1 DRAFT BEER DISPENSER ASSEMBLY & USE MANUAL - Stout Beers SAFETY FIRST! Read instructions completely Mixed gas can be dangerous. Flush chemical out of beer hose completely before re-tapping keg. Micro Matic has a policy of continuous improvement and reserves the right to change materials and specifications without notice D

2 WARNING EXPLANATION PLEASE READ BEFORE USE KEG OPERATION 1. NEVER exceed 60 P.S.I. 1. Most domestic draft beers are dispensed using a pressure of P.S.I. and most stout beers require a pressure of 38 P.S.I. Pressures above 50 P.S.I. will release the built-in pressure relief valve (PRV). 2. ALWAYS use a keg coupler and gas pressure regulator equipped with a pressure relief valve (PRV). 3. NEVER try to remove the valve in the keg. 2. If the regulator PRV failed, the keg coupler PRV will release preventing the mixed gas from reaching the keg. 3. Keg valve installation and removal tools are available only to breweries. It is important only trained professionals perform maintenance and installation of valves. Improper installation can result in possible injury. MIXED GAS 1. ALWAYS connect gas cylinder to regulator. NEVER connect gas cylinder directly to keg. 2. ALWAYS secure gas cylinder in an upright position. NEVER drop or throw gas cylinder. 3. ALWAYS ventilate area after a leak. 1. The gas in the cylinder is 2200 P.S.I. and the keg is built to only withstand pressure to 60 P.S.I. 2. Gas cylinders can be unstable with the regulator mounted. The Regulator may break off if the cylinder falls on it. Dropping the cylinder may break the cylinder valve off and release the pressurized gas. 3. If it becomes difficult to breathe and your head starts to ache, high levels of CO 2 (carbon dioxide) may be present in the area. LEAVE THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY. 1. ALWAYS use cleaning chemical with the manual cleaning bottle. 2. ALWAYS wear safety glasses to protect eyes and rubber gloves for skin protection. ALWAYS wash hands with soap and water after using chemical. 3. ALWAYS thoroughly rinse beer line and equipment. ALWAYS dispose of used chemical in accordance with federal and local regulations. CLEANING CHEMICAL Beer line cleaner (CFP-1) when mixed with water is a clear, odorless liquid containing sodium carbonate. 1. The manual cleaning bottle is the most effective method for using the beer line cleaner. It creates the turbulent flow necessary to release beer stone, bacteria, and yeast build up in the beer line. 2. Although CFP-1 is not caustic, the chemical can irritate eyes and skin. 3. To ensure the freshest beer taste, flush chemical from beer line, coupler and faucet completely with cold water before re-tapping keg. CALL physician or poison control center if product is swallowed. If ingested, drink large quantities of water to dilute chemical.

7 ASSEMBLY & USE MANUAL Nitrogen Regulator Mounting & Pressure Hose Connection F Where can I get a gas cylinder filled? To retain the taste the breweries intended, nitrogenous beers need to be dispensed with a 75% Nitrogen / 25% CO2 gas blend. This gas blend is not correct for ales and lagers, as it will change the CO2 content and thus the flavor of these beers. Cylinders for mixed gas can be purchased locally. Inquire with the store you are getting your kegs from for a local source, or look in your phone book under Gas or Welding supply stores. The gas cylinder and regulator are usually placed inside one of the corners of the refrigerator. The gas cylinder and regulator can be located outside, with the gas line brought through a drilled hole. It is important to store cylinders in an upright position, away from sources of heat, and secure with a chain or strap to prevent it from falling over.

8 KEGERATOR DOOR KIT - STOUT Keg, Temperature, Pressure, and Tapping Set Temperature: What temperature do I need to store draft beer at? Stout beers are best served at 42 F, and this temperature must be maintained all the way to the point of dispense The air temperature in the refrigerator can fluctuate greatly when the door is opened. Check the liquid temperature of the beer by placing a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it. Allow the water to chill for 24 hours, for an accurate reading of the liquid temperature. 42 with thermometer Additionally, if the beer is being dispensed away from the refrigerator, the temperature of the dispensed beer should be monitored. This is to make sure 42 F temperature is being maintained all the way to the point of dispense. To check the dispense temperature, simply pour a beer into glass and use a thermometer to read the temperature. 1. Open gas cylinder valve completely. 2. Set gas pressure clockwise. 3.

Shut-off valve E. Nitrogen Nut (use to connect to cylinder) F. High pressure gauge (pressure in cylinder) HOW TO SET REGULATOR OUTPUT PRESSURE F B C D E Once the regulator is securely attached to the gas cylinder: 1. Close the shut-off valve (D) on output port of the regulator. 2. Open the valve (G) on the gas cylinder completely. 3. Turn the regulator adjustment screw (B) clockwise until the desired pressure is shown on the output pressure gauge (A). 4. Open the shut-off valve (D) on output port of the regulator. NOTE: Pressure for Stout beers is set at 38 PSI E G HOW TO REPLACE AN EMPTY GAS CYLINDER 1. Close cylinder valve by turning clockwise G. 2. Close shut-off valve D. 3. Remove regulator from empty cylinder E. 4. With cylinder valve G in closed position, reattach regulator to cylinder at E. (Check condition of regulator stem gasket/o-ring.) 5. Open valve G all the way. (This is important because the cylinder valve seals in two places.) 6. Open shutoff valve D. 7. Check gauge pressure A (38 PSI) and adjust if necessary. Open Closed HOW MANY KEGS OF BEER CAN BE DISPENSED OUT OF A GAS CYLINDER? As a general rule of thumb, it takes about a 3/4 Lb of Nitrogen to dispense a 1/4 barrel of stout beer and a 1-1/2 Lb of mixed gas to dispense a 1/2 barrel of stout beer. The table below lists the approximate number of kegs dispensed from each size of gas cylinder. Cylinder Size 1/2 Barrels per Cylinder 5 pound cylinder 3 20 pound cylinder 13

12 KEGERATOR DOOR KIT How To Pour The Perfect Glass Of Stout Beer Quick Checklist: Temperature: 42º F Pressure: 38 PSI Clean: Before New Keg Ready to pour: Start with a beer clean glass that has been wetted in cold water. Pour Cream 1. Place the glass at a 45 angle, one inch below the faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Pull forward and down on the tap handle. 2. After the glass has reached 3/4 full, close the faucet completely in one quick motion. 3. Then place the glass on the bar counter and leave to settle. 4. Once the surge has settled open the faucet by pushing back and fill the glass to the brim by pouring the remaining beer straight into the middle of the glass. Close the faucet completely in one quick motion.
