6 Usage instructions
HELPFUL HINTS TO ASSIST YOU IN SERVING THE PERFECT GLASS OF COLD BEER
6.1 Storage and handling
Draught Beer should be immediately stored in a refrigerated cabinet.
Draught Beer products have a shelf life, which on "average" is 30 days
after the keg is tapped.
By keeping the beer keg pressurized, (with CO2) the shelf life can be
extended (60 days)
6.2. Beer temperature
Optimum temperatures for serving cold beer are 3-5C (36-40F)
Temperatures too cool or too warm may cause flavor loss, off taste and
dispensing problems.
6.3. CO2 pressure
Periodically monitor the pressure regulators to ensure applied operating
pressures remain constant.
(10~12psi/lbs)
6.4. Tapping keg
Do not agitate kegs unnecessarily. If excessive agitation occurs (during
transportation) allow keg to settle for 1 ~2 hours before tapping.
Prior to tapping the keg, ensure the beer faucet is in the off position.
Completely remove the dust cover (identification cap) from the beer
keg.
Check that the keg coupler (handle) is in the up (off) position.
Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer keg and apply a
turn clockwise to lock into position.
Pull keg coupler handle out and downward until it locks into position.
This activates both the beer and (CO2) pressure line.
The keg is now tapped and ready to draw beer.
