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
2
.
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.
