This is part of a press release and an upcoming interview release with Russian River’s Vinnie Cilurzo from SaveOnBrew:
In the interview, fans get an inside look at how a world-class craft brewer selects ingredients and maintains sanitization. “We have a color code system,” Cilurzo tells SaveOnBrew. “Red buckets or anything taped with red tape is ‘100% funky’, meaning both Brett yeast and bacteria. Blue is just Brett parts, and white is ‘100% non-funky.’ Our long term goal is to have a separate ‘funky facility,’ but, for now, we have to do it under one roof.”
