Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s Get Down to It

  • Why Is My Beer Foamy?

    There are many reasons for foamy beer but the most common are either incorrect pressure or warm temperature.

  • Why Does My Beer Smell/Taste Sour?

    The buildup of yeast, mold, and bacteria within the lines and faucets can contaminate all the beer that passes through the system giving it a sour smell/taste.

  • What Else Can I Put on Tap?

    Red wine, white wine, filtered water, sparkling carbonated water and kombucha.

  • How Often Should I Clean My Draft Beer Lines?

    In some states it is required by law to clean your lines every 7-14 days. Although there is no current regulation in Canada, we recommend a maximum of 4 weeks between line cleanings.

  • How Do You Pour the Perfect Beer?

    Starting with a clean rinsed glass, start pouring against the side of a glass that is tilted at 45 degrees, gradually turn the glass upright when the glass reaches 3/4 full. 1″ of head is ideal for most lagers in standard glasses.

  • What Temperature Should My Keg Cooler Be?

    Kegs should be stored in a dedicated keg cooler at 36F-38F.

  • How Long Does It Take to Cool Down a Keg Beer?

    It usually takes 2 hours for every degree to cool down a keg of beer. We use a benchmark of 24 hours to cool the keg to ideal temperature.

  • What Is the Ideal Serving Temperature of Beer?

    Draft beer should be served at a cool 38F.

  • What Is Beerstone?

    Beerstone is the scale buildup of calcium oxalate and protein from all draft beer on the walls of the draftline, that can only be removed with proper chemical agents.
