Episode 123: Dutch Guy Talks D.O [with Wild Goose Filling Business Development Manager, Laurent Engel]

Dissolved Oxygen (D.O): no two words strike fear into the heart of the brewers.  As you're probably aware, oxygen ingress into beer is bad news; the more D.O in a beer (counted in parts per billion, or ppb) the quicker it will develop stale, off-flavours that ruin a beer.But how should brewers approach D.O?  Is it simply a number that gets talked about when ordering a packaging line?  What should brewers - many of whom simply can't afford expensive measuring equipment - do to keep their D.O under check?These are some of the questions we ask Wild Goose Filling's Laurent Engel, on this week's episode of the Hop Forward Podcast.Over a few beers, Nick and Laurent - Business Development Manager for Wild Goose, based in Denmark - chat all things packaging; getting down to the nitty-gritty of canning and how brewers can package beer that they’d be proud to pour fresh from the packaging line and by the BBE.THIS WEEK'S SHOW IS SPONSORED BY...BrewMan Version 7 - The brand new web-based version of the UK’s number one brewery management software, used by over 250 breweries.BrewMan V7 has been completely rebuilt to combine the features and functions that have been developed alongside their brewery customers for twenty years with new modern interfaces and intuitive controls that can be accessed through your browser on any device.To find out more, visit the website at premiersystems.comGet ahead in the brewing and beer business...Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedInVisit our website hopforward.beer
