Episode 111: Burst Bottle Detection & Mitigation

From a consumer safety standpoint, glass shards from broken bottles present one of the most serious risks that a brewery may encounter. In order to mitigate the considerable risk to consumers, any brewery that runs a glass bottle filler should develop and implement a formal burst bottle mitigation procedure for their packaging department. Members of the Craft Brewers Glass Quality Group describe the basic outline of such a procedure and resources to enable breweries to develop their own burst bottle mitigation program.Special Guests: Ben Bailey, Shawn Theriot, and Tim Lozen.Sponsored By:Hopsteiner: Proximity Malt: BSG: Gusmer: Precision Fermentation: Brew Ninja: Alfa Laval: Links:Implementation of a burst bottle detection and mitigation program — 2018 Brewing SummitBrewing Summit Proceedings — MBAA members can download for freeUpcoming Events - Master Brewers CalendarJoin Master Brewers — Use promo code BEER2022 to save 20% on dues
