Any draft system requires pressurized gas to propel beer from the keg to the faucet. When this pressurized gas is pushed into the keg through the coupler, it forces the beer out into the beer line where it eventually travels up to the tap so you can pour a pint on demand!

There are three different types of draft systems for dispensing beer: remote glycol cooled, air-cooled, and direct draw. All of these share the same goal of dispensing the beer to deliver a perfect pour, glass after glass!

In a glycol cooled remote system, the beer in the keg is kept cold by the cold air in the walk-in cooler, while to beer in the lines and tower are kept cold by the lines of glycol running next to them. This system keeps the temperature of the beer consistent from keg to faucet. Of the three systems, remote glycol cooled is the most expensive.

Air-cooled systems are a type of system that use circulating cold air to keep the beer cool in the walk-in cooler, around the beer lines, and up to the faucets. This is the original system of chilling beer before glycol came. It is still viable and is the less expensive option for short-draw draft systems compared to glycol cooled systems.
The most common and most straightforward draft system for delivering beer from the keg to the tap across a short distance, is the direct draw system. This is the least expensive system option to use. It also has the added benefit of minimal beer waste due to the short length of the beer lines. Direct draw systems store the kegs in the same unit in which the beer will be dispensed. A prime example of direct draw would be a kegerator.

But for any system, maintenance and cleanings play a major roll in keeping your beer tasting how the brewers intended. So, if you need help deciding what system works best for your business or home, call Keg Techs today! Call (906)256-9119, we got answers!

Many of the ancient people worshiped gods or goddesses for beer. It was a huge part of their daily lives. Some even used beer as payment for work.

One of the oldest and most renowned of the beer gods was a goddess named Nankasi, Goddess of Brewing. The Sumerians, from the Mesopotamian region, which is now modern-day Iran, praised her. She is of particular importance not only because she was a female but because she appears around 4000 B.C., making her the oldest of the beer deities.

She not only gave beer to the world, but she also brewed beer for the Gods themselves. The earliest known written record of beer from the Sumerians was, The Hymn of Ninkasi. The hymn not only praised her, but it provided a recipe to make beer from barely bread and references different brewing techniques.

Another part of keeping your beer tasting refreshing is taking care of the keg couplers.

The keg coupler should be cleaned and brushed on the outside of the keg coupler every 2 weeks while cleaning beer lines and beer faucets. This will get rid of yeast mold, and other bacteria.

A common practice is to use StarSan which is an Acidic cleaner. Dip the coupler into the acid and scrub around the outside with a brush. A quick rinse of water after the scrubbing should do the trick.

Every 90 days the beer coupler should be completely broken down and cleaned thoroughly. Now if you cannot find the time, give Keg Techs a call at (906)256-9119 to schedule your cleaning.
