Cellar Temperature and Hygiene - Timothy Taylor's Cask Care

Описание: Cellar Hygiene

Cask ale is a living product, so please pay special attention to cellar cleanliness.

Before you prepare the beer you need to ensure that the cellar is clean, including walls, ceilings and the floor, so the beer doesn’t get contaminated with any germs or odours.

Please make sure that there are no other foodstuffs, which could also contaminate the beer, stored in the cellar.

We hold the highest possible BRC (British Retail Consortium) AA rating so you can be sure we are a supplier of safe, consistently brewed beer and take food safety very seriously.

Cellar Temperature

Remember to monitor the temperature of the cellar.

It’s important to keep your cellar at the correct temperature to help preserve the beer and maintain its quality for longer. This also slows down the build-up of bacteria in the beer lines.

To ensure you keep all your beers in perfect condition, the temperature should always remain between 11–13 °C.

You should take this reading with a thermometer, standing away from the cellar cooling and at cask level so you can be sure you have it right.

In a big cellar it’s best to have more than one thermometer so you can be sure that the temperature is consistent.

Also be sure to air your cellar every day by leaving the door open for 10 minutes to allow fresh air in.
