TAIL END BEER
Beer draws well at the beginning of the barrel. Towards the end of the barrel the beer is flat. This is more likely to occur when beer turnover is slow.
Causes | Corrections |
?Where air is used as a pressure source, air replaced the CO2 in beer causing flat beer. Where beer is being drawn rapidly this problem is not so evident.
? Wherever possible CO2 Gas should be used as pressure source.
? In high pressure system s where CO2 gas cannot be sued a banner
installed. This introduces a small amount of CO
2
back into the beer, thus maintaining normal CO
2
content in beer.
