The Greene King Cellar Doctor website provides information, cellar management tips and problem solving advice for handling Keg Beer so that you can deliver the perfect pint from the Keg. Keg beer is filtered and pasteurised, and carbonated (conditioned) at the brewery before transport to the outlet cellar. This process extends shelf life to 45 days. Many think that Keg beer is ready for immediate sale as soon as it is delivered to your pub. However there is more to keg beer than just plug and go. Management of Kegs includes:
Ideally a keg should be allowed to stabilise at cellar temperature for at least twenty-four hours before connecting up for sale. The best presentation is only achieved by careful control of temperature and CO2 content as both factors affect the flavour of the beer.
The gas content of keg beers varies with the type of beer and, in order to enhance its drinking qualities, it has to be maintained throughout the time it is on dispense. To ensure the minimum amount of change in gas content, the correct use of a “balance” CO2 or MIXED GAS top pressure is required.
