Complete System Overview

BEER PROPERTIES General Information
The object of every establishment serving draught beer is to deliver the same high quality of beer to the customer that is delivered to it by the beer distributor. Unfortunately, this objective may be more difficult to achieve than the vendor or proprietor realizes, especially if he is not thoroughly familiar with the relationships that exist between temperature, pressure, and beer delivery systems, all of which have a major effect on the quality of the beer delivered to the customer. A brief discussion of these factors may prove helpful in understanding why a problem exists and what corrective action is required.
Beer is a unique liquid; no two barrels (even of the same brand) are exactly alike. There are large variations between brands. Chemically speaking, beer is a “supersaturated” liquid. Simply stated, beer contains excess carbon dioxide (CO2) which dissipates or “out gasses” if allowed to stand in an open container for a period of time. If this were to happen, the beer would go “flat”. The presence of CO gives beer its effervescent quality and distinct flavor. There are several factors that affect the level of carbonation, and therefore the quality and flavor of the beer that is delivered to the customer.
Pressure
Beer is pressurized in the keg by the brewer to his exact specifications, which ar e op ti mized for the best possible flavor. For example, under pressurized beer will taste flat and over pressurized beer will taste bitter. It therefore follows that the vendor must carefully balance his system to the beer specifications of the brewer in order to dispense the beer with the best possible flavor to his customers. Failure to do so can result in poor tasting or foamy beer. This is why it is strongly recommended that each keg or beer supply be regulated by its own pressure regulator.
The optimum pressure for most domestic beer, dispensed at normal temperatures and at sea level, is 12 to 14 pounds per square inch (psi) keg pressure.
2
12 Part Number STH13 9/10
Some domestic beers require slightly higher pressure and some imported beers require lower pressure, which explains the need for separate pressure regulators for each brand. This information is readily available from the beer distributor. Areas with higher elevations will require higher keg pressure, specifically one psi for each 2,000 ft (609.6 m) elevation above sea level. This increase in keg pressure is necessary to retain the correct carbonation level in the beer itself, since the carbonation level is a function of the “absolute pressure” and not the difference in pressure between keg and atmospheric (which is the pressure maintained by the pressure regulator on the beer system).
The applied CO forcing the beer from the keg through the beer lines
pressure is also the vehicle for
2
and into the glass at the dispensing point. Many operators mistakenly believe that this is the only function, or at least the major function, of the applied pressure, and therefore the pressure m ay be decreased or increased at will to facilitate a desired dispensing rate (flow rate). Because of the effects on the carbonation level of the beer, and therefore the quality of the beer itself, the pressure must not be changed to achieve a desired change in the flow rate. The only acceptable method for adjusting the flow rate is by changing the amount of the restriction or “drag” in the system with respect to the flowing beer. The amount of additional restriction may be adjusted by adding or removing lengths of the main beer lines, or adding or removing shorter portions of smaller sized tubing (choker lines) to the beer lines.
Part Number STH13 9/10 13
In some beer systems the walk-in cooler or storage room is located remotely and on different levels from the dispensing points. Under these conditions, even with large size beer lines it is often not feasible to dispense beer at an adequate flow rate with normal keg pressures since the drag, or resistance of the lines, as well as vertical lift that may be required can be sufficient to reduce the flow greatly at these standard pressures. In these cases it is often necessary to pressurize the keg as much as two or three times the normal keg pressure in order to provide an acceptable flow rate at the dispensing point. This type of system is commonly known as a “long draw” or “remote” system. Manufacturers of these systems recommend using a blend of gasses or beer pumps (usually a mixture of CO and nitrogen) to pressurize the system without over
and air or CO2

carbonating the beer. The refrigerated chamber containing the kegs can be located more than 450 ft (91.4 m) away from the serving location using these long draw techniques.

