ABSTRACT:
A precision tunnel pasteurization process in which the spray density is at least 6 gal./min./ft..sup.2 of processing area and the spray is uniformly distributed over the processing area of the pasteurizer is disclosed, whereby the spray water heats the beer to 140.degree. F.-143.degree. F. and then cools the beer to 70.degree. F.-85.degree. F. The spray nozzles are positioned on staggered centers having 9-12" longitudinal spacing and 6" transverse spacing with 3" spacing from side walls and the nozzle bore is 3/8". The nozzle pressure is about 5 psig to 6 psig and the spray nozzles are the type which are the least likely to become clogged.
