Maintaining rigorous sanitation standards in cider production isn't just good practice—it's essential for food safety compliance and product quality. This Cider Press Sanitation Inspection Checklist template provides cider makers, beverage producers, and quality control teams with a structured approach to documenting equipment cleaning, verifying pasteurization temperatures, and assessing bottle filling systems.

Built for craft cideries and beverage producers

Whether you're running a small craft cidery or managing quality control at a larger beverage production facility, this template helps you maintain consistent inspection standards. Document equipment cleaning protocols, track pasteurization temperature logs, verify sanitizer concentrations, and assess bottle filling line conditions—all in one organized form.

The template captures critical details including inspector information, inspection dates, equipment serial numbers, temperature readings, and corrective actions, creating a complete audit trail for regulatory compliance and internal quality assurance.

Automate your quality control workflows

Once you've captured inspection data, Paperform integrates seamlessly with your existing systems. Push inspection results to Google Sheets or Airtable for trending analysis, send alerts to Slack when critical violations are identified, or use Stepper to automatically route failed inspections to supervisors for immediate corrective action plans.

For cideries managing multiple production sites or contract manufacturing relationships, this form provides standardized documentation that travels with your products and satisfies regulatory requirements from TTB, FDA, and state beverage control boards.
