Abstract
A hybrid postmix beverage mixing and dispensing system wherein a beverage is mixed at an account from carbonated water and syrup, the brix ratio of which is precisely controlled by the use of a ratio proportioning pump. The mixed beverage is then delivered to a stabilizing tank, to stabilize the beverage and minimize problems with foaming thereof during dispensing. A single product delivery line then extends from the stabilizing tank to a relatively simple two way valve at the dispensing counter or station. The system is repeated for each different flavor available at the account.
