The Importance of Proper Storage Refrigeration for the Maturation and Quality of Beers
The importance of the correct temperature for beer maturation and storage is often a secondary consideration in practice. However, proper storage and maturation are crucial for the character and quality of the final products, because only when the substances from the young beer have been properly removed and the beer can develop during storage will it become a truly good beer. LiquoSystems’ storage refrigeration units are key to achieving the right temperatures. They ensure perfect quality, precisely to the degree. Some brewers swear by the term “cellar maturation”, others by “room temperature”. But which of these is correct? That depends on the temperature there! For example, with cellar storage, there can be a 10-degree difference depending on the type of cellar and the season. And where cooling is required in summer, sometimes a little heating is even necessary in winter. For this reason, a professional approach to storage temperature and the conditioning of precious and sensitive stored goods is recommended. (more…)
