Hi Andrew: Peracetic Acid and Iodophor have about the same efficacy when it comes to beer spoilers. Iodophors are more stable which is why many brewers used to use them for soaking parts in sanitizer after cleaning. However, Iodine is much more corrosive ...
Pete Milfred from AceChem and Brew City Solutions here - San-O2-Gard is PAA/Perasan A from Enviro Tech (same manufacturer as Bioside HS 15% and Reflex) and the majority of breweries we work with use PAA as their primary sanitizer. In terms of effectiveness, ...
We also use this and love it because we have reduced our phos nitric blend acid wash from once every 3 turns to once every 6 on our tanks. ------------------------------ Ivan Dedek Director of Brewing Operations Meier's Creek Brewing Cazenovia NY ...
We've been using Reflex which I believe is a PA and Nitric blend which combines the acid wash step and sanitize steps, is no rinse and doesn't react in CO2 rich environments (so you can sanitize Brites under pressure to save CO2). I love it. ------------------------------ ...

If you have a CO2 package tester, you can check the level carbonation in the gushing cans. If the carbonation is 2.9 volumes or higher, and/or higher than what it was at the time of packaging, that clearly indicates fermentation activity in the can and ...
Hi Patrick, It does look like a beta-glucan and Xylan build up with some protein too. I would suggest an enzyme blend that has a beta-glucanase and a Xylanase first. If this clears it up you should be good. If that doesn’t do it, you can try adding a ...
