Your beer is your company’s most important commodity. You work hard to make it and expect others to pay for it. That’s why it’s so important to take care when bottling it. Hand bottling can be messy and inaccurate, causing spillage and wasted beer. In addition, too much movement in the process of bottling causes beer to begin to go flat. Preventing this movement helps to increase the shelf life of your beer.
Using a beer bottle filler to bottle your beer offers many advantages over hand bottling. First, using a bottle filler allows you to fill your bottles more quickly, increasing the amount of beer you can produce and distribute in the course of a day.
A beer bottle filler also ensures each bottle is filled to exactly the prescribed amount. The bottles will not overflow, nor will any be under filled. Preventing overflow and spillage helps ensure you don’t waste any product. Finally, filling with a beer bottle filler reduces the movement of the beer during the bottling process, keeping the beer from losing carbonation.
While adding a beer bottle filler to your process does mean more automation, you needn’t be concerned that this will dramatically increase your costs. There is an upfront investment required to add a bottle filler, but the cost is easily recouped in the increased production your brewery can have by automating this part of the process.
Talk with your brewing equipment vendor about the best way to add a beer bottle filler to your production line. You’ll be amazed at how much faster you can get beer out the door, and how much more easily your production process will seem. Your beer will be in the bottle and headed out to customers as soon as it is ready from the brewhouse.
