Applying what I've learned from PB in order to help solve everyday issues.

Problem: Ice cubes piping at the surface of this BOS. (Body of Soda)



Analysis: Upon sampling the BOS, I have discovered a layer of intensely flavored cherry syrup languishing near bottom of the soda column...short answer - the BOS is stratified, forcing the ice cubes to rise up to the surface.

Hypothesis: a thorough mixing of the soda column is needed immediately. My solution is bottom diffused aeration.

Installing proper aeration equipment:


Initiating airflow to induce mixing of the soda column:


The same BOS, now showing traces of the cherry syrup layer mixed throughout the entire soda column. Unfortunately, in my haste to correct the soda imbalance I did not utilize the correct aeration start-up procedure, and turned the entire BOS far too rapidly resulting in a cube kill - note that the cubes are floating belly up.


However, thanks to PB, I know where to go from here: Drain, refill, and begin anew.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
