PRESSURE
DISPENSING PRESSURES DIFFER ACCORDING TO:
• The type of draft dispensing system
• The length of draft dispensing line
• The actual product - some require more, some require less
• The temperature of the product
• The pressurizing agent: air pressure, CO2 or special blended gases
HELPFUL HINTS ON MAINTAINING THE CORRECT PRESSURE
• Know which pressurizing agent to use on which product and why
• Monitor your regulators to ensure applied pressure remains constant
• Keep equipment in good repair
TAPPING
Do not agitate the kegs unnecessarily. If excessive agitation occurs allow kegs to settle for 1 to 2 hours
before tapping. Prior to tapping the keg, ensure that all beer faucet in the serving location are in the off
position. Completely remove the dust cover (identification cap) from the keg.
