We Understand Beverage Production
Beverage production doesn\'t stop because your gas supplier didn\'t deliver. Whether you\'re packaging a new batch, carbonating for a release, or keeping your taproom flowing, your gas supply is critical to operations.
That\'s why breweries, cideries, wineries, and beverage producers work with CO2 Masters—one consistent point of contact, beverage-grade quality, and delivery coordinated around your production schedule.

Gas Solutions for Beverage Production
CO2 for Carbonation
Applications:
- Primary carbonation in bright tanks
- Natural carbonation support
- Forced carbonation
- Carbonation of cider, seltzer, sparkling wine
- Adjusting carbonation levels
Why it matters:
Carbonation is fundamental to most beverages. Beverage-grade CO2 ensures purity and consistency. Food-grade CO2 is required for anything that touches consumable products.
CO2 for Dispensing
Applications:
- Taproom draft systems
- Keg dispensing
- Growler filling stations
- Off-site kegs and events
Why it matters:
Proper dispensing pressure maintains carbonation and prevents oxidation. Mixed-gas systems (CO2/nitrogen) serve specific beer styles correctly.
CO2 for Packaging
Applications:
- Can line purging
- Bottle line inerting
- Headspace flushing
- Preventing oxidation during packaging
Why it matters:
Oxygen is the enemy of shelf life. CO2 purging and inerting protect your product quality during packaging and extend shelf life.
Nitrogen for Specialty Beverages
Applications:
- Nitrogenated beers (stouts, porters, IPAs)
- Nitro cold brew coffee
- Wine preservation
- Mixed-gas dispensing (beer gas)
Why it matters:
Nitrogen creates the smooth, creamy mouthfeel in nitro beers and coffee. It also preserves wine by displacing oxygen. Different nitrogen/CO2 ratios serve different beverage styles.
Nitrogen for Packaging
Applications:
- Can and bottle purging
- Headspace inerting
- Alternative to CO2 for non-carbonated beverages
- Wine bottling
Why it matters:
For beverages where CO2 carbonation isn't desired (wines, nitro beer cans), nitrogen provides inerting without affecting carbonation levels.
Never Use Industrial-Grade Gas for Beverages
Food/Beverage Grade:
- • 99.9%+ purity
- • Meets FDA standards
- • Produced and stored in food-contact equipment
- • Required for ANY beverage application
Industrial Grade:
- • Lower purity (99.5%+)
- • May contain trace contaminants
- • Not safe or legal for beverage use
- • Cheaper, but NEVER acceptable for production
Using industrial-grade CO2 or nitrogen in beverages violates food safety regulations, can contaminate your product, risks your brand reputation, and can cause health issues. Always verify you\'re receiving food-grade gas.
Why Beverage Producers Choose CO2 Masters
Beverage-Grade Quality
We provide food-grade CO2 and nitrogen that meet FDA standards for beverage contact. No industrial-grade gases in your product—ever. Your beverage quality depends on it.
Production Schedule Coordination
Canning line running Tuesday? Big release on Friday? We coordinate delivery around your production schedule, not the other way around.
One Point of Contact
Whether you're a single-location brewery or a growing beverage brand with production and distribution facilities, you work with the same team every time.
Volume Flexibility
Starting small with a nano-brewery? Scaling to regional production? We work with operations of all sizes. As you grow, your gas supply grows with you.
Transparent Pricing
You need to budget for production costs. We provide clear pricing so you know what to expect. No surprise price increases once you're dependent on us.
Emergency & Rush Delivery
Unplanned canning run? Last-minute event keg order? If rush delivery is possible in your market, we'll make it happen. If not, we'll tell you immediately.
Common Beverage Production Scenarios
Scenario 1
Problem:
Can Line Runs Out of CO2 Mid-Run
Solution:
Packaging line stops halfway through batch, CO2 depleted. Emergency delivery if available in your market, or staged backup cylinders on-site for critical production days.
Scenario 2
Problem:
New Nitro Beer Program
Solution:
Brewery wants to add nitrogenated beers to lineup, needs nitrogen supply. Coordinate nitrogen delivery, help determine cylinder sizes, set up regular delivery schedule for taproom and packaging needs.
Scenario 3
Problem:
Seasonal Volume Spikes
Solution:
Summer means triple production volume and higher gas consumption. Adjust delivery frequency seasonally. Increase deliveries during peak production, scale back in slower seasons.
Scenario 4
Problem:
Multi-Location Expansion
Solution:
Brewery opens second production facility and taproom in different city. One point of contact coordinates delivery to both locations. Simplified ordering and invoicing.
Scenario 5
Problem:
Special Release Event
Solution:
Big release weekend with extra kegs for festival, need additional CO2. Coordinate extra cylinder delivery timed with event prep. Backup cylinders staged for weekend service.
Planning Your Gas Needs
CO2 Consumption Varies By:
- • Production volume (barrels/month)
- • Carbonation method (forced vs. natural)
- • Packaging volume
- • Taproom/tasting room size
- • Distribution (off-site kegs)
Small Operation (Nano/Micro)
- 2-5 barrels/week production
- Small taproom
- 50 lb cylinder every 2-4 weeks
Medium Operation (Microbrewery/Regional)
- 10-30 barrels/week production
- Active taproom
- Multiple 50 lb cylinders or bulk supply
- Weekly to bi-weekly delivery
High-Volume Operation
- 50+ barrels/week production
- Can/bottle line
- Large taproom
- Consider bulk CO2 tank
- Multiple deliveries per week or on-site storage
Best Practice: Keep backup cylinders on-site for critical production days (packaging runs, big releases, events). Nitrogen usage: Generally lower than CO2 unless running heavy nitro programs. One nitrogen cylinder often lasts longer than CO2.
