Select and maintain the proper temperature inside the refrigerator cabinet. This is
necessary to maintain the flavor freshness of the beer. Adding additional un-
refrigerated products, such as meats, vegetables, fish, etc. while attempting to
chill beer will cause a fluctuation in the temperature, resulting in cloudy beer.
•
The recommended temperature for storing and serving chilled beer is between
the high 30s and mid 40s. These temperatures apply whether the beer is a
domestic beer or an imported one. The
same holds true whether or not the draft
beer is pasteurized. Beer stored
between the high 30s and mid 40s will
retain the level of carbonation that was
created during the brewing process.
Note: During summer months, adjust the
temperature control to a cooler setting
accordingly.
•
If a sour taste (vinegar-like or lemon-
like) occurs after drinking your beer, this
is the result of secondary fermentation
which occurs when the beer is kept at a
temperature above high the 40s.
Furthermore, allowing keg beer to warm
up will cause the carbonation to be
released from the beer while it is still in
the keg, resulting in foaming. The
foaming occurs because the pressure
being applied to the keg is no longer
enough to keep the carbonation in the
beer.
•
On the other hand, having the beer too
cold causes the carbonation to stay in the beer. This results in poured beer
appearing hazy or cloudy.
The ideal method for monitoring the liquid temperature (inside the keg) is done by use of
a liquid thermometer. Such thermometers are enclosed in a casing filled with liquid; this
provides a constant accurate reading of the liquid (beer) temperature within the
refrigerator. Contact EdgeStar customer service online via email at

Understanding Beer Temperature
Note: Thermometers should be
placed in liquid inside the
cabinet in order to accurately
measure the temperature of the
keg in the cooler. The
temperature of the beer at the
faucet should also be
measured to determine if the
beer is warming up as it travels
through the system from the
keg to the faucet. If this occurs
check your lines for warm spots
along them, and adjust
accordingly. To check the
dispense temperature, simply
pour beer into a glass and use
a thermometer to read the
temperature – in a proper
system this will match the liquid
temperature inside the Draft
Beer Dispenser.
