How Does CO₂ Get Contaminated?

How Does CO2 Get Contaminated

If your drinks keep tasting “off,” losing their fizz too quickly, or pouring inconsistently, the problem may not be your equipment or the product. In many cases, the real cause is CO₂ contamination – and most operators don’t even realise it’s happening. CO₂ contamination is common, completely invisible, and one of the biggest hidden threats […]

How To Improve CO2 Levels for the Best “Fizz” in Your Drinks

How To Improve CO2 Levels for the Best “Fizz” in Your Drinks

The first thing customers notice about a drink is its fizz. A lively sparkle, a crisp mouthfeel, and a bright aroma all depend on how well a drink holds its carbonation. When the fizz is weak, the entire experience falls flat. Drinks taste dull. Foam collapses early. Presentation suffers. For venues that rely on consistent […]

What Is Beverage-Grade CO₂?

beverage grade co2

Beverage-grade CO₂ is the gas used to carbonate drinks and power dispense systems in bars, breweries, and soft-drink production. It is refined to meet strict industry standards, and most operators assume this makes it perfectly pure. But here’s the truth: even beverage-grade CO₂ can contain impurities that affect taste, aroma, and carbonation. These impurities are […]

How to Test Gas Quality in Beverage Systems

How to test gas quality in beverage systems

In beverage production, gas quality has a direct impact on taste, safety, and reputation. Every pint, bottle, or glass depends on one often-overlooked ingredient – carbon dioxide. CO₂ is essential for carbonation and dispense pressure, but its quality can vary more than many producers realise. Even gas labelled as “beverage-grade” can contain trace impurities that […]

Common Draught Beer Problems Caused by CO₂

Common draught beers problems caused by co2

Most beer quality complaints start with CO₂,  not the brew itself. The gas that carbonates and dispenses every pint is also one of the most overlooked sources of quality problems in bars and breweries. CO₂ is vital for maintaining carbonation, pressure, and mouthfeel. Yet, when its quality slips, even slightly, it can ruin taste, aroma, […]

Understanding How Gas Affects Draught Beer

How Gas Affects Draught Beer

Gas drives every pint you pour. It does more than push beer to the tap. It shapes flavour, mouthfeel, and foam. Most dispense issues trace back to gas, not the beer. Small changes in gas purity or pressure cause big problems. Flat pours. Harsh aromas. Foam that collapses too fast. Customers notice immediately. Two gases […]

How to Force Carbonate Beer: Methods, Pressure, and Gas Filtration Explained

You’ve brewed the perfect batch—balanced, flavourful, and ready to serve. But there’s a catch: it needs to be carbonated fast. Whether you’re preparing for a product launch, restocking taps, or speeding up production, waiting weeks for natural carbonation simply isn’t an option. That’s where force carbonation comes in. This method allows brewers to add precise […]

At What Temperature Does Beer Freeze? Causes, Effects & How to Prevent It

You’re mid-service on a busy Friday night, and suddenly, one of the taps stops pouring. The line has frozen. It’s a frustrating moment—beer wasted, customers waiting, and revenue on hold. But can beer really freeze? The answer is yes. While beer freezes at a lower temperature than water due to its alcohol content, it’s not […]
