4.2 Sterilisation
The flask is filled with wort to the net capacity corresponding to approximately 80% of the total volume. Sterilisation takes place
in an autoclave, on a gas burner or an electric hotplate. After sterilisation, the flask is placed in a refrigerator or a cold room in
order to cool down the wort to the desired working temperature.
The filter house can remain mounted on the flask during sterilisation; however, if the filter house has been sterilised separately,
it is important to remount it in the end phase of wort sterilisation while steam is still evaporating from the flask so that the
filter connection is also sterilised.
4.3 Aeration
Aeration of the cold wort is carried out through the membrane sample valve connected to the aeration lance. It is important to
use sterile air for safety reasons; it it is recommended to mount a filter in front of the membrane sample valve.
Air supply and flow should be moderate in order not to create too much foam. Foam must not enter the filter house as it will
destroy the filter and may lead to blockage.
Practical tests with open lid will be the easiest way to determine the right conditions for air supply as well as duration of aeration
(less than 10 minutes). Yeast culture from such tests should not be used.
4.4 Inoculation
When the wort is well aerated, yeast culture can be introduced aseptically through the membrane fitting by means of a syringe
with a content of 150-200 ml.
Alternatively, dry yeast culture can be transferred to the flask via the empty filter house. In case a bigger quantity of yeast
is needed, the lid can be dismounted and the culture poured into the flask – this procedure requires sterile surroundings
and maximum precautions.
4.5 Transfer
During transfer of pure yeast culture from the Carlsberg Flask to the yeast propagation plant, it is important that all hose tails
are fastened firmly and safely with hose clips.
The transfer of pure yeast culture into the propagation plant should take place under aseptic conditions. This procedure requires
sterile air supply to the filter house and the yeast culture can be pressed from the flask into the inoculator when the membrane
sample valve on the lid of the Carlsberg Flask has been connected to a sample device on the receiving vessel (the inoculator).
Connecting hose, membrane sample valve and all connections must be thoroughly sterilised by alcohol or steam before this
transfer takes place. Between operations, the valve may be sealed with alcohol which should be blown out with sterile air
prior to use.
When the connection has been established and the inoculation is to take place, we recommend that the sterile air supply is
opened first, thereafter the membrane sample valve on top of the flask, and finally the sample device on the inoculator is opened.
When the culture has been transferred (bubbling noise in the inoculator), we recommend continuing with air supply for another
1-2 minutes in order to ensure that all the culture is transferred.
Finally, the sample device on the receiving vessel and the membrane sample valve on the Carlsberg Flask can be closed, air
supply is stopped.
