Draft Beer Information – Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained Temperature One of the most common causes of dispensing problems is improper temperature. Draft beer should be stored at a temperature between 32° and 38°. At warmer temperatures, beer will foam. At temperatures lower than 30° F., beer will freeze. When beer freezes, the alcohol in the beer may separate and cause the beer to be cloudy with an “off” taste.
PAGE 7
Cleaning the Beer System – Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained ■ The entire beer system, to include the faucet, flexible beer line and tapping devices must be cleaned at regular intervals. We recommend flushing the entire system with fresh water immediately after a keg has been emptied. Once each month the system should be cleaned chemically. It is recommended that you purchase Perlick’s Pump Type Sterilizer, as shown below.

Pouring a Perfect Glass of Beer – Direct Draw Dispensers STEP 1 ➠ Start with a clean glass. Place the glass at a 45° angle, one inch below faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Open the faucet all the way. STEP 2 ➠ After the glass has reached half full, gradually bring the glass to the upright position STEP 3 ➠ Let the remaining beer run straight down the middle of the glass. This ensures proper release of CO2 by producing a 3⁄4” to 1” foam head.
