GLASS CARE

Glassware can have a big impact on the quality of your dispense product.  No customer likes to be served a poor pint, so here’s what you need to know to keep your pints and pint glasses in the best possible condition: 

 

Glasses aren’t actually smooth

Glassware can have either enamel or laser-etched nucleation. This is manufactured n to the base of the glass and is designed to break out the CO2 from the liquid in order to maintain the perfectly formed head from pour.

 

Say goodbye to flat, fobbing pints

Too much glass wash detergent or the wrong type, can lead to a flat pour. On the other hand, warm glasses that haven’t been allowed to dry and cool off can lead to fobbing.

 

Keep your glasses in a cool place where they can breathe

Place them inverted on a plastic lattice (preferably 3mm in depth). And don’t stack glasses - that’s just asking for trouble.

 

Don’t bin your dirty old glasses just yet

There are glass renovator products available that can help keep your glassware good as new. We recommend renovating your glassware every 4 – 6 weeks. Just make sure you follow the instructions, and give them a normal wash afterwards.

Use a cool, fresh & DRY glass for each pour

Makes sense, no?

 

Always wait for the washer to reach the right temperature

That should be between 55-65 C, however please refer to your glass washer’s indicator light, as this will let you know when it’s ready to go.

 

Take good care of the machine

Clean the filter, unblock the spray jets every day, and leave the door open at the end of the day. Also remember that your washer itself can get dirty. Have a visible check in your machine for signs of dirt or mould - if you see any then it’s time for a deep clean of the machine.

 

A glass-only washer

In short, no ashtrays, no mugs, no foreign objects should make their way into your glass-washing machine. It can also be of benefit to proportion your glassware washing to high-volume brands.

 

Remove lipstick smears by hand

Preferably with a Quash cleaner. Sorry about that. Guess it’s the price you have to pay for beauty.

 

Let the glasses dry and cool for AS LONG AS YOU CAN before using them

Remember to rotate your glassware and don’t touch them while they’re drying off.
