3. Typical Service Issues
Beer is Pouring Heady
•
Faulty Keg Coupler - If the seal on the shaft of the coupler fails it will allow CO2 past
and into the drop lead, filling the line with CO2.
•
Beer temperature is too warm - check the Ice bank Bath Temperature. – Refer 6.6 –
Ice bank Bath temperature increase.
•
Over Carbonated Beer – Check CO2 pressures are as per settings recorded on the
Commissioning Sheet. The keg may have also been tapped for too long.
Beer is not Pouring
•
Keg Coupler is not engaged - check the keg coupler in the cool-room to see if the
coupler handle is fully engaged. Damaged handle pivots sometimes prevent this...
•
Gas System turned OFF - check if the bottle is turned on and ensure there is CO2 in
the bottle.
•
Beer Frozen in the Stainless Steel Coils – Check the coils are clear of the Ice bank. If
it is in the ice, turn off the unit and call your refrigeration mechanic. .
Beer is Pouring Flat
•
Beer temperature is too cold
- Indicated by having to really work the beer to form a
head. If beer temperature in the glass is too cold, the CO2 will want to stay in
solution.
•
Beer glasses are too cold
- The beer glasses are being kept in sub zero conditions -
Increase temperature of the Glass Chillers.
•
Beer glasses are dirty
- The beer pours into the glass fine but the head does not last
very long - check your cleaning procedure of glasses.
•
Faulty Keg
– The seal on the keg has let all CO2 out and the beer in the keg is flat.
Beer is Pouring Slow
•
Gas System is turned OFF
- check to see if the bottle is turned on.
•
Gas Bottle Empty
- Confirm there is adequate pressure in the bottle.
•
Beer may be starting to freeze
- usually only happens with the Low Alcohol Beers
with ice crystals forming. Check the coils are clear of the Ice bank. If it is in the ice,
turn off the unit and call your refrigeration mechanic.
