How Kegging Works at IDL

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.

Step by Step Kegging Process

Kegs are cleaned externally
Kegs are emptied and caustic cleaned
Kegs are citric cleaned
Kegs are steam sterilised
Kegs are filled with the desired product
Kegs are loaded onto a pallet for transport

Quality Assurance

Pre-packaging analysis (SG, NTU, C02, conductivity, temp check, taste check)

  • 30 min QA checks (conductivity (caustic, acid & product), velcorin dispenser, C02, steam operation, steam temperature, keg print, cap check)

  • Volume check at the beginning of every run and every 4 hours (weight empty, weight full, net weight, specific gravity, volume, flow meter volume)
