Correct Installation And Maintenance Matters For Draft Kombucha Quality
Serving high-quality kombucha on tap requires proper installation and maintenance for taste, probiotic integrity, and overall quality. Here’s why a well-maintained draft kombucha system is essential:
Maintaining Live Cultures: As a fermented beverage, the active probiotics in kombucha require specific conditions to thrive. Anything from temperature fluctuations to excessive carbonation can impact these tiny organisms. Proper installation and maintenance help conserve the right temperature and pressure, ensuring your kombucha offers its full health benefits.
Preventing Cross-Contamination: Kombucha's organic acids and live bacteria can interact with residues in poorly maintained lines, causing dangerous contamination. Regular cleaning and maintenance prevent unwanted microbial growth and the buildup of yeast or sugar deposits.
