Shelf Life
Having successfully mastered the draught dispense clean cycles, Cambridge Scientific Solutions turned to cask. Using our knowledge of microbial inhibition, the next challenge became to focus on the cask shelf life. As avid ale drinkers, the company is disappointed with the demise of the industry and loss of choice on the bar.
The latest inhibitors have extended the life cycle of 3 separate cask ales on trial significantly. The longest period is 21 days!

Give Casks the same amount of sale time as draught products!

The technology has been developed and designed to work specifically with the cask product.
Fitting Cask X™ in your cellar will give you an extended life cycle of each cask of up to 10 days.

“At Fishpond Hotel, we pride ourselves on delivering the freshest, highest-quality beer experience, and our recent Cask X Trial Program was no exception!

Our guests enjoyed a wide selection of premium cask ales, each served at peak freshness, with many of our popular choices selling out quickly. The trial showcased our commitment to offering an unparalleled beer experience, making Fishpond Hotel a true destination for cask
ale enthusiasts.”
“The Greyhound takes pride in serving the freshest, highest-quality cask ales, and our recent Cask X Trial Program truly demonstrated our commitment. We closely monitored two exceptional brews Quintessential Pale Ale (5.8% ABV) and Mercia Pale Ale (5.0% ABV) from Derby Brewery—over extended periods to ensure optimal quality and flavour.
Quintessential maintained a “very good” quality for 18 days, with a consistently clear appearance and superb condition, thanks to our precise temperature management and the use of cask race ventilators. Mercia impressed as well, holding peak quality for 16 days, with a perfect balance of clarity and freshness. This trial showcases our dedication to the craft, delivering outstanding cask ales that our patrons can count on. At The Greyhound, every pint is served to perfection!”
“At Masons Arms, we’re committed to serving only the best cask ale, and our recent Cask X Trial with Abbey Red (4.0% ABV) from Facers Brewery truly delivered. Over a 14-day period, Abbey Red maintained its exceptional quality, with a creamy head, clear clarity, and a consistently smooth taste that our customers loved.
Thanks to our advanced vertical extraction system, we achieved remarkable freshness and stability, with only minimal condition loss towards the end of the trial. This successful testing period reflects our dedication to quality, ensuring every pint served at Masons Arms is at its very best. Experience the difference of expertly cared-for cask ale with us!”
