Tips and Tricks for Avoiding Equipment Issues in the Brewery

As everyone in the brewing business knows, entropy increases in the brewery. It’s going to break. It’s not a matter of If – it’s a matter of When. And then there’s troubleshooting for that off-flavor or other issue with the beer….is it your equipment? Join our team of craft beer industry veterans as they share their best practices and investigative troubleshooting strategies in the brewery to ensure sparkling clean, well-maintained equipment that consistently makes and packages great beer. Between them, they have close to 100 years of brewing, managing breweries, installing breweries, advising breweries, packaging, installing bottling/canning lines, and being ultimately answerable to beer quality and operations for breweries in the US and beyond. Bring your questions and be prepared for some fun stories and actionable advice. This team has seen a lot.
