5.
If the PSI is higher than you would like, turn the Pressure Gauge to the off position, then
pull the Pressure Relief Valve to release all CO2 from the growler. Add CO2 to the growler
again by slowly turning the Pressure Dial clockwise until your desired PSI is reached.
6.
When the Pressure Gauge is set to your desired PSI, it's time to pour a beer!
POURING DRAFT BEER
1.
Start with a clean glass.
2.
Hold the glass at a 45° angle about 1 inch below the Tap Faucet.
3.
Pull the Tap Handle forward to completely open the flow of beer.
4.
Continue holding the glass 45° and allow the beer to flow down
the side of the glass until the glass is about half full.
5.
Once the glass is half full, continue pouring while you gently tilt the
glass upright and pour down the center of the glass. Ideally, this will
create about a 1 inch head of foam as you finish the pour.
6.
Quickly put the Tap Handle back into the original upright position.
NOTE: If a beer pour foams more than expected, let the beer rest until the
head calms down, and then finish your pour. This prevents beer waste.
7.
If the beer does not have enough foam for your liking, slowly increase the CO2 pressure until
the desired PSI. DO NOT increase the CO2 pressure too quickly or your beer may dispense
too quickly and with too much foam.
PRO TIP: When the regulator is open, CO2 will continue flowing into the keg. This may
result in a surplus of pressure flowing into the keg, and may be a cause of foamy beer. If
you experience foamy beer, simply fill the keg with CO2, then turn the Pressure Dial fully
counter-clockwise to the OFF position. As more beer is dispensed, add small amounts of
CO2 into the keg to displace the dispensed beer, then turn the Pressure Dial back to OFF.
8.
Lastly, drink up and enjoy!
REPLACING CO2 CARTRIDGES
1.
When the CO2 Cartridge has depleated all CO2, it's time to replace it with a new one.
2.
Ensure the Pressure Dial is turned OFF, pull the Pressure Relief Valve, then remove the old
CO2 Cartridge by turning counter-clockwise.
PRO TIP: If your hands are sensitive to cold, avoid touching the old CO2 Cartridge with your
skin. You may want to use a cloth to remove the old cartridge.
CAUTION: Be sure the threaded end of the CO2 Cartridge is pointed away
from you before removing. Leftover CO2 gas escaping from the regulator
outlet is very cold! Keep your hands and body away from the discharge.
3.
Quickly and smoothly screw the threaded end of the new CO2 Cartridge into the Regulator.
NOTE: When the CO2 Cartridge has been pierced, you should
hear a short burst of CO2 escape from the cartridge.
