Tips for Cleaning Beer Glasses
For the freshest flavor, it is important to serve beer in clean glasses. For your
convenience, the following tips explain how to properly clean beer glasses before
serving beer.
• Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that have contained milk or any
other fatty substance.
• An excessive amount of germicide build-up will also leave a fatty film on the
glasses, which may cause flat beer.
• Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent to remove all fatty substances
(i.e. lipstick).
• Do not use soap.
• Do not wipe glasses dry. Allow glasses to air-dry by placing them on a wire rack
or on corrugated metal.
• Rinse in fresh cold water just before serving beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet
glass.
Two Simple Tests for Clean Beer Glasses
1. Wash the glasses using your usual method. Immerse the glass heel first in clean
water. Empty the glass. If water droplets cling to the glass or if spots appear on
the glass while pouring, the glass has not been cleaned properly. A clean glass
should air-dry crystal clear.
2. Again, wash the glass using your usual method. Pour out the water and then
shake salt into the wet glass. If salt does not cling to the entire inside wall of the
glass and clear unsalted spots remain, the glass is not clean.
For your convenience, this beer dispenser can be converted to an all-refrigerator
application. Simply follow the steps below for a quick and easy conversion.
Note:
When using as a refrigerator, we do not recommend the use of casters, as
stored items may fall off the shelves when the unit is in motion.
