What causes foamy beer?

What are the causes for foamy beer?

Many times we get calls about this issue. Sometimes we are able to troubleshoot the foaming problem over the phone and it could be something as minor as a tapped warm keg. Pouring foamy beer can be costly and wasteful. 

Here is a list of common foaming issues: 

  • Beer poured improperly
  • Bad regulator
  • Applied pressure is set too high
  • Hot spots in line
  • Use of non-insulated beer line
  • Glycol machine is under rated for length of beer lines
  • Tapped into a warm keg
  • Walk-In Cooler malfunctioning
  • Kinks, dents, twists or other obstructions in line

Be sure to call us when your next problem arises, we are here to help!

THE DRAFT BEER PROFIT MODEL BY MICRO MATIC USA

The Profit in One Keg

Each 15.5-gallon keg (½ Barrel) contains 1984 ounces of beer.

Realistically, you could expect to get at least 130-140 16 oz pints (if a 16oz pint is served with a ¾ inch head it has approx 14oz in the glass) from that keg.

If a pint of beer was sold for $3.00, this would generate a gross profit of $390-$420.

The net profit from a keg based on the aforementioned figures (after subtracting the wholesale cost of the keg) would be approximately $310-$340.

The Profit from 5 Kegs/Week 

In a retail establishment if only five kegs a week are sold, a profit of over $80,000 a year in possible.

5 kegs/week X 52 = 260 kegs/year

260 kegs X $320 = $ 83,200 net profit

Cheers Friends!

LONG DRAW SYSTEMS, AKA GLYCOL COOLED

Many of you are familiar with Direct Draw Systems aka Kegerators where kegs are stored in a cooler and the beer tap is directly above the kegs. Long Draw Systems, aka Glycol Cooled Systems, are installed where the kegs are stored in a walk-in cooler some distance away from the tower. In order for your beer to pour the way you want it, you will need a Glycol Machine which pumps food grade antifreeze lines that surround the beer lines. This keeps your beer cold from the cooler to the tower. Long Draw Systems allow for more beer taps as well, depending on the size of your cooler.

There are many options in installing a draft beer system. To find out which system fits your establishment best, call us for  a complimentary evaluation.

Cheers friends!
