How Does The Beer Dispensing Equipment Work?

We are going to be looking at the various components of beer dispensing equipment. The first component we will look at is the keg itself, specifically how it is used to provide chilled brewing water.

There are many different types of kegs available for the beer industry that can be used for refrigeration, or simply as a vessel from which to serve draft beers such as Porter or Stout. How does one go about choosing one type over another?

• The best way to answer this question is by considering how you want your draft beers served and then finding a type of keg that has been designed specifically for this purpose.
• Bottled beer is often stored in a keg and dispensed directly into a glass to be drunk. For this reason, you’ll find that all kegs designed for serving bottled beer have two openings, one at the top for dispensing and another at the bottom for receiving the beer back into the vessel.
• Draft beer is generally dispensed from a tap (faucet) which is why kegs designed to dispense draft beer have either two or three tap holes with a corresponding number of valves per hole. For example, you may have a single hole with three valves or an additional hole with one valve. The type of system available will depend on what type of equipment you have in place and how it is used. For example, some systems use two kegs at a time but dispense one serving at a time from each. Other systems may have three kegs all connected to the same Dispensing Equipment so that multiple beers can be served at the same time.

Depending on what your requirements are, you’ll need to find a suitable keg. Some kegs have been designed with beer pouring spigots located right above the filling valve so that they can be easily served by the glass. Other types of kegs have flat tops with good support for stacking so that multiple kegs can be stored easily in one place and transported by forklift or pallet truck as required.

Finally, some kegs have no dispensing valves and the beer simply flows directly to the bottom of the vessel. These types of kegs are often used for serving a variety of draught beers which can then be dispensed from the tap at once.

The type of keg that you choose will depend on how often your draft system is used as well as the type of beers you’ll be serving. For example, draft ale is generally dispensed directly from a tap so you would want to use a suitable keg that relies on gravity for dispensing. On the other hand, if you’re serving a large volume of bitter ales you may want to use a keg that requires some additional pressurization such as the keg with three tap holes and three dispensing valves.

Another consideration is the size of the keg. Beer dispensed from a keg will almost always require delivery of at least 2.5 liters per glass for good service so it’s important that each keg can supply this quantity to avoid wastage due to people over-ordering their drinks. If you don’t have your own filling station and are relying on draught beer deliveries, this option won’t be available for you so you must choose one that can handle 2.5 liters.

In addition to the keg, you’ll also need to consider the beer pump. To dispense beer from a keg, you first need to pressurize and then cool it down as well as removing all dissolved gases that will otherwise cause foaming at the dispensing tap.

The easiest way to do this is by using a beer pump which will often be made from stainless steel and can therefore be used for both hot and cold applications (maximum temperature 120 degrees). The way most of these pumps work is by drawing beer into a chamber which is then compressed so that it becomes colder and then pushed out into the dispensing line before being dispensed at the tap.

A variation on this theme is to use a beer exchanger or plate chiller. Here, the beer pump cools the beer down to nearly 4 degrees Celsius before pushing it out into the serving line.

Another consideration is whether to buy a CO2-powered system or an air-powered one. CO2-powered systems are generally more efficient at pressurizing kegs and therefore use less gas while delivering more beer. Air-powered systems are often used when there is no need for pressurization or where pressure can be reduced after cooling through a CO2 gas infiltration system. This reduced pressure (or no pressure) helps eliminate the risk of over-carbonation and allows dispensing temperatures to be maintained at between 3 and 4 degrees Celsius.

Finally, many draught beer systems are designed with a tap that can be used to serve a variety of draught beers. For example, one system may have an outlet for serving pale ale, another for porter and stouts, and yet another for bitter ales. The way this is usually achieved is by connecting multiple kegs together so that they all fill at the same time from a single tap on discharge. Another way it can be done is by linking up several instruments (usually fitted with spigots) that carry different types of draught beer each attached to separate taps behind one or more faucets.

So there you have it. The basics of draught beer systems that you’ll need to consider before purchasing a keg and beer pump.

Maintenance and cleaning of the beer tap equipment–

The cleaning of Draft Beer Equipment is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration because it has a significant impact on your drinks.

• Draft beer lines have a high level of contamination and require ongoing maintenance to ensure that components perform to specification. This may mean changing or cleaning parts and valves and performing actions such as filling kegs with clean CO2 gas after each use. It is important to remember that this routine maintenance should be carried out by a qualified person because poor cleaning procedures may result in the contamination of the keg with various bacteria or yeast that could then cause an adverse taste experienced by customers.
• It is also important to consider cleaning and disinfecting your draught beer equipment on a regular basis. This will help maintain the hygiene of your draught beer system and will also reduce the risk of infection that may affect your kegs. As mentioned earlier, there are a number of different ways in which you can do this, from using additives made with chemicals such as chlorine or acid to simply rinsing all surfaces using clean water and returning all equipment components to their original position for storage.
• Maintenance and cleaning of kegs are just as important as that of draught beer equipment. If your kegs are not maintained correctly they will not only become contaminated but may also develop leaks that could lead to varying degrees of spoilage or the juice being expelled from the keg on dispensing.

The most important thing to remember about kegs is that they should be kept in a clean environment and stored in such a way that they are accessible for maintenance and cleaning. For this reason, many draught beer systems allow for their use at premises where other cleaning activities are carried out on a regular basis such as breweries, bars, restaurants, and hotels.

However, if you do not have the necessary facilities to maintain your kegs, it is a good idea to use a storage area that is kept clean and away from dust or other substances that can contaminate the keg. It is also a good idea to keep kegs in an upright position when they are being stored so as to reduce flow resistance.

Maintenance of draught beer equipment is usually carried out on a rotating basis where each component of the system is checked and cleaned at regular intervals such as once per week or month. This helps ensure optimal performance in addition to avoiding any excessive wear or tear on components due to excessive use.

This is how you can easily maintain your beer tap equipment.
