Trending in the draught beer market
There is an important reason to consider Pumps and Especially the use of Foam on Beer Detectors for those who are choosing to start up a new system for Beer sales.
The huge growth in Micro brewers has made variety a must in the beer sales arena.
With today's long draw systems and the customization of delivery of these products many places are realizing the savings of using the FOB as a way to shift products quickly without the loss of product.
They are able to purchase smaller size kegs and maintain profitability.
Product spends less time on the rack and can be traded out for a customer request.
If you don't use Fob's and your system delivery is more then 20 ft from the cooler you should look into them

Cold Beer Summer:
It's toasty out there and an Ice Cold Beer sounds as good as it tastes on these summer days.
If your product is not pouring at less then 38 or 39 degrees you need to check your beer box or cooler and for you remote draw folks the Power pack should be checked as well.
Today's new designs on Power packs are heads & shoulders above the old open bath circulating systems.
energy ratings are a fraction of what the older styles generate and the ability to keep the product cold is far Superior to the old units.
So check those pour temps and get your coolers serviced if you need it. Cold Beer sales are far better and customers will love you for it.
If you need service in the Upstate SC and or NC. feel free to jump on over to our page via the link and give us a call

Its the Heat !
When temps get this high during the day some overhead beer line runs are getting too warm to maintain quality pour.
The solution starts with the beer cooler. Make sure you are at proper temps in the cooler. Remember variations in cooler temp are one thing, but the keg is a large heat sponge and will quickly absorb any heat. Kegs are not so quick to give up that heat gain though.
Experience give me this rule of thumb
for every one minute above 42 degrees requires 5 minutes below 42 degrees to get back normal temp on the keg.
If you have your kegs on the floor in an outside cooler exposed to the sun keep them of the wall and on a stand.
Cooler is Good:
Power packs are designed around the obvious premise that your cooler is working.
They are not designed to cool the beer only to maintain proper temp on a proper system.
If your power pack on a long draw system is not reaching at least 29 degrees and cycling off it either needs work or needs replacing.
Today's units are built with new ambient standards and are energy efficient as well.
An old unit may work , but how much energy are you using to provide barely cold beer.
Beat the HEAT SAVE MONEY replace it

More On FOB Issues
Continuing with FOB operational issues :
Many times calls are made with the following complaint.
Why does the float keep dropping when the keg is not empty
Lets start with a keg in service ( not full & not quite empty )...
This issue can be caused by.
leaking seal on keg or coupler, over carbonation from high gas pressure on keg, warm keg and or cooler are most common causes.
New Keg change and float drops:
If when changing a keg this occurs, follow these steps.
Flip bottom lever up. Wait for line pressure to equalize ( you will see the flow stop )vent the air from float cup. Make sure to check the jump line from the keg is clear of air from keg to FOB.
Once this has been done & float has risen flip lever down.
Any on going float drop on a new keg that is properly set is a sign more often then not of a bad seal or keg flow problem which can include a stuck check valve in the coupler.

More On F.O.B.s
I have had several calls lately about FOB floats dropping on new kegs.
This reminded me of another aspect that makes the use of FOB's pay for themselves.
When a new keg is hooked on a non FOB system a crack or bad seal on the dip tube can go undetected for an entire keg.
What happens is the supplied gas pressure seeps through the exposed opening allowing turbulence and or foaming.
The FOB will tell you that you have a bad Keg draw tube by acting as if the keg is empty. Every time you bleed off the chamber of the FOB it will appear as if the beer is bleeding back into the keg. what is actually happening is the supplied gas is refilling the FOB chamber letting you know the keg is malfunctioning in some way.
If you find yourself experiencing this problem switch kegs. If this fixes your problem you have saved yourself the hassle of wasting a keg and the aggravation of wondering what is wrong with your system.
