Quality control: draught kegged cider

 The ideal temperature for keg dispense is between 5 ° C - 8 ° C, for storage we would recommend no greater than 13 ° C.

Temperature

 Keg lines should be cleaned at least every 7 days, only recommended line cleaning products should be used & excess line cleaning fluid should be disposed of afterwards to avoid contamination.  Thorough cleaning is required as yeast could affect the products clarity and can lead to fobbing.

Cleanliness

 Gas cylinders should be stored upright in a secure position and should be switched off after use, as this can potentially cause fobbing. Only use the correct mix of gas as directed by your cellar service technician.  Ensure the cellar is well ventilated as stale air will make cider hazey, although draughts should be avoided
