•
Rinse the tap out under running water. You should also clean it with a mild
detergent solution and rinse it thoroughly.
•
Clean the lines as directed above under “Tapping your first mini keg”
Note that the optional accessories include a cleaning kit that uses CO
2
pressure to
force the cleaning solution through the lines. To use this system, fill the cleaning kit
half full with your choice of cleaning solution (water mixed with a bit of beer line
cleaner, baking soda, or white vinegar), connect it to the unit as if it were a non-
pressurized mini keg, and pour out all of the solution. Make sure to rinse the lines
again!
Operation
1. For best results, use clean glasses. Rinsing the glasses with cold water prior to
pouring can deliver better results (less foam).
2. Hold the glass at an angle under the dispenser. Do not touch the nozzle of the
dispenser to the glass.
3. Pull the dispenser handle towards you to start the flow of beer. Open the dispenser
up all the way to get the maximum flow rate (this will decrease foam).
4. Slowly tip the glass upright as it fills.
5. Gently ease the dispenser handle back to the “closed” position as the foam nears the
lip of the glass.
6. Enjoy your beer!
Note: If you are enjoying a non-pressurized mini keg, you may adjust the pressure for
maximum enjoyment. Here are our suggestions:
Beer type
CO2 content in %
Pressure (@ approx. 41°F)
German beers
+/- 0.5
+/- 0.4 - 0.5 bars
French beers
+/- 0.6 - 0.8
+/- 0.8 bars
Very fermented brown ales
+/- 0.6 - 0.8
+/- 0.8 - 1 bars
Cleaning
You should clean the lines after every keg. The instructions for this are under the
heading “Tapping your first mini keg”.
For cleaning the other parts of the unit, a damp cloth with a mild detergent solution is
best.
