CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use soap or put the growler in a dishwasher. The residue leftover
from soap can cling to the vessel and leave behind an unpleasant taste.
AFTER EVERY USE:
1.
Remove the Growler Cap or Dispenser Cap, then pour out
any extra beer (there shouldn't be much).
2.
Fill the growler about half way with warm tap water.
3.
Place the palm of your hand over the mouth of the growler, then give it a good
swirl and shake. Be careful to not shake water out of the mouth of the growler.
4.
Repeat this two more times.
5.
Next, unscrew the silicone tube from the bottom of the Dispenser Cap by twisting clockwise.
6.
Fill the growler once more with warm water, then screw the
Dispenser Cap (minus silicone tube) back onto the growler.
7.
Dispense the warm water through the Tap Faucet:
»
If you have CO2 remaining in the CO2 Cartridge, use the CO2 to
dispense the warm water. Simply open the Tap Handle and the
water will dispense until the pressure drops to zero.
»
If there is no pressure left to dispense water, remove the Quick-Connect
Regulator, then simply turn the growler upside down and open the
Tap Handle to allow the water to run through the Tap Faucet.
8.
Remove the Dispenser Cap and dump out any remaining water.
9.
Rinse and drain warm water through the Tap Faucet two more times.
10. Soak the Dispenser Cap (minus Quick-Connect Regulator),
Growler Cap and silicone tube in warm water.
11. Drain the growler upside down until completely dry. Allow all
extra parts to completely dry before reassembling.
DEEP CLEANING:
1.
If your growler has any funky odors or foreign smells, fill your growler
half way with hot water and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
2.
Screw the Dispenser Cap onto the growler, then shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
3.
Dispense baking soda/water solution through the Tap Faucet:
»
If you have CO2 remaining in the CO2 Cartridge, use the CO2
to dispense the solution. Simply open the Tap Handle and the
solution will dispense until the pressure drops to zero.
»
If there is no pressure left to dispense the solution, remove the Quick-
Connect Regulator, then simply turn the growler upside down and open
the Tap Handle to allow the solution to run through the Tap Faucet.
4.
Follow these steps two more times, once with hot water, then once with cold
water. Be sure to swirl each rinse cycle to remove all leftover baking soda.
5.
Drain the growler upside down until completely dry.
