Brew Strong | Creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) For your Brewery Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

Jamil and John give the mail bag a break this week, and instead talk about a more commercial-leaning subject: Standard Operating Procedures. SOP's are common in industrial settings, and breweries (and wineries and distilleries) are very much industrial workplaces. Jamil and John talk about what SOP's a brewery might want to have, and if some of that stuff can translate over to homebrewers who share equipment.

Spoiler: it can!
