TROUBLESHOOTING THE BEER DISPENSER Problem Excess formation of foam "head." Beer, when drawn is all foam, or too much foam and not enough liquid beer. Flat Draft, no formation of foam. Foamy head disappears quickly; beer lacks usual zestful brewery fresh flavor No beer flow from dispenser Possible Causes Recent keg agitation Improper regulator setting Internal temperature of the keg cabinet is too warm. Pressure build up Improper draw technique What To Do If the keg has recently been moved (transported), you should let it stand of a minimum of two 2 hours before tapping Verify that the (CO2) pressure is reading between 10 ~ 12 PSI Ensure that the keg cabinet is operating between the high 30s to mid 40s. If the beer keg has been exposed to a warm environment for an extended period, give it sufficient time to cool before attempting a pour. Activate the pressure relief valve that is located on the keg coupler for 3 seconds. See "Using Proper Draw Technique." Improper regulator setting. Glassware is not "Beer Clean" Elongated dispensing hose. Low/Empty CO2 cylinder. Closed CO2 valve and/or shutoff valve. Empty beer keg. Line or dispenser obstructions. Improper connections(s) Verify that the (CO2) pressure is reading between 10 ~ 12 PSI. Residue on glassware in the form of oils will quickly dissolve the formation of foam (See "Beer Clean Glassware" ) All recommended temperatures and gauge settings are calculated for a dispensing hose five (5) feet in length. Check to see if the CO2 tank has pressure Ensure that both the CO2 cylinder and regulator shutoff valve are open. Replace beer keg. Verify that there are no 'kinks' or obstructions in either the air line or dispenser line and that neither are frozen. Ensure all connections are secure and all seals are in place and in good condition. 14
