BEER
How should I store my beer?
Beer Boxes
Beer Boxes contain live beer. Once opened, the life and quality of the beer is affected by how it is stored. We recommend keeping them in a cool, dry place between 11-14 degrees however a household fridge is better than risking it getting too warm.
- We dispatch all beer boxes with a minimum best before of 2 weeks.
- We recommend keeping our beer boxes in a cool, dry place between 11-14 degrees.
- Very cold or very warm conditions can deteriorate the life span of your beer box.
- Beer boxes should have the excess pressure released regularly by opening the tap while the box is upright and releasing any air.
- Before using, turn the box horizontal, with a slight forward tilt and allow it to settle for at least 24 hours before discarding the first small glass.
- Once opened, our beer boxes typically will last for 7-10 days in a well kept, ventilated room.
Mini Kegs
- Fold the small bracket on the front.
- Pull the tap out to the stop until a white mark is visible.
- Push the lever down to open and back to close.
- When the beer flow decreases vent your mini keg; lift the bracket & turn anti-clockwise to position 1.
- If stored correctly at the right temperature and with reduced amount of air accessing the container, a mini keg can maintain quality for 3-5 days.
