Avanti CB350S instruction manual Causes, Wild Beer, Corrections, Loose Foam

	LOOSE FOAM
Causes	Corrections

•Large soap-like bubbles (sometimes called fish eyes). Foam settles quickly.

•This is generally a Flat Beer condition: the Causes and corrections for Flat Beer should be followed.

	WILD BEER
Beer, when drawn, is all foam, or too much foam, and not enough liquid beer.
	Cause		Corrections
1)		1)
• Improper drawing beer into glass.		• Open faucet quickly and completely.
		• Check and find the correct distance to hold glass
		from faucet when drawing. Proper foam should be
		a tight, creamy head, and the collar on the
		average glass should be ¾ “ to 1” high.

	behind faucet.	• Examine for frayed coupling washer behind faucet
		that may cause obstruction.
4)		10)
•	Excess CO2.	• Adjust pressure when using CO2 as low as
		possible, however, remembering that the applied
		pressure must be slightly higher than the internal
		pressure of the beer (no more than 18 lbs. should
		be applied.)
		• The colder the beer and the higher the applied
		CO2	pressure, the more rapid the absorption of
		CO2	by the beer. This over-carbonates the beer,
		causing Wild Beer.
5)		11)
•	Not enough pressure.	• Always turn pressure on before drawing beer.
•	No pressure
6)		12)
•	Old Beer.	• Rotate stock. The oldest beer should be tapped
		first; if beer has been allowed to stand in warm
		temperature beyond 45° for any excessive length
		of time, it may begin secondary fermentation.
		• Store beer at 40° all year round.
