Hazard Analysis for Beer Production Process
Hi,
Can someone please share beer brewing hazard analysis?
Thank you
Hi,
Can someone please share beer brewing hazard analysis?
Thank you
So what is the actual Process?
Anki,
I am a diploma certified Master Brewer and have 28 plus years in the brewing industry.
The first step for the HA will be to create a process flow from receipt and storage of raw ingredients, water treatment (if any), grain elevation, grain milling, milled grain storage, mashing, lautering, boiling, whirlpool, cooling, addition of yeast and aeration, fermentation, transfer to aging (if not using uni-tanks), dry hopping if any, aging, filtration, transfer to bottling, canning or kegging, then the actual packaging process along with primary containers and secondary containers.
I will see if I have a copy of one of my HA for the brewing process and send it to you within a day or two.
You will need to analyze every process step for biological, chemical and physical hazards.

Hi Leo,
Thank you for your response. We have a bio fermentation and filtration process for a particular protein recovery. The closest process I can think of will be whey protein recovery system or brewing/filtration system. I was wondering what others have done in terms of hazard analysis when it comes to holding tanks, heat exchangers or filters. What sort of hazards are foreseen at those steps? I understand each process is different and so is the hazard analysis, but some of the steps are same or similar and hazard analysis done previously on any system will be of great assistance.
Looking forward to seeing your hazard analysis.
Thank you,
Charles,
I have mentioned the process in my response to Leo.
Thank you
Anki,
Unfortunately, I cannot locate the files relative to the beer brewing HA. I will continue to look and will post if I can locate.

Maybe you could send a copy to me as well? :)
