QUALITY ASSURANCE
Liquid Preparation
The beverage product that is required to be kegged can be bulk delivered to IDL for storage in stainless steel tanks until it’s due for kegging. IDL can also create the beverage product on-site to match an existing recipe or to satisfy an NPD brief.
HOW IT WORKS
Kegging process
Kegs are cleaned externally
Kegs are emptied and caustic cleaned
Kegs are citric cleaned
Kegs are steam sterilised
Kegs are filled with desired product
