To maximize your kegged beer profits and to provide the best customer satisfaction a 16 oz pint glass should have a 1″ head. The head on a pint of beer increases aroma and provides a nice mouth feel for greater customer satisfaction. The head on a pint also saves approximately 1.5 oz of beer on each pint poured. A perfect pint equals maximum profit!Ask us about our marked pint glasses!
As a general rule of thumb, beer kegs should be stored at a consistent 38F. If warmer or colder beer dispense is desired, please contact one of our Beverage Dispense experts to advise you in how to accomplish this without causing flat or foamy beer. In most cases, mixed gas from Green AirSupply Nitrogen Separators can help compensate for temperatures outside the normal range.
The Craft Brewers Association prescribes that draught beer lines should be cleaned every two weeks. Proper beer line cleaning is essential for maintaining fresh and correct tasting draught beer. Improper cleaning frequency and/or cleaning methods can increase beer foam and will make it difficult to achieve the Perfect Pour. As your quality draught beer partner, Green Air Supply can assist you in finding reputable beer line cleaning companies in your local area.

Is the mix of 25% CO2/75% nitrogen right for my non-stout beers?
While 25% CO2 is perfect for your stout creamed beers it is absolutely not acceptable for any normal ale or lager type of beer. The result will be under carbonated or flat beer.
The perfect ratio of CO2/ nitrogen is customized for your exact draught beer system. Typically 50-85% CO2 will be the range for most long draw beer keg systems. Each beer system has its own ideal mix ratio to deliver the perfect pint. Green Air Supply’s Beer Quality Experts can calculate your ideal gas mix and assist you in how to increase your draught beer system profits.
Absolutely! The correct gas mix and gas pressures will dictate the profitability of your draught beer system. Improper gas types or mixes and incorrect gas pressures will cause undesirable outcomes including over-carbonation, foamy beer, flat beer and general customer dissatisfaction.
In most situations tuning a draught beer system to 2 oz per second at the beer faucet is a base line to start with.Adjust keg pressure such that a 16 oz pint is filled in 7-9 seconds. Generally speaking this will give you the correct keg pressure.
That gauge pressure can then be used to determine the correct gas blend. Call GAS for assistance anytime!
