Understanding how the beer taps work helps in using beer equipment for dispensing tap beer. Here is a guide about the working of the beer taps.

Getting a keg:

A bar or restaurant needs to get a large cooler in which the keg is stored and the coolers are located either under or behind the bar. The kegs stay inside the cooler while they are used. The kegs that come from the brewery are pressurized with carbon dioxide.

There is a big ball valve on the top of the keg and to attach the keg to the coupler the valve needs to be removed. The function of the coupler is allowing the pressurized gas to flow to the keg and make the beer flow out and serve it.

Pressurized beer kegs:

A tank of pure carbon dioxide or a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide are used to keep beer kegs pressurized. Polyethylene or vinyl tubing is used for connecting the tanks to the coupler.

There is a regulator that adjusts the pressure of the keg. The right pressure depends on the type of beer and length of tubes used for liquid and gas in the system.

Travelling to the faucet:

Pressure in the system allows the beer to travel through the metal tube that runs from the bottom of the keg to the ball valve.

Pouring the beer:

The faucet is referred to as the tap. It is used by opening the valve by pulling the tap handle. Faucets are mostly made up of stainless steel but they can be customized.

Lancer Worldwide has the best beer tap system in Australia and they work efficiently for a long time. To maintain efficiency the beer tap system should be cleaned at least once in two weeks.

Here are three ways of cleaning the beer tap system.

Cleaning tap line:

Turn off the carbon dioxide and remove the coupler where it is connected to the keg. Unscrew the beer hose.

You can rent or purchase a recirculating cleaning pump. Use it to circulate the cleaning solution through the lines and it will get rid of mold, yeast, bacteria, and beer stones. After pumping let the solution sit in the lines for about twenty minutes. Run water through the lines a couple of times and the beer taps will be cleaned.

Clean tap and coupler:

Remove the tap using a tap wrench. After removing the tap from the beer tower get rid of the coupler and disconnect beer lines from the keg.

Get a cleaning solution like ultrasonics, sanitizing tablets or hypochlorous acid, and soak the coupler and tap in it. Soak them overnight and use a kitchen brush to get rid of any debris. Rinse tap and coupler with clean water. Reconnect them and it will be ready to use.

Buy equipment or expertise:

Buy a beer cleaning kit and solution. They come with all the essential tools and instructions.

Just like you can hire professionals for beer tap system installation, you can hire tap line cleaners. Invest in beer cleaning solutions.
