BeerTender setup guide

For the best results, wait until the thermometer icon turns green before pouring.

To speed up the process, always chill your keg in the fridge before loading it into the machine. You'll enjoy fresh draught beer sooner and achieve a better pour.

Always use a clean glass rinsed with cold water.

Even small traces of detergent, grease, or dust can affect foam quality and alter the taste of your beer.

Hold your glass at a 45-degree angle beneath the tap spout.

This creates the ideal balance between beer and foam while helping to produce a smooth, controlled pour.

Keeping the glass tilted, pull the handle down quickly and fully.

As the glass fills, gradually straighten it. Once you've reached the desired fill level, return the handle to its upright position.

Tip: Too much foam usually means the beer isn't cold enough yet or the glass contains impurities.

If the foam rises above the rim of the glass, remove the excess using a foam cutter.

A good foam head should be roughly the width of the foam cutter. It helps protect the beer, preserve carbonation, and retain aroma for a better drinking experience.

Tip: Many branded beer glasses include a fill line that indicates where the foam head should begin.
