Cause 3
The beer was stored in an area that is not cold enough and has thus become warm.
Correction
• Keep kegs of beer refrigerated at all times at 40°F all year round!
Cause 4
Too much air pressure.
Correction
• First, check the source of pressure to make sure it is working. Then adjust the
pressure to suit a properly balanced system. The correct beer flow should fill a
10oz. glass in 4 seconds at the proper temperature.
Cause 5
Excessive amounts of CO2.
Correction
• Adjust the CO2pressure to as low as possible. However, the applied pressure
must remain slightly higher than the internal pressure of the beer. No more than
18 lbs. should be applied. The proper amount should be between 10-12psi/lbs.
• The colder the beer and the higher the applied CO2pressure, the more rapid the
absorption of CO2by the beer. This over-carbonates the beer, causing Wild Beer.
• Check the pressure regulators periodically to ensure that the operating pressures
remain constant.
Cause 6
Not enough pressure or no pressure at all.
Correction
• Check for defective air vents.
• Always turn the pressure on before drawing beer.
Cause 7
An old keg of beer which has not been stored in cool temperatures has been used.
Correction
• If beer has been allowed to stand in warm temperatures beyond 45°F for an
excessive length of time, it may begin a secondary fermentation. Store beer at
40°F all year round.
