Very, very helpful guys. I've been homebrewing for 11 years and have won 35 medals over the last few years. I've been hired by a new brewery and I'm familiar with a lot but the little details you bring to light are immensely helpful. You're really showing me a lot and getting me absolutely ready to start brewing on our 10bbl next month. Thanx again and keep up the cool videos.

You mentioned obtaining on Autoclave for pouring Agar plates. I am using a Crockpot Instant pot pressure cooker. I haven't had any type of spoilage, or infection in my plates. I used Autoclave tape to ensure that the cooker was able to Sterilize everything as well.
Thanks Jasper. Funny how every week in my Brewing Arts class, we learn something that relates to your video of the week!! Cheers.
That's awesome, Cheers!
Love your content. So helpful!
Who are the people the downvote something like this? Its great!
WOW!!! That was a lot of information!! I think a deeper video on some of the equipment would be nice. CHEERS!
Thanks for the video Jasper! it was very informative and brought up a few things I hadn't yet considered. Keep up the good work!
That's great to hear, glad I could help, Cheers!
How do you do the titration test for phosphoric acid additions to sparge water? Would LOVE to see a video on water treatment, how you calculate, what you use, etc.
awesome vid thanks!
Cheers man!
That Do and Ph meter rocks, i wish we could get it in argentina. Nice video like always, keep it up. Cheers, it would be really awesome ifyou could make a video of yeast counting
Thanks, Ill do a video on yeast slurry dilution with methylene violet by weight for you. There seem to be a lot of fine videos on loading and counting with a hemocytometer, at least better than I can do with my cell phone. Cheers!
Hi Jasper. Thanks for the video. What equipment do you use to check bitterness and colour please?
Hi Jasper. Thanks for the dedication you have in sharing Brewery Life. You have an awesome Lab. You mentioned testing and sampling chemicals for loops. I understand that you'd need that for CIP and Sanitization chemical strengths. Have you thought of using UV-C lighting to Disinfect equipment like the FVs. It could reduce cost in this area and reduce environmental impact. I understand 5 minutes of UV-C exposure would be sufficient and kill more bacteria and pathogens than something like starSan. Cleaning ports and valves would still need special care. -Cheers from CO, USA
John Schink doesn't UV need line of sight? Any shadow would not be sanitized.
Thanks for the question! I am currently looking at UV treatment for my water sterilization. This is where UV is most commonly used in breweries. UV for tank sterilization is not done for a few reasons as far as I can tell. Liquid sanitizers are proven to reach all the "shadows". Liquid Sani has more room for error, UV surfaces have to be immaculately cleaned to be sterilized. Brewers can monitor the liquid sanitation process by testing final rinse for any signs of DNA. If a 200bbl FV was UV sterilized it would be impossible to swab every surface. UV equipment, bulbs, monitoring could get expensive quick. I am not saying it's impossible and might be the way of the future, dream big man, Cheers!
I had in my mind UV would powerful, like "laser beams" :-). I was thinking of, at minimum, of dosing my hands, counters and carboys with UV. How's that final rinse monitored for signs of DNA? -COOL
Here's one I want to buy: czcams.com/video/4GpOFXJxWYM/video.html Cheers!
hi i would like to ask you. how yo get the right amount of yeast cell from a 2000ml flask , using for example a yeast vial from white lab or a package of dry yeast. for 10bbl system? thanks
Any info on that digital pressure gauge? Like, where did you get it?? Can't find one anywhere. Cheers and great work on the vids.
Thanks, This is an SSI Technologies Inc. Digital Pressure Gauge 0-30psi. mcmastercarr.com and grainger.com have good options for digital pressure gauges. Cheers!
Thanks for all the videos. I've watched the entire Brewery Life series. I have a question on the ultrasonic cleaning. I was wondering what cleaner solution you used on the stones. Do you do a double run; one with caustic/oxidizer and one with acid? I saw in ProBrewer.com that indicated PBW and similar cleaners had a component that could clog the pores. Anything would help. Thanks, again.
Nice question, thanks for watching! I do not use PBW, there may be some reaction I am not aware of with that product or it is not strong enough to dissolve the soil. I know PBW is not considered a caustic and carb stone manufactures and ultrasonic manufactures say caustic used to clean stainless is the best. I personally use caustic/oxidizer then acid and store in acid. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any links for info on appropriate caustics and acid cleaners? Cheers.
Not sure about links, but for caustic you will want sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with surfactants. Acid you will want phosphoric or phosphoric/nitric blend. A few companies that come to mind are: 5 stars, Birko, Sheapard Bros, Ecolab, Zep, Loeffler. All these companies have alot of info. Cheers!
Great! I'll start doing my homework. Gotta earn my beers. Cheers.
where are most people buying fermentation equipment from? Alibaba? I'm in the early stages of planning my brewery for my business plan... need any help at all!
How much of that equipment did you start out with. Or how much is necessary and how much is luxury
I have been upgrading my lab for years and have many more to go. I believe it is all luxury but would recommend a hydrometer when fermenting wort. Chasing the impossible task of chemical consistency leads to lab development. Cheers!
Brewery Life how often do you check gravity throughout the process? As a homebrewer I started out checking it only right before pitching yeast. Then started checking before the boil and after fermentation. Then there have been times I never took gravity readings on a batch.
Probably around ten times per batch. 5 Times brewhouse, 5 times fermentation.
