Properly storing fermented products is crucial for maintaining their unique flavor and ensuring quality.

Proper Storage

Proper storage is crucial to any operation— it can safeguard products, prevent possible damage, and ensure the longevity of your product. It can also benefit the process of home-aging high-ABV, unpasteurized brews to encourage additional flavor development and fermentation.

Storage orientation is important for any alcohol storage plan. While bottle caps can rust on the inside, so can alcohol cans. There is air in every alcohol can, and when cans are turned on their sides, a larger surface area of metal is exposed to that air, which can lead to rust.

Responsible Packaging

If you plan on storing alcoholic beverages for a long time, think carefully about your packaging plan.

• Well-sealed cans or bottles
• Shrink-wrapping
• Pallets with corner boards

Temperature control outside of the vintage will require refrigeration and potentially heating.

Climate Control

Cold-to-moderate temperatures are best for storing alcohol long-term. While you can experiment with temperatures, the most important climate control element is consistency. Alcohol does not respond well to large temperature fluctuations, and products lose carbonation when stored in a place with fluctuating temperatures.

Limited Light

Alcohol generally does not respond well to light. Beer is sensitive to light because when brewers boil hops before fermentation, they produce isomerized alpha acids. When light hits these acids, they break down into "skunk" smelling elements.
