COOLING THE TORP
For an optimum temperature, only serve the beer when the temperature indicator has
changed to green .
If the TORP and SUB are at room temperature (71 .6°F), cooling of the beer to a temperature of
35 .6°F inside the SUB takes around 10 hours .
However, if THE TORP has been stored in the fridge overnight, this time frame can be
reduced significantly (several hours) .
The temperature of the beer in THE TORP has direct impact on the level of foam: the beer
should be served sufficiently cold, when the temperature indicator is green .
IMPORTANT: never store a TORP in the freezer as this could cause leakage due to
freezing of the beer.
INSTALLING THE TORP IN THE SUB
Unscrew the cover of THE TORP (4) . The tube is stored inside the cap of THE TORP (5) .
Place the tube connector in the opening of THE TORP until you hear a click (6) . THE TORP
is now ready to use . You can place it in THE SUB by following these steps:
- Open the door of THE SUB by turning the handle counterclockwise (follow the red
arrow on the machine) (7) .
- Open the door completely (8) .
- Push THE TORP into THE SUB (9) .
- Open the tap cover, slip the tube through the tap and insert the tube spout into the
tap (10 - 11).
- Close the door . Turn the handle clockwise until it is locked in place (12) .
- Close the tap cover (12) .
THE TORP is correctly installed, the temperature indicator is red marking the start of the
cooling phase. When it is green, the beer is ready to be served (13) .
When you close the door, THE SUB checks the pressure inside THE TORP and activates
the pump each time the pressure is insufficient .
IMPORTANT: do not unload a TORP until it is completely empty. A TORP that has
been unloaded from THE SUB is depressurized. Therefore, the beer quality is no
longer guaranteed.
PREPARING THE GLASS
To pour the perfect beer, it is essential to use a clean cold glass . Rinse your glass with cold
water before serving the beer .
This will prevent the beer from warming up in the glass as well as the creation of too much foam .
We recommend you use the Heineken glasses available at www.the-sub.com.
SERVING THE BEER
- Incline your glass at an angle of 45° with respect to the tap .
- Pull the handle quickly forward as far as it will go . Then gradually straighten the glass
as it fills (14-15-16) .
When serving from THE TORP, there is more foam in the first glass than in the following
glasses . To limit the quantity of foam in the first glass, we recommend pouring 3/4 of an inch
of foam, then clean this glass and restart pouring the beer .
