Hi,
I have posed a similar question before in the past but wanted to re ignite it if i may.
I have been homebrewing for a few years now and in the future i want to be able to open a commercial brewery.
One thing i have been trying to do is maintain consisntency in my brew to ensure the same beer everytime.
Im struggling with one thing and that is that when my beer has completed fermentation (Using Safale 04) only afer a few days may i add, most commercial breweries would cold crash straight away to stop it at the desired ABV, however this does not allow for the yeast to clear up its byproducts (Diacetyl) as its basically killing the yeast.
Can anyone, perhaps someone who is a commercial brewer give me some advice on what i should do. and i suppose i should ask, does beersmith calculate exactly the amount of extracted sugar from grains to ensure that the yeast does not overshoot the desired ABV, thus meaning that i could leave another couple of days to clean up without risking the ABV going up?
I think that all makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.
