tip: we recommend that you use your beer glasses for
drinking beer alone. Some beverages, like milk, leave a small
residue in the glass which will reduce the head on your beer.
step 2 – Dispensing beer
tip: Look at the control panel to check that the beer has
reached the right drinking temperature.
Position a glass beneath the tap, holding it at an angle of
45 degrees (see picture).
Firmly and quickly pull the handle down as far as it will
go. Let the beer run into the glass.
Avoid contact between the dispensing spout, the glass
and the beer already in the glass. This could cause
excessive foaming.
note: Every time you install a new keg in the BeerTender,
the first glass of beer will fill up with too much foam. When
this occurs, allow the glass to stand on the drip tray. As
soon as the foam has settled, continue filling the glass.
note: Too much foam will also be generated if the tap
handle is opened just slightly or slowly; several beers
can be dispensed in sequence when the tap handle is
open. The beer will flow out more slowly after the first
glass has been filled.
step 3 – Beer in the glass
Place the glass of beer on the drip tray and wait for the
foam to settle.
step 4 – the quality of a glass of beer
An excellent draft beer has the following characteristics:
1.
A head of about 3 cms;
2.
A head evenly distributed around the wall of the
glass that adheres to the surface of the beer;
3.
A crystal clear colour, with bubbles of carbon
dioxide escaping from the sides and bottom of the
glass;
4.
A temperature of 4°C to 6°C (in the glass).
note: to prevent excessive foam from forming, always
use a pre-chilled BeerTender Keg and a clean glass
rinsed in cold water.
