WILD BEER
Beer, when drawn, is afi 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 % " to 1" high.
2)
•
Yeast growth, or other obstructions in
faucet.
* Worn faucet parts and worn faucet
washers.
2)
•
Clean faucet spout with a good brush daily.
Scour all internal faucet parts at least once a
week.
• Replace worn washers as required, if faucet
does not open wide, worn parts or entire
faucet must be replaced.
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)
* Sag, or trap in line. 4)
• Keep all metal beer lines straight from barrel
to faucet: never permit lines to sag, as this
creates traps that may cause wild beer.
5)
• Too much air pressure.
5)
•
Check source of pressure. Adjust pressure to
suit properly balanced system. For correct
beer flow, fill a 10
02. Glass in 4 seconds at
proper temperature.
• Check and replace a creeping regulator and
gauge.
6)
• Excess CO
2.

6)
•
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.
7)
•
Not enough pressure.
• No pressure.

7)
•
Check for defective air vents, {see Flat Beer,
Corrections #3)
• Always turn pressure on before drawing beer.
