This FAQ is designed for a fast answer first. Use the related guide links if you need the fuller decision path behind the short version.
For most bars, set a bottle cooler to serve drinks cold without freezing or dulling flavour:
Beer, cider, RTDs, soft drinks: typically 3°C to 6°C for ready-to-serve stock.
If you are using the unit mainly as buffer storage (not immediate service), a slightly higher setpoint can reduce icing risk and energy use.
Tips that matter in real service:
Avoid setting unnecessarily low temperatures in a busy bar. It can increase frosting/icing and make the system work harder.
Allow time after loading warm stock for the unit to pull down before expecting “serve cold” temperatures.
