Week at a Glance¶
Beer Flow¶
The plant moves beer through three zones in sequence. Lab and Chemicals support all three.
| Zone | What happens | Section |
|---|---|---|
| Brewhouse | Mash, lauter, boil, whirlpool — wort production up to end of boil | Brewhouse |
| Cellar | Wort knockout, fermentation, dry hop, crash, carbonation — until ready for filling | Cellar |
| Packaging | Canning and KeyKeg filling, line CIP, foam-down | Packaging |
| Lab & Instruments (supports all zones) | Plato, pH, CO₂/O₂/TPO, micro samples, cell count | Lab & Instruments |
| Utilities (supports all zones) | Barrel and bath management, CIP up-concentration, HLT CIP | Utilities |
| Reference (not SOPs) | Glossary, tank reference, Botec navigation, spreadsheets, schedule, CIP comparison | Reference |
