About Briess: Recommended handling
& storage procedures for liquid ingredients
Suggestion 1: Receiving
Product
1) Designate responsibility to one person.
2) Inspect condition of both delivering trailer and load.
3) Query driver on what other products were bi-loaded.
4) Inspect each pail, drum, tote, etc., as it is unloaded for dents, scratches,
leaks, etc. If contamination is suspected, stop unloading. If loss of product is
involved, customer should sign the Bill of Lading attesting to the exceptions,
then notify Briess Customer Service Department immediately.
5) All shipments from Briess are palletized and stretch wrapped. Full truckload
shipments have a cable lock seal on the trailer. If shipment is not palletized
and/or shrink wrapped upon arrival, please note on Bill of Lading and advise
Briess Customer Service Deparatment immediately. In this case, palletize before
storage.
Suggestion 2: Storage Area
1) Store in accordance with Good Manufacturing Procedures. 2) Best stored in
temperatures of 70-80 ºF or lower.
3) Avoid storing at temperatures 90 ºF or above which can cause color
development and possible sensory changes.
Suggestion 3: Product Storage
1) Stack two pallets high at maximum. This still allows convenient inspection on
top of stack.
2) Pallets can be placed side by side in rows, but an 18-inch aisle should be
left between rows and walls so that it is convenient to inspect and clean.
Suggestion 4: Product Usage
1) Rotate inventory to use first-in, first-out.
2) If a container is opened for quality purposes, use the product as soon as
possible. Liquid malt extract acts as a culture for airborne mold and yeast.
