Step 1 – Preparing a glass
In order to obtain perfect draft beer, it is essential to start with a clean, cool
■
glass. Rinse the glass in cold water before dispensing beer (the colder the
glass the better) - fig. 20.
Tip: we recommend that you use your beer glasses for drinking beer alone.
Some beverages, like milk, leave a small residue in the glass which will reduce
the head on your beer.
Step 2 – Dispensing beer
Tip: Look at the control panel to check that the beer has reached the right
drinking temperature.
Position a glass beneath the tap, holding it at an angle of 45 degrees (see
■
picture) - fig. 21.
Firmly and quickly pull the handle down as far as it will go. Let the beer run
■
into the glass.
Avoid contact between the dispensing spout, the glass and the beer already
■
in the glass. This could cause excessive foaming.
Note: every time you install a new keg in the BeerTender, the first glass of
beer will fill up with too much foam. When this occurs, allow the glass to
stand on the drip tray. As soon as the foam has settled, continue filling the
glass.
Note: too much foam will also be generated if the tap handle is opened just
slightly or slowly; several beers can be dispensed in sequence when the tap
handle is open. The beer will flow out more slowly after the first glass has
been filled.
Step 3 – Beer in the glass
Place the glass of beer on the drip tray and wait for the foam to settle
■
- fig. 22.
Step 4 – The quality of a glass of beer
An excellent draft beer has the following characteristics:
■
1. a head of about 3 cms;
2. a head evenly distributed around the wall of the glass that adheres to
the surface of the beer;
3. a crystal clear colour, with bubbles of carbon dioxide escaping from the
sides and bottom of the glass;
4. a temperature of 4°C to 6°C (in the glass).
Note: to prevent excessive foam from forming, always use a pre-chilled
BeerTender Keg and a clean glass rinsed in cold water.
