Replacing the 3-Step CIP for Bright Beer Tanks

Summit Brewing Co. was using an existing 3-step CIP procedure for their bright beer tanks that included an acid wash and a two-species peracid sanitizing step. This existing process required significant time, water, and the use of multiple chemistry.

Summit partnered with Ecolab to test SynergexTM as a single-step cleaner for bright beer tanks. The use of Synergex provided:

  1. Reduced odor profile and safer handling compared to two-step peracid sanitizer
  2. A simplified CIP process
  3. Decreased chemical concentration requirements

"Synergex For Bright Beer Tanks Successfully Eliminated the Acid Rinse Step"

Results of Synergex as a Single-Step Cleaner

Ecolab helped Summit Brewing improve:

  • Water
    Over $13K of annual water savings
  • Productivity
    An additional 52 minutes gained per CIP cycle
  • Waste
    Up to 25% less peracid sent to the effluent stream
