AU
Measured from lab trial (§6.3). Default 0.020 if unknown.
§6.3 Calculation Method (SOP)
Lab Trial: Add caramel dropwise to 100 mL whiskey sample until target colour reached.
Formula: Caramel Required (L) = [Trial mL Added / 100] × Batch Volume (L)
Colour Delta: ΔAU = Target − Current absorbance at 430 nm
3 SOP Procedure Reference
6.1
Pre-Addition Checks
Verify whiskey in IBC, volume, and target colour spec. Confirm E150a grade & expiry date. Ensure caramel at room temperature. Calibrate dosing equipment (500g weights available).
6.2
Caramel Preparation
Shake/stir container before use. If viscosity high, warm to 30–40°C max (indirect heating only). Record caramel density if required.
6.3
Lab Trial & Calculation
Take 100 mL whiskey sample. Add caramel dropwise to achieve target colour. Record mL added — use above calculator to scale to full batch. Cross-verify with colour specification limits.
6.4
Caramel Addition
Start gentle agitation in tank/IBC. Add caramel slowly near agitator vortex. Mix for 20–30 minutes. Take initial sample, visually check colour. Adjust in increments ≤10% of initial dose.
6.5
Post-Addition Mixing
Continue mixing 15 minutes for homogeneity. Rest whiskey 30–60 minutes for colour stabilisation. Collect samples for testing.
7
Quality Control
Visual colour check vs. approved batch OR spectrophotometer at 430 nm. ABV via Anton-Par — caramel drop should be <0.05%. Conduct 24-hour stability check: no sediment, no colour separation, no haze.
9
Documentation Required
Complete 5.01.03 Caramel Colouring Record v003 and 5.04.02 ABV Calibration checks & Result. All liquid must be signed off by Liquid Manager & Quality Specialist before bottling.
