Benefits for
KOMBUCHA on tap
Kombucha is one of the fastest-growing beverages in the market. Whereas most offer kombucha in bottles, creating waste, compromising taste, and cutting into profit, we recommend storing and serving your new-aged tea from a keg. Once you see the advantages of kombucha on tap, the decision is quite simple.
Sustainable
Storing kombucha in a keg or beverage tank means less waste from bottles and cans. It’s a win-win: healthy for the environment and healthy for your body.
Taste Samples
Kombucha on tap gives you the option to provide product samples for your customers, helping them decide what to purchase without committing to a full bottle or can.
Best Flavor
Light, temperature fluctuations, and long shelf-life can all impact flavor. With kombucha on tap, you can ensure it is fresh, with perfect carbonation, from the first pour to the last.
Kombucha Dispensing
Best practices
Use Quality Components
Due to the acidic nature of kombucha and the fact that it's a fermented beverage, use only the highest quality parts—304 stainless steel components are required, and XtraFlexmaster™ tubing is recommended.
Ensure Perfect Balance
Like beer, kombucha is a carbonated drink, typically dispensed from a keg using CO2 or mixed gas. A proper balance of gas is critical as it protects the recipe and helps keep its distinctive fizz.
maintain 38 DEGREES
Make sure kombucha kegs are stored at 38 degrees and maintain temperature all the way to the faucet. This will control the carbonation in the drink and ensure your kombucha won’t pour too foamy.
