HELPFUL TIPS
• It is recommended that you flush the hoses with water prior to
first use to remove any dust and debris from shipping.
• Only open the CO2 Tank ¼ turn to begin with and then use the Double Regulator
to adjust to desired pour. If it is not enough, continue to open the CO2 Tank
by ¼ turn and use Double Regulator until desired setting is reached.
• It is normal to see condensation form on the Beer Faucet. It is caused
by the difference in temperature between the cold beer and the inside
of the Beer Faucet when beer is flowing through the line.
• If your CO2 Tank Band breaks during assembly, it is recommended
to use a bungee cord to secure CO2 Tank.
• Humidity can cause ice to build up inside the DOUBLE KEGORATOR™, so
you will need to periodically defrost it. There is a hole in the back of the
unit that will allow water to drain out of the DOUBLE KEGORATOR™.
Foamy Beer
Below are tips for preventing foamy beer.
• Confirm the packing spring in the Coupler is removed and discarded. It
is not to be placed inside the Coupler when unit is assembled.
• Make sure there is only (1) Backflow Stopper inserted and it falls out easily if
the Coupler is flipped over. If you have to force it out with a screwdriver, it is
getting lodged in the Coupler. Try exchanging it with the replacement.
• Confirm the beer lines are not kinked and are clean.
To prevent foamy beer, you may need to bring down your pressure,
even if it is below the recommended 8-12 PSI:
• Before lowering the pressure, close the CO2 Shut Off Valve (turn to 9 o’clock
position) and use the provided 1.5mm Allen Wrench to loosen the Allen Screw on
the red +/- adjustment dial. This will restrict excess CO2 from entering the keg.
• Adjust the pressure down to 6 PSI. Lock the red +/- dial back
in place by tightening with the Allen Wrench.
• Pull the Release Valve on the Regulator to get an accurate reading of CO2 pressure.
• With the Shut Off Valve still closed, move down to your Coupler.
• Pull the release valve on the Coupler to remove any excess CO2 that
may have been pushed into the keg at another point.
• Once most or all has released, open the Shut Off Valve (6 o’clock position) and attempt to pour
a beer.
This should prevent and/or correct foamy beer.
• Keep in mind that jostling a keg can create foamy beer.
• Temperature also may affect the beer, so be sure it is not too warm
or too cold. 37 degrees F is an ideal temperature.
• A faulty valve on the keg itself may cause the Coupler to not seat well. Make sure all
connections are secure and tightened (not just tightened by hand). Ensure all O-rings and
Washers are intact and correctly placed. Confirm Directional Washer (#4) has a hole in it when
pinched between the fingers.
