    Biofine

    Just to confirm, Biofine/Brausol/Silicasol is best added to the FV. As soon as it goes on Chill This affects the yeast and will bomb everything out.You then take off to the keg or racking tank and away you go. This is not meant to be a ‘fined to keg’ sorta deal. It was actually designed to be...

    does Biofine clear need boiling?

    Should not reuse yeast treated with silica hydrogels for repitch or carbonation - coats the yeast and affects performance

    Binary Beer "smart" kegs

    Not a simple solution. Add in the heat stress applied to the keg at cleaning and filling, the physical stress of a pressure vessel through a logistics chain and trade abuse ... it leaves nothing simple to the efforts

    Binary Beer "smart" kegs

    It's huge - both Brewers have close to a million kegs each and loss rate at approx 5% a year. Customer complaints for lion are about 4 complaints per million litres, cub were higher at about 21 complaints when I' did work for DSI. Make a million litres a day and it adds up. The other issue...

    You think micros do it tough in Aus

    Intermittent power. Hot and humid as all hell. Work boots optional for staff. Co2 8 times the cost of AU supply. Forecast production for 3 months and do not forget a thing, cos' it's at least 3 months till your next container with supplies arrives.

    Biofine

    Fall rate of 5m a day at near zero. We also recirc for 10 mins after dosing to mix in, works better. If you blow it up and disturb the yeast it falls out quickly if cold

    How the unit works is part of the IP, needless to say this will have a massive impact on asset tracking.

    beer lines

    There's no pub with a long draw system that flushes with water nor can afford to take the waste. Harts has 75l of beer in the lines, called flow backs and a regular clean. Aside from the fact the lines would freeze due to a glycol tank at -2c Aeris enzyme cleaner or the pink Andale caustic...

    Biofine

    Remember silica hydrogels are primarily for yeast. If you are having haze issues then attack it in the mash tun by having a coarser crush and step mash (50c). If you are using wheat then there ain't much you can do

    Biofine

    No probs, what that picture shows is low protein levels as well. It is great stuff but you need to manage it. Whilst we recirc with co2, if there is a heap of yeast it can stir up and fall out again. I would still rack off and brighten in a cube if you want to recycle yeast from the primary...

    Hi from corrimal

    All on the Ibus list?
  17. ///

    Biofine

    Not recommended for repitches, we us 4.5l per 60 hl, recircing with Co2 to distribute through the tanks. Fall rare is 5m a day which the height of our tanks. Also goes under stabisol or brausol. The Kerry product thru bintani is expensive compared to the others.

    Kegerators vs icebank

    Their a fridge system - they are all expensive to fix! The celli units work well. To bractons defence, they do not sell direct to the market but through installers. Find a local beer plumber that deals with them. If not try andale or hoshizaki lancer
