Powdered mixes are also available, which can be reconstituted with water. This is a common misconception, that increasing overrun will increase profits. The overrun in gravity fed equipment may fluctuate, depending on the draw conditions. During low or no-draw periods, the overrun will tend to be lower than normal for your particular mix. During peak, or high demand draw periods, the overrun may be higher than normal.
Overrun affects the taste, color and mouthfeel of a given product.
Increasing overrun in a product will lessen the flavor and color, and give a light, fluffy texture. Decreasing overrun heightens flavor and color, and tends to be more refreshing to the mouth. The proper overrun should be determined by taste and visual appearance for consumer preference for the mix you select. Overall, mix cost can be easier controlled with a pressurized machine, but the impact is generally less dramatic than expected. Taylor offers both pressurized and gravity to assure providing what is best for your application.
