 Select and maintain the proper temperature inside the refrigerator cabinet. This is

necessary to maintain the flavor freshness of the beer. Adding additional un-

refrigerated products, such as meats, vegetables, fish, etc. while attempting to

chill beer will cause a fluctuation in the temperature, resulting in cloudy beer.

 The recommended temperature for storing and serving chilled beer is between the

high 30s and mid 40s. These temperatures apply whether the beer is a domestic

beer or an imported one. The same holds

true whether or not the draft beer is

pasteurized. Beer stored between the

high 30s and mid 40s will retain the

level of carbonation that was created

during the brewing process.

Note: During summer months, adjust the

temperature control to a cooler setting

accordingly.

 If a sour taste (vinegar-like or lemon-

like) occurs after drinking your beer, this

is the result of secondary fermentation

which occurs when the beer is kept at a

temperature above high the 40s.

Furthermore, allowing keg beer to warm

up will cause the carbonation to be

released from the beer while it is still in

the keg, resulting in foaming. The

foaming occurs because the pressure

being applied to the keg is no longer

enough to keep the carbonation in the

beer.

 On the other hand, having the beer too cold causes the carbonation to stay in the

beer. This results in poured beer appearing hazy or cloudy.

The ideal method for monitoring the liquid temperature (inside the keg) is done by use of

a liquid thermometer. Such thermometers are enclosed in a casing filled with liquid; this

provides a constant accurate reading of the liquid (beer) temperature within the

refrigerator. Contact EdgeStar customer service online via email at

Understanding Beer Temperature

Note: Thermometers should be

placed in liquid inside the

cabinet in order to accurately

measure the temperature of the

keg in the cooler. The

temperature of the beer at the

faucet should also be measured

to determine if the beer is

warming up as it travels through

the system from the keg to the

faucet. If this occurs check your

lines for warm spots along

them, and adjust accordingly.

To check the dispense

temperature, simply pour beer

into a glass and use a

thermometer to read the

temperature – in a proper

system this will match the

liquid temperature inside the

Draft Beer Dispenser.
