Troubleshooting - beer quality
Problem Possible cause Possible solution
Excess formation of
foam “head.” Beer is all
foam, or too much foam
and not enough liquid
beer.
Recent keg agitation. If the keg has recently been moved, let it stand a minimum of
two hours before tapping.
Improper regulator setting. Verify that the (CO
2
) pressure is reading between 10 and 12 PSI.
The Internal temperature of
the kegerator is too warm.
Make sure that the kegerator is cooling 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 to draw beer.
Pressure build up. Activate the pressure relief valve located on the keg coupler for
three seconds.
Flat beer - no formation
of foam. The foamy
head disappears quickly
and the beer lacks its
usual zestful brewery
fresh flavor.
Improper draw technique. See “Dispensing Beer.”
Improper regulator setting. Make sure that the (CO
2
) pressure is reading between
10 and 12 PSI.
Glassware is not clean enough. Residue on glassware in the form of oils quickly dissolves the
formation of foam. Make sure that the glassware is clean.
Dispensing hose too long. All recommended temperatures and gauge settings are
calculated for a five foot hose. Use a shorter hose.
No beer flow from the
beer faucet.
Low/Empty CO
2
tank. Make sure that the CO
2
tank has pressure.
Closed CO
2
valve and/or
shutoff valve.
Make sure that both the CO
2
tank and regulator shutoff valve
are open.
Empty beer keg. Replace beer keg.
Line or dispenser obstructions. Verify that there are no kinks or obstructions in either the air
line or the dispenser line and that neither are frozen.
Improper connections(s). Make sure that all connections are secure and all seals are in
place and in good condition.
Sputtering draw. System requires cleaning. See “Maintaining your kegerator/beverage cooler.”
Keg tap installed incorrectly. Check seal between the keg the faucet.
Obstructions in the line or
dispenser.
Verify that there are no obstructions in either the air line or
dispenser line and that neither are frozen.
Improper draw technique. See “Dispensing Beer.”
Faucet dripping. Handle not fully returned to
close position.
After every pour, make sure that the handle is returned to the
off position.
Faucet requires cleaning. See “Maintaining your kegerator/beverage cooler.”
Rapid CO
2
tank
discharge.
Improper connection causing
an air line leak.
Make sure that all lines are properly connected and/or check air
line for possible leaks.
Difficulty manipulating
faucet handle.
Faucet requires cleaning. See “Maintaining your kegerator/beverage cooler.”
Damaged faucet handle. Remove the faucet handle and connector nuts and inspect for
