DO YOU REALLY CARE FOR
DRAFT BEER QUALITY?
DEDICATED TO
DRAFT QUALITY
DRAFT BEER IN SOUTHEAST ASIA • Draft beer share is low • No draft beer culture • Low number of specialists at breweries and wholesalers • Only few professional installation companies • Maintenance of installations is critical • Access to the right equipment is limited • Investments are often cost driven • Remote outlets • Challenging climate
BASIC TASKS OF A DISPENSE SYSTEM • Beer must stay unchanged • Flavor • CO2 content • Brightness/Turbidity • Correct beer temperature at the tap • Easy to handle
HOW TO ASSURE THE BEER QUALITY
INSIDE THE KEG
• Constant CO2 level
• Store the keg at constant temperatures
• Set the right working pressure
• Use the right gas
• Take care of your regulators!
• Only suitable gas quality
• Constant flavor and brightness
• Avoid contamination caused by reflux
• Keeping kegs cold clearly decreases
microbiological risks
HOW TO ASSURE THE BEER QUALITY
ON THE WAY FROM KEG TO THE TAP
Use the right components:
• All parts in contact with beer must be
stainless steel or suitable plastics
• Hygienic design of components
(no blind spots)
HOW TO ASSURE THE BEER QUALITY ON THE WAY FROM KEG TO THE TAP Beer tube and Python quality is essential! In Southeast Asia you still find: • Non food-grade „beer“ lines • Cheap tubing (PVC) • No active line cooling • Insulation materials from air conditioning systems • Inadequate insulated pythons

HOW TO ASSURE THE BEER QUALITY
ON THE WAY FROM KEG TO THE TAP
High temperatures and high humidity in Southeast Asia require
highest focus on beer line and python quality and installation:
• Preferably use multilayer tubing
• Cooling the beer lines will
• Reduce bacteria growth
• Reduce the formation of biofilm
• Keep the drinking temperature stable
• Choose pythons with adequate insulation (at least 25 mm)
• Be sure to seal the insulation to avoid condensation
• “Home-made” pythons are critical
• Passive insulation only will just delay negative processes
• Switching off coolers means microorganism growth
FLASH COOLING Benefits: • Higher Flexibility • No precooled kegs needed • No over-carbonization Remember to choose a model with sufficient capacity!
ROOM COOLING
Benefits:
• Keg, keg coupler and other equipment like fob-stops are
kept in a cold environment - Less microbiological hazard
• Beer lines can be shorter
• Beer temperature is stable
• Equilibrium pressure does not change
• Dispensing temperature is constantFLASH OR ROOM COOLING • Flash Cooling when kegs are emptied in max 3 days • Bigger Events (but remember capacity!) • Outlets with medium to high output of standard beers • Room Cooling for • Outlets with small to medium output • Specialty and unfiltered beers • Outlets with wide draft beer range (tap rooms) • Combinations
FLASH AND ROOM COOLING
CLEANING
• Regular cleaning is mandatory
• Dismantle components
• Cleaning intervalls are dependent
on many factors
• Is the staff really trained?
• Remember:
• A contaminated keg will cause reinfection
• Cleaning of an dispense sytems takes
at least half an hourEASY TO USE
• Same performance from first to last glass of the keg
• No foamy start
• Pressure and temperature are preset and fixed
• Easy to clean and to maintain
• But no system is „Idiot Proof“
• Future for small and medium size outlets:
• Cooled bar systems with one-way
beer lineTHE RIGHT KEG SIZE FOR SOUTHEAST ASIA: 20 LITER SLIM • Benefits: • Reduced weight • Small surface beer – gas • Faster cool down time • Ideal for special beers • Small footprint
KNOW HOW / TRAINING
• What is the specification of your draft beer?
• Is there any dispense „ritual“
• Who is responsible for draught beer quality?
• A skilled and motivated person needed
• Multiplicator function
• Influence on equipment purchase, marketing etc.
• Train your
• Technical service
• Sales representatives
• Outlet owners and staff
• Develop to-do and check listsDIGITAL SOLUTIONS – THE FUTURE?
THE MICRO MATIC CORE PLATFORM
• Basis: Monitoring of cooler/fridge performance based on
temperature measurements for (preventive) service.
• Quality: Adds temperature and pressure per line (and pressure
on the CO2 bottle) to monitor and ensure the quality of the
served beverage.
• Use: Adds consumption (flow/weight) and door
open/closed to monitor consumption and
consumption behavior.
• It is possible to add GPS/GSM
(location and mobile
network connection)DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
