What’s the ideal temperature range for a bottle cooler?

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.
