We have a customer who makes pickled eggs, using malt vinegar and eggs.
Recently the jars have started to go cloudy, with a heavy white sediment settling on the bottom.
He buys a strong vinegar from us and waters it down to the right acidity, before adding the hard boiled eggs. After a couple of days, the sediment starts to appear, so he leaves them for a week or so, then pours the vinegar away, washes the eggs again, and then puts them back in the jars with fresh vinegar. A small amount of sediment then appears, but not as much as previously.
The water supply to the unit is very hard, so we have suggested trying a few using boiled water, or water from a descaler unit.
This might help, but he also pickles other products, such as onions, mushrooms and beetroot with no problems.
Anybody got any ideas?
