Wonder why all the retail grocery stores, convenience stores, maltose beverage stores and beer distributors store their beer in the ambient temps of the facilities, on shelves or pallets. most distributors have open door drive thru warehousing to load up the deliver trucks - it get real warm here in HotLanta in the summer time

Absolutely, it's a great question! When it comes to storing beer, especially in a warehouse setting, temperature control is crucial to maintain the beer's quality. Typically, the ideal temperature for storing beer is around 45-55°F (7-13°C). If the beer gets too warm, it can speed up the aging process and affect the flavors negatively.

For kegs, refrigeration is definitely recommended to keep the beer fresh and preserve its intended taste, particularly if the beer will be stored for an extended period. Non-refrigerated storage can work for short-term solutions, especially in cooler environments, but isn't ideal for maintaining the best quality over time.

Given your needs, you might consider investing in fully automated storage solutions that can maintain precise temperature conditions required for beer. This type of system can be particularly beneficial if you're managing large quantities and require consistent conditions across your inventory. These systems often allow for better space utilization and improved inventory management, making them a solid choice for warehouse operations.

Yeah!! It fully depends on what type of kegs you want to keep to refrigerate it. Different types of kegs need different levels of temperatures that only a professional can understand. I remember when my uncle's warehouse needed a refrigerator as the current one got damaged due to the high voltage used. So immediately they contacted to the Refrigeration repair Santa Barbara ( santabarbarahvaccontractor.com/ ) and tried to look after the issue.

I can remember when I was in the navy it was always a brit or an aussie that always won the drinking contests. Officially frowned upon but unofficially condoned. Yep I am in the three beer realm today myself.

Yeah been there too. But today I think 3 beers would do the trick- haven't had one in 14 years- never had an issue - except the hungover recovery time took twice as long - so I said "That's All Folks"

That's really hard to do.

For a valid test ya'gotta' a do it before you jacked out of shape and start falling off the bar stool, can't spell your own name twice the same way and all the girls are pretty at closing time.

Johnr; you gave me great things to ponder about the next time I get crosseyeded and ignorant on Shiner Bock I am going to try the hot rinsed idea as many times as possible to confirm the taste test. I will let you know the results. For those that don't Know Shiner is made in Shiner tx And is/was **** a local beer until the word got out about it.

Here is one link I found in my Google search. Google is a friend of mine.

Seems 38 degree F is the optimal temp. Saw no reference to diff. temps for the various secrete sauces of the various beers, ales, etc in my search. But 38 F came up a lot. And that is the same temp the brew-master (never ice cold) want you to drink their cocktails & they want you to pour the beer/ale right down the middle of the glass 'til the liquid is about 1/3 full & let it foam away - it mixes the various ingredients. And this will make even that low budget Panther **** beer taste better. Finally never drink beer our of recently soap washed glass, hot rinsed only. Al lthose bubbles you see is the beer reacting with the soap residue Now I know no one does this but try it and see if you can tell the diff. if you do - I found a difference and even made Pearl Light taste better - gotta' be from Texas to know Pearl Beer and their quiz caps. Had friends that entertained them selves all day drinking Pearl & trying to answer those quizzes.
Learned that brew-master stuff from calling on a Budweiser plant in Columbus, Ohio and that Pearl beer from great friends spending time on Lake Belton - near Ft. Hood, TX.

It depends on the materials and things you put. Some kegs require very specific temperatures. Warehouses that use [url=https://iawlogistics.co.uk/powered-mobile-racking/]powered mobile racking Wiltshire[/url] use temperature controls also for machineries.
