SOUR BEER 

 

May taste and smell extremely yeasty or moldy

 

Cause  

 

 

 

Corrections 

  Contaminated Air Line. 

#1 

  See Cloudy Beer, Correction #3 

  See Off-Taste Beer, Correction #2 

  See Flat Beer, Correction #7 

  Improper  transportation  of  barrels  of 

beer,  Beer  delivered  on  open  truck 
during  high  summer  temperatures, 
may 

be 

the 

cause 

of 

starting 

secondary fermentation. 

#2 

  If at all possible, deliver beer barrels in closed body, 

refrigerated truck. If open staked body truck is used, 
cover  barrels  with  a  tarpaulin  for  protection  against 
summer heat, and circulating warm air. 

  Truck  should  never  be  loaded  the  night  before 

morning  delivery,  unless  beer  is  refrigerated  in 
truck. 

  No refrigeration and improper rotation. 

#3 

  The rule is first barrel in, first tapped. 

  Refrigeration must be left on winter or summer. 

  Sour  beer  is  generated  as  a  result  of  secondary 

fermentation,  above  45  degrees.  Retail  outlets  that 
do not have refrigeration should ice up barrels, or at 
least cover barrels with tarpaulin or burlap bags. 

  Best temperature for barrels is 38° to 40°F. 

 
 

WILD BEER 

 

Beer, when drawn, is all foam, or too much foam, and not enough liquid beer. 

 

Cause 

 

 

 

 

Corrections 

  Improper drawing beer into glass. 

#1 

  Open faucet quickly and completely. 

  Check and find the correct distance to hold glass from 

faucet  when  drawing.  Proper  foam  should  be  a  tight, 
creamy  head,  and  the  collar  on  the  average  glass 
should be ¾ “ to 1” high.  

 

  Yeast growth, or other 

obstructions in faucet. 

  Worn faucet parts and worn 

faucet washers. 

#2 

  Clean  faucet  spout  with  a  good  brush  daily.  Scour  all 

internal faucet parts at least once a week. 

  Replace worn washers as required. If faucet does not 

open  wide,  worn  parts  or  entire  faucet  must  be 
replaced. 

  Kinks, dents, or twists  in  coils,  or 

direct  draw  lines:  obstructions  in 
line, near, or behind faucet. 

#3 

  Check for, and replace kinked, dented, or twisted line 

from barrel to faucet. 

  Examine for frayed coupling washer behind faucet that 

may cause obstruction. 

  Sag, or trap in line. 

#4 

  Keep all metal beer lines straight from barrel to faucet; 

never  permit  lines  to  sag,  as  this  creates  traps  that 
may cause wild beer. 

  Beer too warm at faucet. 

  Beer too warm in Coil System. 

#5 

  Temperature  at  faucet  must  always  be  at  least  2 

degrees colder than at barrel.
