How Do Kegerators Help Achieve the Perfect Pour?

Kegerators have multiple advantages over the plain beer keg. Not only do they keep your beer cool for several months, they also contain a mounted faucet to aid in pouring.

What are the causes of foamy beer?

There are several reasons your beer may be pouring out too foamy:

-Beer is not at the proper temperature

-Poor pouring. For best results, always use a clean glass to avoid cloudy beer. Hold the glass under the faucet at a 45º angle, then open the faucet. Do not let the faucet touch the beer or inside of the glass. When the beer has reached the midpoint of the glass, slowly tilt it upright and continue pouring so you have a small 1" layer of foam. Quickly close the faucet to avoid overflow. 

-Creeping regulator

-Applied pressure is set too high. Lower the CO2 pressure going into the keg. Turn off the CO2 tank, pull the relief valve for about 3 seconds, then wait about 15 minutes before turning it back on.

-Hot spots in the line

-Use of non-insulated or old beer lines

-Beer runs are too long for proper cooling. The full length of beer tubing needs to be refrigerated. Beer lines longer than 6' may cause issues that lead to foamy beer.

-Tapped into a warm keg

-Clogged faucet. Remember to keep all parts of your kegerator clean. If the faucet is clogged, remove it, soak it in hot water, and clean with a brush before replacing.

-Worn parts in faucet. Check for worn washers and replace as needed.

-Kinks, dents, twists, or other obstructions in the line

-Faucets in bad, dirty, or worn condition
