Abstract
Hard seltzer and other ready‐to‐drink blends of carbonated water, alcohol, and flavoring are popular with consumers looking for low calorie, low carbohydrate, gluten‐free alcoholic beverages. When adding hard seltzer to your production capabilities, filtration and stabilization options should be considered carefully. The options you choose can have a significant impact on operation efficiency and profitability. This guide is for small to medium-sized producers of hard seltzer and similar ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages and offers recommendations for filtration, carbon to remove aroma and flavor, and VelcorinTM for microbial stability.
