BeerTender setup guide: loading a 5L keg

1. Cool the keg

Refrigerate your keg for a minimum of 8-10 hours. Click one of the BeerTender service tubes into the neck. Ensure to use a new tube for each new keg, as any impurities in the tube could cause abnormal foaming and degrade the quality and taste of your beer. 

2. Load the keg

Slide the keg inside the machine, leaving the serving tube on top. To open the machine, simply push the part below the digital display and release: the cover will open.

3. Instal the serving tube

Swing the handle to the left, remove the tap spout cover, and clip the serving tube into the dispensing tube. Replace the tap spout cover.

4. Close the machine and pour

Close the lid and wait until the thermometer on the display turns green, indicating your beer is at the ideal serving temperature.

Your BeerTender is now ready.

How to serve draught beer with BeerTender

1. Wait until the beer is cold

Wait until the thermometer on the display turns green: the beer is now at the right temperature. To save time, put your kegs in the fridge before loading them into your BeerTender. That way your beer will be fresher, faster!

2. Rinse the glass

To get a perfect head, always use a clean glass rinsed in cold water. The slightest impurity in the glass could cause your beer to froth abnormally, reducing its quality and taste.

3. Tilt the glass

For a professional result, tilt your glass at 45° under the spout. This position gives you the perfect balance between beer and foam.

4. Serve

Keep your glass tilted and quickly pull the handle downwards. At the end of serving, raise your glass and pull the handle back up.TIP: If you have too much foam, your beer is not yet fresh enough or there are impurities in your glass.

5. Equalise the foam

If your foam is sticking out of the glass, remove the excess using a foam cutter. Perfect foam is about the width of the foam cutter. It protects the beer and allows it to retain all its aromas. TIP: If you're using a beer glass, a mark indicates where the foam neck should start.
