ABSTRACT: A brewery flash pasteurization system can be customized for each brewer’s specific requirements. Finding the right flash pasteurization system requires a good overall knowledge of the beer pasteurization process. This paper covers the general design, description, features, and capabilities of flash pasteurization technology and is followed by an awareness and evaluation of the criteria brewers need to take into consideration when designing their flash pasteurization process and selecting the right pasteurization equipment. The outcome of this review offers the brewer a better understanding of this technology, a mechanism for determining their required operational specifications, and optimizes the brewer’s ability to select the right system for their specific application.
