A start-up company engaged First Key to develop a unique hard seltzer product for the UK market. First Key’s work included developing the base liquid recipe, conducting trial brews and providing guidance in arranging contract brewing in the UK. Unique challenges involved adjusting recipe parameters based on differences in water profiles between site of trial work and the initial commercial brews. First Key provided the chemical and sensory analyses of the hard seltzer base liquid and the equipment requirements and support for the process and technology scale up, including the step-by-step procedure on how to make the hard seltzer recipe.
