Cold Sterile-Filered
Step 1.
You send us your beer in an arlington container or IBC. We transfer your beer into a CO2 purged tank the day it arrives and hold it at 1 degree centigrade for 5 or 6 days.
Step 2.
We transfer the beer to another tank ready for bottling, leaving behind anything that has settled out during cold storage. Between tanks the beer is passed through a plate and frame filter containing over 60 filter sheets of different grades, to clarify the beer prior to bottling.
Step 3.
From the bottling tank the beer passes through the carbonation machine, where it is carbonated to the required level (we can carbonate between 2.0-2.7 vol).
Step 4.
The beer passes through 1.0 micron and 0.45 micron absolute filters on its way to the bottling machine.
Step 5.
The bottles pass through the labelling machine and then onto the bottling machine, where they are rinsed with water, filled with beer and have crowns applied.
Step 6.
Thereafter, the bottles are packaged in trays before going through the shrink wrapper where they are loaded onto a pallet.
Turn-around time is typically one week.
