Step 4 – The quality of a glass of beer
n
an excellent draft beer has the following characteristics:
1. a head of about 3 cms;
2. a head evenly distributed around the wall of the glass that adheres to
the surface of the beer;
3. a crystal clear colour, with bubbles of carbon dioxide escaping from the
sides and bottom of the glass;
4. a temperature of 4°C to 6°C (in the glass).
Note:
to prevent excessive foam from forming, always use a pre-chilled
BeerTender Keg and a clean glass rinsed in cold water.

In addition to routine cleaning, the BeerTender should be cleaned after daily
use and when you install a new BeerTender Keg.
