A frothy or overly lively pour is usually linked to temperature or pouring technique. Here’s what to check:
- Check the temperature. If the beer is not fully chilled, it can create excess foam.
- On standard PerfectDraft machines, this is 3°C.
- On PerfectDraft Pro, the temperature may vary depending on the beer style. You can check the recommended setting in the PerfectDraft app or on the PerfectDraft website.
Allow the keg to reach its full serving temperature before pouring.
- Review your pouring technique
- Use a clean, dry glass.
- Tilt the glass to 45 degrees.
- Pull the handle down fully in one smooth motion.
- Keep the glass steady and gradually straighten it as it fills.
Small adjustments to the glass angle can significantly reduce foam.
- Check the tube
- If the issue continues, inspect the tube connecting the keg to the tap. If it appears damaged or loose, replace it with a new tube and ensure it is securely fitted.
