Product Safety and Container Rinsing

This chapter emphasizes the importance of product safety in small breweries and discusses various options for monitoring container rinsing. It introduces fail-safe mechanisms, such as pressure cut-out switches and hand recording meters, to ensure thorough rinsing. The chapter also covers rinse or validation procedures, including the 'mouse test' and challenge testing using plastic flies, to prevent the filling of containers that haven't been properly rinsed.
