Yeast Brinks and Load Cells Versus Metering Pump for 30,60 100 bbl DIY brink We made our own from a 3 bbl jacketed, insulated serving vessel (Tielmann): You'll need a vessel, preferably jacketed and insulated, four load cells (or one per foot of the tank), a totalaizer, a scale display, and some welding and electrical skills
Harvesting in Half Barrel Keg Brinks (SOP) for the community once all the brinks are filled or the yeast slurry has gotten thin mark the total harvest amount on the fermentor track sheet in the crash data area Grab a yeast brink tag and fill it out completely for each brink that was harvested noting the Date harvested, Beer harvested from + batch #, PFV#, generation, amount of tetra and anti foam, and
Corney mod for yeast brink - HOW? - ProBrewer Discussion Board Corney brinks We attempted to use a corney for a brink by removing the inner valve stem on the out post but it would still get plugged fairly often We then had the lid drilled and welded with a 90 deg TC and a down tube Worked well but it ended up being too small of a volume for us and we were also quite nervous about all the nooks and crannies
Yeast Brink Recommendations - ProBrewer Discussion Board Cheap, sanitary, and durable do not often come together Cheap - 20l Nalgene bottles, or cornies, sanitary and durable - keg brinks, best option - propagator vessel Big fan of keg brinks for versatility Use them to push chemicals through the canning line, add fruit to beer, store and pitch yeast, and used to use one as a grant back in the day
Degassing Yeast Slurries Samples - ProBrewer Discussion Board We pull our yeast samples from our brinks in to 50mL centrifuge tubes for testing, and depending on the density of the slurry (thicker being more stubborn) even a small bit of residual Co2 can make it very difficult to pull a full sample with the (10uL) micro pipette for dilution So I was wondering if anyone had found an

Sourcing a peristaltic pump for yeast recirculation Hi, I am looking to purchase a small peristaltic pump to keep the yeast in suspension in my 100L yeast propagator What is the specs I should look for ? I would also use the pump to transfer yeast from the cone to my brinks Thanks
Yeast management - ProBrewer Discussion Board We store our yeast in converted half barrel brinks We usually try to crash pretty hard (around 35F) 1-2 days before collection As of right now we do not do any yeast acid washing or a wash with tetraisohumulone (we have never had any issues whatsoever with Lacto in our brewery so we dont open up the brinks more than we have to)
Back-sweetening w Lactose? - ProBrewer Discussion Board My thoughts were to boil the lactose in as little water as necessary and run off to one of our yeast brinks to allow to cool before pushing into the Brite before transfer My only concern from there is potential DO pickup which would probably be low due to the boiling, but figured we could bubble some CO2 from the bottom through the lactose
Cleaning Under Pressure - ProBrewer Discussion Board Rinse beer out and pre-heat tank (usually two 15 gallon brinks) Connect bottom of the tank to the pump (the hose that was dumping pre-heat water and old beer) Pump in Acid (we use Five Star's Acid #6 as it does well in CO2 rich enviroments) Run cycle for 20 minutes, drain acid Rinse out acid with hot liquor (2 brinks) Cool tank down
