Temperature monitoring for alcohol Multi-use temperature data logger with an LCD screen
About the conditions that alcohol need to be shipped in, first and foremost, temperature control is vital. Most alcoholic beverages, especially beer, are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. They should be stored and transported at a consistent temperature to maintain their quality and prevent spoilage. Generally, a temperature range of 3 to 8°C is recommended for beer, while wines and spirits are best kept around 12 to 18°C. In addition to temperature control, proper packaging is crucial. Beer and alcohol should be packaged in sturdy containers that can withstand the rigors of transportation. Bottles should be securely sealed to prevent leakage or breakage during transit. It’s also important to use appropriate cushioning materials to protect the products from any potential impact or vibration during shipping.
If alcohol is exposed to extreme temperatures, it can lead to spoilage, affecting the taste, aroma, and overall quality of the product. For example, excessive heat can cause beer to become skunky or develop off-flavors. Similarly, exposure to freezing temperatures can cause wine to expand and potentially break the bottle. Prolonged exposure of wine to heat can lead to: Accelerated development (premature ageing); color change and loss of acidity, freshness or zestiness. While prolonged exposure to extreme cold conditions can lead to tartaric crystal precipitation and package or closure damage if freezing occurs.
For monitoring the temperature of alcohol, TagPlus-T is a multi-use temperature data logger with an LCD screen for easy viewing of temperature data. In this device, parameters can be configured by a professional user before use. Complete trip history is recorded and downloaded as encrypted reports with summary data, graphs, and tables, the report can be directly read by PC at the destination. And the temporary mode allows the device to continue working after users have generated and read the temporary report. This USB Temperature Sensor is an ideal choice for in-transit records of the temperature changes of sensitive goods.
