaving any money in their mash tuns.

This installment of the BA Quality Subcommittee‘s Off Flavor series covers the do’s and don’ts of preventing and managing this unwanted taste in beer.

Anyone try out the Alchemator from Probrew or the DNA Elizr , seem to be geared towards craft brewers.

There seems to be some more options from GEA, Corosys, Gusmer, Anton Paar etc…but have not met any small breweries that leverage them. Would be great to chat with anyone who has experience with these.

There are so many points at which oxygen can sneak in there and start wreaking havoc on all your hard work.

 

That’s why the BA Quality Subcommittee created the Beer Freshness Control in Packaging Operations resource. It lists all the nooks and crannies to be aware of along with troubleshooting advice, so you can ensure your beer survives packaging (whether can, bottle, keg, or serving tank) and arrives at its final destination in all its original glory.
