When dispensing beer into the glass, if you find that the beer is Cloudy, Flat, Bubbly, Off-Taste, POOR QUALITY BEER Sour, Wild or Tail-End Beer, refer to some of the following hints. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Cloudy Beer. The beer in the glass appears hazy, and not clear. • Excessively low temperatures may cause hazy or cloudy beer, particularly when the beer lies in the cold coil for long periods of time. • The beer faucet was only opened partially. • Make certain that the lines are thoroughly cleaned and then raise the temperature slightly. • Open the faucet quickly and completely. • Replace any worn washers and parts in the faucet when necessary to allow the faucet to be fully opened. Flat Beer. Beer lacks its usual breweryfresh flavor. The foamy head disappears quickly. • The glass is greasy. • Improper drawing of beer into the glass. • Not enough pressure. • Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that have contained milk or any other fatty substance. An excessive amount of germicide build-up may also leave a fatty film, which will cause beer to go flat. • It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses where health laws permit. • Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent to remove all fatty substances (i.e. lipstick). • Do not use soap. • Do not wipe the glasses dry. Permit glasses to air- dry by placing them on a wire rack or on corrugated metal. • Rinse the glasses in fresh cold water just before serving beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass. • Open the faucet quickly and completely. • Proper foam should be a tight creamy head. The collar on the average glass should be 3/4" to 1" high. Beer drawn without head has the appearance of being flat. • Increase the pressure if beer runs too slowly. The correct flow should fill a 10oz. glass in 4 seconds. (Approx. 8oz. of liquid) • Check the pressure source to determine whether there are obstructions in the air line. • Replace a sluggish air source or the CO2 regulator and gauge. • The tank pressure must always be higher than the pressure used on the keg. • Always apply pressure to the keg before drawing beer. 13
