There are a number of factors that are important in maintaining proper sanitation for breweries. A clean look on the equipment does not translate in real sanitation. Nothing can replace elbow grease or a good cleaning chemical. The agents used in sanitizing the equipment should be compatible with beer. This eliminates the need to rinse the equipment after sanitizing.
Sodium hydroxide has been used in the industry for a while as a cleaning agent. It remains a sensitive reagent that is not available to everyone. Trisodium phosphate has effectively been used as a replacement. It clears protein materials stuck on the walls of brewing equipment. The quality of the final product will be determined by your level of brewery sanitation.
All items used in the process must be sanitized. Mere washing will remove the physical and visible dirt. Water and other processes of cleaning are likely to reintroduce contaminant. The aim of initial cleaning is to get rid of dirt and dust. Sanitizing will clear bacteria and micro-organisms that cannot be cleared using water.
Thorough washing is important even though sanitizing will eventually be done. It greatly reduces the level of contamination. Micro-organisms can only be removed using special reagents. Such reagents prevent buildup. Brushes and sponges are used on areas that are easily reached.
A stronger detergent is useful if the contaminants or stains are strong. The walls of the fermenter are likely to have residues which are cleared using a stronger agent. The residues leave a filmy deposit that requires expert clearing. The rinsing must also be thorough to avoid contaminating your brew.
Bleach based cleaners are not friendly to stainless surfaces. This means that fermenters are best made of such material as glass. The period of contact should be as short as possible. The bleaches react with the surfaces in the shortest time possible with the likelihood of pocking holes. Plastics are dangerous because they absorb the chemicals.
The market has provided a range of sanitizers for different contaminants. The level of contamination determines the strength of a reagent. Storing the brew in some containers for a long time is likely cause negative reactions. Glass fermenters are preferred in most cases. Individuals should make the right choices.
Calcium oxalate is a common contaminant which is known as beer stone in other circles. It results from the use of some components during brewing. Caustics are the best sanitizers in this case. It is sold on the form of liquid or solid depending on the brand.
The process of brewing uses other equipment and accessories. They range from spoons to tubes. Their level of contamination varies. While some will be sanitized in the process of stirring boiling reagents, others require particular attention depending on the point they come into contact with the product.
PVC hose and tubing play a vital role in the brewing process but have the potential of causing immense damage. The length and twists on these pipes is prohibitive at times. It presents the challenge of controlling temperature and pressure. This makes shorter pipes and tubes more effective.
