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)
• Improper drawing beer into glass.

1)
• 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.

2)
• Yeast growth, or other obstructions in

faucet.

2)
• Clean faucet hoses daily.

3)
• Kinks, dents, or twists in coils, or direct

draw lines: obstructions in line, near, or
behind faucet.

3)
• Check for, and replace kinked, dented, or twisted

line from barrel to faucet.

• Examine for frayed coupling washer behind faucet

that may cause obstruction.

4)
• Excess CO

.

10)
• Adjust pressure when using CO

2

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

CO

2

pressure, the more rapid the absorption of

CO

2

by the beer. This over-carbonates the beer,

causing Wild Beer.

5)
• Not enough pressure.
• No pressure

11)
• Always turn pressure on before drawing beer.

6)
• Old Beer.

12)
• 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.
