Tips
HOW TO GET A GREAT POUR
Pouring a proper glass of beer is very important, not only for presentation,
but for taste.
TIP:
Make sure your glassware is always clean and rinsed.
1
Hold the glass at a 45° angle.
2
Grasp the handle at the bottom and open the tap quickly.
3
Once your glass is half-full, gradually bring the glass upright, and aim for
the middle to start forming the head. Slowly lower the glass as you
approach your finish to improve the head even more.
4
When your glass is full, close the tap quickly.
USE DIFFERENT GLASSES FOR DIFFERENT BEERS
You wouldn’t believe how much a proper glass and temperature will change
the taste of your beer.

Assembling your kegerator (cont.)
INSTALLING THE KEG COUPLER
This kegerator accepts almost all brand name kegs. Here's what will fit in
your kegerator:
1
Insert the sankey keg coupler into the neck of the beer keg and turn it
clockwise to lock it into position. Make sure that the washer is in the
connector on the top of the sankey keg coupler.
2
Insert the beer tube into the top of the sankey keg coupler, then
tighten the wing nut.
3
Pull the black handle on the sankey keg coupler and press it
downward until it locks into position. The keg is now tapped.
Note
: If beer comes up through the top of the wing nut, remove the wing nut,
reposition the washer, then reattach the wingnut.
4
Insert the keg into the kegerator.

Make sure that the shut-off valve is closed (sideways if closed, down if
open), then slowly turn the main valve on the CO
2
tank
counter-clockwise until it is fully open.
2
Open the shut-off valve to allow gas to flow into the keg.
3
Release the adjustment lock nut, behind the regulator screw, by
turning it clockwise about 5-7 turns.

Turn the regulator screw clockwise to increase pressure. The needle on
the gauge starts to climb. Set the gauge to 10-12 PSI.
5
When the tank is at the correct pressure, tighten the adjustment lock
nut by turning it counter-clockwise.
6
Allow several minutes for the keg to pressurize. The gauge may show a
drop in pressure while this happens. Adjust as needed.
Note
: Listen for a hissing sound at all connections to determine if there are any leaks.
7
Plug the kegerator into a 120V, 60Hz, 15A grounded outlet.
