Comment on Vesuvius

If I had an industrial fermenter, I’d probably try installing a sonicator head near the exhaust pipe orifice on the inside, coupled with gas phase, and just pop the bubbles. Like they do in waste fermenters sometimes.
I’m advocating against 100+L fermentations in general, that’s where industrial moves start to infringe on artistic part imo. Besides, local population has severe drinking problem and overcompensate, whenever I share a bottle with someone, they sometimes don’t touch it for months - I could start homebrewing daily and make more than my village can drink.
I keep returning to idea of having super local brew houses, brewpubs, but local food place owners don’t want to mess with it. National anti-drinking laws force people to drink pissbeer and cheap spirits.
That’s quite nice in CZ. The laws are quite a bit more preferential for smaller breweries - same requirements but lower tax. In the end it’s not that hard to make brew pub or smaller brewery.
For sending beer (not taxed and for free), I don’t have good option. It is possible but has to be correctly marked on the package, in the EU I just don’t know.

You just opened up another dream life for me: designated brewer for an intentional community. If you’re giving the beer away, you can brew up to 200 gallons a year.

Nah, shipping alcohol is a nightmare. I’ve tried that, it could get criminal quickly if you are not extremely careful.
Although, why don’t we all give it another try, together?
