Frequently Asked Questions:
Draft beer systems function as liquid dispensing units that store beer in kegs, ensuring it is served fresh and cold at the correct pressure and temperature.
Draft beer systems work by using CO2 or nitrogen gas, which keeps the kegs pressurized at the ideal levels and pushes the beer through the lines to the tap for serving.
Beverage-grade CO2 systems are designed for carbonated drinks, such as beers, ciders, seltzers, sparkling wines, and carbonated kegged cocktails. Beverage-grade nitrogen is used for still beverages, including red and white wines, cold brew coffee, and nitro coffees at a higher gas pressure. Nitro stouts typically use a mix of 25% CO2 and 75% nitrogen.
Yes, you can provide carbonated and non-carbonated drinks by changing the gas and adjusting the pressure levels in the system, based on the type of drink.
In a standard draft beer system, you will find keg couplers, beer and gas tubing, primary and secondary gas regulators, beer FOBs, insulated trunk lines cooled by glycol, a glycol power pack, tap towers with taps and drip trays, and many stainless steel fittings and clamps.
A draft beer system requires maintenance that includes glycol maintenance on your 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 cleaning beer FOBs every six months.

Your draft beer system needs regular cleaning. Clean the draft beer lines every two weeks with a caustic solution and twice a year with an acid cleaning solution. Proper maintenance helps avoid bacteria and mold growth in your cooler. Learn more here.
There are many advantages to using draft beer systems, especially for businesses focused on improving customer experience. A draft beer system ensures that:
- The right temperature is consistently maintained for an ideal pour.
- A variety of beer options is available on tap, appealing to diverse palates.
- Streamlined and rapid service during high-traffic hours.
- Waste from packaging is minimized by cutting down on bottles and cans.
The right draft beer system is determined by multiple factors, including your venue size, the number of beer lines you need, available space, and your specific storage requirements. For more information, please contact us.
Yes, you can install draft beer systems in home bars. There are various sizes available to fit different home configurations, from basic kegerators to custom-built systems.
A well-maintained draft beer system can preserve beer freshness for 30 to 60 days, depending on how it's stored and the type of beer.
These systems are built to handle ⅙ barrel kegs, ¼ barrel kegs, full ½ barrel kegs, and Euro kegs.

Nearly all draft beer issues are connected to temperature, specifically the storage and dispense temperatures of kegs. Line cleanliness or gas issues may also contribute to problems. For any concerns with your draft beer system, please get in touch with us.
You should consider upgrading your system if you deal with regular breakdowns, inconsistent quality of beer, or if it no longer satisfies the volume demands of your business.
The cost to install a draft beer system can vary depending on its complexity, the number of beer lines required, and whether it is a direct draw system with taps on the cooler wall or a remote long draw system utilizing glycol-cooled trunk lines for taps located at a distance from the cooler.
