A charge is formed of beverage concentrate and water, and is introduced into a filling line having residual water present from cleaning or purging. The charge is removed from the filling line and transported into a recoupment tank which communicates with the line. The charge, which is only a small percentage of the total batch of beverage to be processed and filled, is slowly introduced into the filling line, combining minute proportions of the charge into the production run of blended beverage. The resulting blended beverage is within the required tolerances for a standard blend ratio, and no expensive concentrate is wasted on start up of the line.
