As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can confidently say that Boochcraft, unlike many other beverages, is not shelf stable. This means that we intentionally avoid adding additional preservatives or using flash pasteurization techniques to extend its shelf life. Instead, we rely on refrigeration to maintain the freshness and integrity of our product.
One of the key reasons why Boochcraft needs to be refrigerated is because each can is filled with real fruit. The inclusion of real fruit in our brewing process gives our kombucha its vibrant and natural flavors. However, it also means that the fruit can spoil if not kept at the appropriate temperature. Refrigeration helps to slow down the natural decomposition process of the fruit, ensuring that our kombucha remains delicious and enjoyable.
Refrigeration also plays a crucial role in preserving the quality of the kombucha itself. The cold temperature helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and yeast, which can lead to fermentation and spoilage. By keeping Boochcraft refrigerated, we can maintain a consistent and stable product that is safe for consumption.
I personally have experienced the importance of refrigeration when it comes to beverages. I once left a bottle of kombucha out on the kitchen counter for a few days, thinking it would be fine. However, when I finally opened it, I was greeted with a strong, vinegary smell and a taste that was far from pleasant. This experience reinforced the fact that refrigeration is essential for preserving the freshness and flavors of kombucha.
To ensure that our customers receive the best possible experience, we recommend keeping Boochcraft refrigerated at all times. This includes both before and after opening the can. By doing so, you can enjoy our kombucha at its peak flavor and quality.
Boochcraft is not shelf stable and requires refrigeration to maintain its freshness and flavor. The inclusion of real fruit and the avoidance of preservatives make refrigeration essential for preserving the quality of our kombucha. So, be sure to keep your Boochcraft chilled and ready to enjoy whenever you're in need of a refreshing and flavorful beverage.
