This lecture is NOT a substitute for a handbook or a maintenance manual. What it will offer you is a clear picture of what might be needed for your brewery in order to run safely and efficiently. Appropriate maintenance is clearly beneficial, otherwise, people wouldn’t do it, but it does have a cost and involves time and money. So you have to decide which approach is best for you. What are the basic steps? What maintenance is typically carried out by small brewers? Remember that some items of maintenance are mandated to ensure the safety of personnel and plant.
