Keep the Brew Flowing with Praxair’s Gas Supply for Craft Beer Brewers
When it comes to craft brewing, every detail matters. Beyond hops, yeast and barley, an essential ingredient to the “perfect pint” is gas supply. An uninterrupted gas supply enables you to keep existing customers happy while helping you expand your reach. The right gas supplier can help make you more competitive and help boost profits by enhancing productivity and output.
Praxair’s gases provide the product characteristics that our customers need. Chilled, fresh, fizzy — it’s all possible with Praxair gases and application expertise. When you buy from Praxair, you get our total system approach, ensuring that you receive products optimized for your operations and 24/7 support from our in-house beverage technologists and engineers.
With gases from Praxair, every pint can be delivered at brewery quality with a better presentation and a longer lasting head. A high-quality gas supply can help kegs stay fresher and properly carbonated. It can also reduce the problem of waiting for foamy beer to settle and reduce waste associated with over-carbonation.
Having a constant flow of gas is another major concern for this market. Any interruptions to gas flow can cost thousands of dollars in short-term losses, as well as potential longer-term losses due to customer dissatisfaction. Praxair microbulk and bulk CO2 and nitrogen gas supply systems replace high-pressure gas cylinders with a high-quality continuous gas supply. Praxair cellular telemetry eliminates the possibility of product runouts and cylinder handling that can interrupt your business. Replacing the on-hand cylinders with a single microbulk or bulk tank, frees up valuable floor space and minimizes the time spent with cylinder deliveries and cylinder inventory.
In addition to high-quality gas supply systems, you can depend upon Praxair for the planning and installation expertise, gas delivery equipment and piping needed for your specific facility and processes.
