Pasteurization: The Dirty Word That Will Save Your Craft Brewery | QFPB E028
Want to build a brewery-quality system in just 60 days that actually works?
Brew consistent, world-class beer – start with my free Crash Course 👉 https://rockstarbrewer.com/crashcourse
Discover why the stigma against pasteurization is putting your brewery at risk and how embracing this scientific tool can protect your brand from exploding cans, product recalls, and potentially devastating lawsuits.
The craft beer industry has long demonized pasteurization as the enemy of flavor and authenticity, but this dangerous myth is causing real problems – especially with the booming non-alcoholic beer market (projected to hit $35 billion by 2033) and trendy fruited sours that are literally exploding in consumers’ fridges.
In this comprehensive guide you’ll learn:
- Why the fear of pasteurization is putting craft breweries at financial risk
- The science of pasteurization units (PUs) and why it's not "cooking" your beer
- How hop creep in your IPAs can lead to diacetyl bombs and over-carbonation
- Three affordable pasteurization methods for craft breweries of all sizes
- Practical brewing adjustments to maintain perfect flavor with pasteurization
- Why non-alcoholic beer without pasteurization is a serious food safety hazard
This isn't about "selling out" – it's about professional brewing practices that guarantee consistency, shelf stability, and brand reputation. Learn how modern pasteurization technology can be implemented affordably even in small craft breweries without compromising your beer's character.
