Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses
that have contained milk or any other fatty
substance. Lipstick is a fatty substance.. Make
sure it is removed from glass.
•
Excess amount of germicides build up and leave
a fatty film on glass, which may cause flat beer.
•
It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses
where health laws permit.
•
Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent.
•
Do not use soap.
•
Do not dry-wipe glasses. Permit glasses to air-
dry by placing them on wire or corrugated metal.
•
Rinse in fresh cold water just before serving
beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass.
2)
•
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.
•
Beer drawn without head has appearance of
being flat.