The effects of temperature are manifested in several ways. The temperature itself is very significant. A temperature between 36°F (2.2°C) and 38°F (3.3°C) gives the best dispensing results, and is generally favored by most people as providing the best taste. If the beer is cooled below 36°F (2.2°C), more CO absorbed and a greater tendency to out gas may occur when the beer is released to atmospheric pressure by dispensing, thereby producing more foam. The greater absorption of CO2 also imparts a slightly more bitter taste to the beer, which is objectionable to most beer drinkers.
Above 38°F (3.3°C) the CO a higher energy level and can escape more easily.
contained in the beer is at
2
Therefore out gassing and foaming can occur more readily. This energy level continues to increase at higher temperatures, resulting in a rapid increase in the beer’s tendency to foam.
An increase in temperature in the beer lines or the faucet itself can result in “fracturing” (out gassing) when the beer is dispensed. This generally occurs when un-refrigerated beer lines extend outside of the beer cooler and the ambient temperature surrounding the lines is at a higher temperature than the cooler itself. This can also occur in the beer “tower” at which the faucets are connected when an insufficient amount of coolant is circulated in the tower. The general result is that the first glass dispensed after a delay of several minutes will experience significant fracturing, resulting
is

Part Number STH13 9/10 15
in a larger head of foam. To maintain the correct temperature in the tower, care must be taken to ensure that a sufficient amoun t of coolant is delivered to this area.

THE TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE COMBINATION

Since carbonation of the beer is related to both pressure and temperature, it is important to understand this relationship in order to assure that the highest quality beer product is delivered to the customer. Higher than normal temperatures require higher than normal pressures in order to maintain carbonation. Specifically, in order to maintain proper carbonation, the CO when there is an increase in the beer temperature. For
pressure must be increased
2
example, a typical American beer that would be properly carbonated at 12 psi (0.8 bar) at a temperature of 38°F (3.3°C) would require an increase in pressure to maintain the same level of carbonation at a temperature of 39°F (4.2°C). Conversely, lowering the temperature requires a corresponding decrease in CO
pressure to prevent over-carbonation. In actual
2
practice pure CO
16.5 psi (1.1 bar) (at sea level) should be avoided at
pressures above approximately
2
normal temperature (36°F [2.2°C] to 38°F [3.3°C]) to avoid an unacceptable level of over carbonation which leads to foaming problems. When the pressures above this level are required for good dispensing, the operator should switch to a blend of CO for pressurization or beer pumps.
and nitrogen
2
The beer faucet itself is surrounded by normal ambient room air and will warm slightly over a period of several minutes. Since a small amount of beer is trapped behind the faucet, there is a likelihood that this small amount of beer will also warm slightly. The result will be that this trapped beer will fracture and produce foam on the first beer dispensed after an extended idle time. When all of the slightly warmed beer has been depleted from the faucet and the beer line, subsequent beers drawn immediately following the first should produce about the same amount of foam or head, but less than the first beer.
In long draw or remote systems as described above, it is essential to refrigerate the beer lines throughout
16 Part Number STH13 9/10
their entire length at about the same temperature as the beer in the cooler. Most manufacturers of these systems agree that it is not possible to adequately refrigerate these lines using cold air over distances greater than about 15 ft (4.6 m). Therefore, these systems utilize a liquid refrigerant line continuously cycling propylene glycol at a temperature below 30°F (-1.1°C) (or other suitable liquid coolant) in physical contact with beer lines and with the overall assembly contained in a flexible, insulated housing. These systems, when properly designed and installed, generally offer the best and most consistent draught beer product. On the other hand, an improperly designed, installed, or maintained system (even a rough or damaged gasket) can produce “shots” of foam, continuous foam, or continuously warm and therefore, foamy beer.
NOTE: A properly designed, installed, and maintained draught dispensing system should deliver beer at 1.75 to 2.0 ounces per second. The beer should be dispensed at 38°F (3.3°C) or less. The beer should flow in a solid, clear column smoothly (neither falling or pushing) from the faucet to the glass.

