Keg Changing Flashcards
Allow kegs 24 hours in the cooler to chill to the draft system’s operating temperature
(38°F is standard)
to settle before tapping and serving. Remember, it takes 25
hours to get a keg from 50°F to 38°F!
typical American Sankey keg you’ll need to:
Grip the keg coupler handle pull it out
raise it the to the up or off position to disengage it.
Turn the coupler a quarter turn counterclockwise
Remove the coupler from the keg
Seat the coupler on the new keg
turn the coupler clockwise a quarter turn
lower the coupler handle to the down or on position.
If your draft system is a long draw system that uses FOBs
you
will need to reset the FOB after changing the keg by venting the FOB to
release foam and gas and allow it to fill with beer from the new keg.
