Frequently Asked Questions:
Draft beer systems are designed to store and dispense beer from kegs, ensuring that it is served fresh and cold at the appropriate pressure and temperature.
Draft beer systems operate using CO2 or nitrogen gas, which maintains the kegs at the brewery-specified pressure and pushes the beer through the lines to the tap for pouring.
Beverage-grade CO2 systems are designed for carbonated beverages such as beers, ciders, seltzers, sparkling wines, and carbonated cocktails from kegs. For still beverages, beverage-grade nitrogen is used, which includes red and white wines, cold brew coffee, and nitro coffees, typically at higher pressures. Nitro stouts usually contain 25% CO2 and 75% nitrogen.
You can adjust the gas and pressure levels in the system to serve both carbonated and non-carbonated drinks based on your needs.
A standard draft beer system consists of keg couplers, beer and gas tubing, primary and secondary gas regulators, beer FOBs, glycol-cooled insulated trunk lines, a glycol power pack, tap towers with taps and drip trays, along with numerous stainless steel fittings and clamps.
The maintenance of a draft beer system includes glycol maintenance on the glycol power pack every six months, routine cleaning and sanitizing of beverage lines, changing vinyl beer lines every 12 to 24 months, regularly disassembling and cleaning taps and keg couplers, inspecting insulated glycol trunk lines for damage, and breaking down and cleaning beer FOBs biannually. Learn more here.
Your draft beer system requires regular cleaning. Draft beer lines should be cleaned every two weeks with a caustic solution, and an acid line cleaning solution should be used twice a year. Proper maintenance of your equipment helps prevent bacteria and mold growth in your cooler. Learn more here.
Implementing draft beer systems brings various advantages, particularly for businesses focused on elevating customer experience. A draft beer system ensures that:
- The optimal temperature is preserved for an ideal pour each time.
- A broad array of beer selections is available on tap to cater to diverse palates.
- Quick and efficient service is optimized during high-demand periods.
- By cutting down on the use of bottles and cans, packaging waste is significantly reduced.
When choosing a draft beer system, consider factors like the size of your venue, the number of beer lines you need, the space available, and your beer storage requirements. Feel free to contact us for more details.
Draft beer systems can also be installed in home bars. They come in various sizes, including straightforward kegerators and custom-built options.
When properly maintained in a draft system, beer can remain fresh for 30 to 60 days, depending on its type and storage conditions.
Draft beer systems are compatible with ⅙ barrel kegs, ¼ barrel kegs, full-sized ½ barrel kegs, and Euro kegs.

Nearly all issues with draft beer systems are linked to temperature, mainly concerning keg storage and dispense temperatures. Other factors may include line cleanliness or gas problems. If you’re experiencing issues with your draft beer system, feel free to contact us for assistance.
You should think about upgrading your system if you face frequent malfunctions, inconsistent beer quality, or if it can’t satisfy your business’s volume needs.
The installation cost of a draft beer system depends on several factors, including its complexity, the number of beer lines, and whether it's a direct draw system with taps on the cooler wall or a remote long draw system using glycol-cooled trunk lines that place the taps farther from the cooler.
