flavor of beer, making it unpalatable. These conditions, as described, may come from an air
source, or from actual contact with the glass at bar.
Causes Corrections

cleaning of coils, hose,
leads, and direct draw
system.



Taps, rods, and tap-Seal fitting should all be scoured, using a
detergent, then rinsed clean.

Direct draw Systems must be cleaned the same as coil
systems: 4 feet of direct draw line accumulates as much per
foot as any other system.
2

Contaminated Air Line.
Defective Thomas or
Tongue Bents.

Air hoses, air lines and vents, should be examined, and if
contaminated, replaced.

Dirty air lines should be washed with a good cleaning
compound, normally used for cleaning coils, and then rinsed
clean.

tubing is best for air since it does not absorb moisture, and is
not affected by oily substances.

of pressure.


Improper transportation
of barrels of beer, Beer
delivered on open truck,
during high summer
temperatures, may be
the cause for starting
secondary fermentation.

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.
3

No refrigeration, and
improper rotation.

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°.
