MBAA TQ - Recovery and regeneration of soaker caustic - a practical experience. | 18923 | | The analyses used for the determination of the physical and chemical characteristics of bottle washer waste caustic are reviewed. Objective and design criteria for a caustic reclaim centre are described in which the waste caustic is first coarse filtered and then allowed to settle overnight. The clarified caustic is reused and the sedimented sludge centrifuged. Any excess caustic is neutralised and sent to the sewers. Problems encountered during installation and initial operation of the caustic reclaim centre are discussed. | 9/16/2020 7:44:13 PM | 9/16/2020 7:44:13 PM | Past Issues

MBAA TQ - Practical experiences of packaging beer in pet bottles. | 18123 | | The experience of one brewing company in bringing beer to market in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles is detailed. PET bottles are attractive in being cost competitive, lightweight, shatter proof, odourless and taint free. PET in bottle form is a poor barrier to water vapour, carbon dioxide and oxygen and leads to poor shelf life of the beer. However, external coating of the bottles with polyvinylidene chloride PVdC reduces the rate of carbon dioxide loss and oxygen pickup, as measured by the development of haze and unacceptable flavours, and extends shelf life beyond 20 weeks. There are occasional problems associated with blistering and flaking of the PVdC coating. Bottles must be stored in a cool, clean and dry environment because of their high flammability, tendency toward heat distortion and the need to preserve their near sterility at manufacture. Because preevacuation of the PET bottle is not possible it is necessary to ensure that beer DO is low, bottle fill in quiet and top space air removal is effective. The heat sensitivity of PET bottles precludes tunnel pasteurisation necessitating aseptic filling with flash pasteurised beer and subsequent rigorous microbiological quality control. Using high quality wraparound labels of metallised paper and correct choice of glue, tearing of labels due to post filling bottle expansion has not been a problem. Early problems with reduced strength and stability of palletised loads due to condensation in the filled cases have been resolved by the introduction of ventilation holes in cases and by leaving warehoused pallets undisturbed for 7 days thus allowing condensation to evaporate. | 9/16/2020 7:13:03 PM | 9/16/2020 7:13:03 PM | Past Issues

MBAA TQ - Possible practical application of solar energy to the brewing industry. | 16237 | | Solar energy, directly or indirectly, is the source of almost all of the energy on earth. Although the total amount reaching the earth daily is vast, it is diffuse and intermittent. Two problems must be overcome in its direct economic utilisation; the first is concentration and the second storage. The problem of concentration seems to have been resolved for many uses, whereas storge is still the subject of many R & D programmes. Examples of solar energy to space heating and cooling, the food processing industry, the Rankline cycle engine and some 'exotic' applications are covered. In brewing, the actual use of solar energy to pasteurization and some other potential applications are discussed. | 9/16/2020 7:59:10 PM | 9/16/2020 7:59:10 PM | Past Issues

Some problems associated with water recycling are discussed. It is pointed out that rising water and effluent costs may lead to some measures previously considered uneconomic becoming worthwhile in future. | 9/16/2020 5:59:04 PM | 9/16/2020 5:59:04 PM | Past Issues

MBAA TQ - Practical experiences in the production of wort by continuous high temperature wort boiling. | 18039 | | The advantages of continuous high temperature wort boiling (CHTWB) are presented based on the results obtained from a 300 Brl/hr production plant. The plant was installed alongside a conventional batch system and involves the recuperation of vapours to reduce the energy consumption during boiling. Satisfactory results can be produced using CHTWB after 3 min at 140 degrees C with an evaporation of 8%. A wide range of products have been produced by this method, these have proved to be acceptable by flavour profile analysis and have been introduced into trade unblended. Hop utilisation has been increased by 2% and energy measurements show a 69% reduction in the steam requirement, thereby reducing the overall brewhouse requirement by 56%. Calculations show a discounted pay back period of between 20 and 24 months and results indicate increased benefit in terms of beer flavour and stability. | 9/16/2020 7:13:54 PM | 9/16/2020 7:13:54 PM | Past Issues

MBAA TQ - A summary of some practical aspects of using computerized sensory data in brewing. | 18034 | | Progressive types of analysis and handling sensory data are possible using modern computers and related hardware. Large computers facilitate the use of statistical methods such as factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The availability of electronic plotting devices and digitizers to transcribe panellists responses directly to computer file permit the use of large volumes of data. In these studies three types of panel are used. An expert technical panel, for quality control, comprised of highly experienced individuals trained to judge beer through discrimination, profile and defect determination sensory methods. A trained panel of discriminating employees, using their own terminology, generate data for Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. Finally a 'panel' of untrained brewery visitors who were asked to measure acceptance and preference between beers. Three case histories are presented, based on Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. In the first the development of a new product is followed, comparing the test beer with a market leader and another established brand. Data for the three beers is presented in cluster form, primarily bitter and fruity/sweet character clusters. Beer character was modified until considered ready for acceptance testing. In the second study, beers were tested continuously over two and a half years. Acceptance and preference ratings for three beers by the visitor panel are presented graphically, and compared with the results of Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. The third study concerns the development of an existing brand. The study's objective was to attain parity acceptance with major competitive brands and to maintain consumer acceptance at parity or better with the existing product. | 9/16/2020 7:14:11 PM | 9/16/2020 7:14:11 PM | Past Issues

MBAA TQ - Practical Experience of a Brewery Facing the Effects of Market Globalization | 19757 | | Cervecer�a y Malter�a Paysand� SA (CYMPAY) is a brewing and malting company located in Uruguay, South America. The yearly pro-duction is about 300,000 hLs of beer and 90,000 tons of malt. Our beer market share is 25%. 93% of the malt is destinated to export trade to Brazil and Argentina. During 1991 we began a change process to adapt our structure to new market conditions. This change process was planned around three key areas: 1. Human resources a. Payroll reduction by means of out-sourcing of dispensable jobs b. Retirement incentives c. Cost reduction by means of different types of salary agreements every two years. d. Training of existing staff and hiring of more qualified personnel. 2. Updating of installations and process: a. Process improvement and equipment renewal beginning in the bottling hall and filtration cellar . b. Joint work with an external consultant. 3. Changes in commercial and marketing policy a. Introduction of new beer brands b. Introduction of new bottle formats c. Joint-ventures with other breweries d.