Multiplex Beermaster™ Beer Dispensing System

The beer keg is kept in a refrigerated cooler at the proper temperature for dispensing. The pressure system supplies pressurized gas to the kegs at a specific pressure for each keg, this pressure is determined by the installer taking into consideration the distance, vertical rise and fall of the conduit (insulated bundle of tubing), along with the natural pressure in the keg. The beer is pushed through the lines in the conduit from the cooler to the dispensing valve. T o maintain the cold temperature in the conduit the refrigeration system uses the Multiplex Beermaster™ refrigeration unit which chills a glycol bath. This glycol, which is adjusted to below 30°F (-1.11°C), is circulated through the conduit up to the dispensing faucet and back where it is re-chilled in the bath. These chilled glycol lines are touching the beer lines in the conduit, maintaining the cold temperature of the beer. The beer is then brought up to the dispensing system where the conduit tubing is restricted down to a smaller diameter tube of a length, calculated by the installer, that’s designed to give a 1.75 ounce per second flow of a perfectly dispensed beer.
18 Part Number STH13 9/10

PRESSURE SYSTEM

The pressure system supplies the pressurized gas to the kegs at a specific pressure for each keg. This consists of a high pressure regulator to reduce the CO
or mixed gas pressure from the high pressure
2
cylinder to 40 psi (2.8 bar). This gas is fed to the secondary regulators to beer pumps or the optional blender which may nitrogen with the CO reduce the chance of providing extra carbonation to
to help
2
the beer. The secondary regulators are adjusted to the installer calculated pressure, calculated for each keg. This pressure is calculated to push the beer through the conduit to the dispensing faucets and flow at a desired 1.75 oz per second flow rate.
Part Number STH13 9/10 19

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

The refrigeration system consists of the Multiplex Beermaster™ refrigeration unit which chills a food grade glycol to below 30°F (-1.11°C). This glycol is circulated through an insulated bundle of tubing (conduit) by a 70 GPH circulating pump and returned to the refrigeration unit for re-chilling. This very cold glycol is continually circulating through independent lines in the conduit. The beer lines (which are also in the conduit) are in contact with the glycol lines which will maintain the temperature of the beer. This ensures that the product is dispensed at the beer cooler temperature. The refrigeration compressor will cycle ON and OFF as needed to maintain the consistent temperature of glycol. Each size of Beermaster™ Refrigeration Unit is rated for a maximum total conduit length to keep the beer dispensing at a consistently cold temperature, maintaining the proper temperature and taste of the beer.
20 Part Number STH13 9/10

DISPENSING SYSTEM

The dispensing system consists of one of the many different styles and sizes of dispensing towers which can have any number of dispensing faucets used to dispense the beer into the glass, mug or pitcher. As the beer comes out of the conduit it must be adjusted to give a maximum 2 oz per second flow rate to reduce the chance of foaming and to dispense a proper glass of beer. The proper way to adjust the flow rate of the beer is to reduce the diameter of the tubing, using an installer calculated length, of 3/16" diameter restrictor tubing. The beer then flows through an aluminum or stainless steel heat exchanger, that is kept in contact with the very cold glycol lines, to maintain the cold temperature all the way to the dispensing faucet and into the glass.

To keep the proper amount of carbon dioxide gas in solution in the beer to maintain the proper taste throughout the life of the keg, the system must have the proper balance of temperature, applied pressure to the keg and rate of flow at the faucet.
The installer must calculate, taking into consideration the static resistance in the conduit (amount of vertical rise and fall) as well as frictional resistance (the length of the conduit itself), the internal pressure of the keg according to the Brewmaster, the altitude at the location as well as the temperature of the beer in the cooler. The object is to dispense the beer as fast as possible (2 oz per second) with the proper gas pressure (CO adjusted so it will not change the carbonation or taste
or mixed gas) applied to the keg and
2
of the beer. The installer must determine the proper pressure applied to the keg as well as the length of the restrictor attached to the dispensing faucet giving a consistent properly dispensed beer.
