At a specific temperature, proper draft beer system operation depends upon balancing what two elements
Pressure and Volume
If the operating temperature of a balanced draft system (cooler and lines) is increased by several degrees, how should gas pressure be changed, if at all? (Assume use of 100% CO2)
It will need to be proportionately increased to maintain proper CO2 levels
When troubleshooting a direct draw system, if you open the tap and nothing comes out, name two things you should check:
Whether the coupler is attached correctly to the keg, if the keg has beer in it, whether there is CO2 in the tank and if the tank is connected to the keg.
