Why Proper Installation and Maintenance Matters for Draft Seltzers
Far from simple water, the best seltzers maintain ideal carbonation and rich flavors. Installing your own system can lead to issues, while proper installation and maintenance ensure purity and the intended taste. Here's why a draft system is essential for seltzer quality:
Preserving Carbonation and Flavor: Free from sugars and other additives, seltzers rely on precise carbonation levels and consistent temperature to deliver their crisp, refreshing taste. Anything from inconsistent pressure to a lack of line cleaning can lead to flat or over-carbonated pours. Always maintain consistent pressure with GS Draft's expert installation and maintenance services.
Preventing Cross-Contamination: If you plan on serving beer or any other beverages aside from seltzer, properly maintained lines are crucial for maintaining purity. Poorly maintained lines can introduce residues from other beverages, impacting both taste and safety. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and keeps your seltzer flowing as intended.
