The perfect beer enjoyment with a dispensing column
Via a stainless steel or brass dispensing column, the chilled beer comes directly from a keg into the glass. Common are KEG kegsthe beer is pumped to the dispensing column by means of food-grade CO2 or a mixed gas. Many dispensing systems have a cooling system. It regulates the temperature of the beer. Tapping dissolves the carbon dioxide in the beer. This creates the typical foam crown on the beer glass and the taste can develop optimally.
The features of a high-quality dispensing tower
The workmanship plays an essential role in a stainless steel dispensing tower. A dispensing tower, whether made of stainless steel or any other material, must meet certain requirements. In our store you will find a wide selection of stainless steel or brass dispensing towers that meet the strict requirements. A high quality dispensing tower has no bends or screw connections. Such details pose the risk of dirt deposits. There are several variants of stainless steel or brass taps on the dispensing column, which are suitable for different purposes. A piston tap with a built-in compensator is suitable for tapping acidic and sugary beverages. Foaming is not desirable for colas and sodas.
A compensator tap has a nozzle system inside. It enables the foam-free tapping of beverages by means of a higher pressure. These taps have small adjustment levers on the outside. By operating these levers, the flow cross-section inside is changed. Such taps are also suitable for tapping wheat beer. A dispensing column with a tap is the simple variant among the dispensing systems. It is available in our store as a gooseneck or in the Flemish form. If you want to tap more than one type of beer from the dispenser, then our dispensers with two to six taps come into question Bridge dispensing towers represent the modern art of beer dispensing. The pipes are hidden in the bridge tubes made of brass or stainless steel.
Optics and functionality of the dispensing tower
There is a wide range of stainless steel, brass or copper beer dispensers for private and public use. When choosing a suitable dispensing tower, the appearance plays a similarly important role as functionality. Pay attention to the technical parameters. A good dispensing tower is built in such a way that the tracer cooling can be led to the tap. The accompanying cooling system consists of an insulated tube bundle and a cooling unit. Chilled water flows in the pipes. The tracer cooling system runs parallel to the beer line up to the dispensing column. It ensures that the optimum temperature of the beer is maintained until it flows into a glass. Tracer cooling is necessary when the beer line Beer line does not run through cooled areas. If the temperature of the beer is too high, premature carbonation will quickly occur. You will notice this process in the foam puffs that come out of the tap.
How to create the perfect head
Draw the perfect beer from the stainless steel or brass dispensing tower with this procedure:
● Rinse the glass with fresh, cold water
● Hold the glass at an angle under the tap of the dispensing tower
● Fill to two-thirds with beer and leave to stand
● Tap again until the glass is full
● After two to three minutes, the beer is ready to serve
The material of the dispensing tower
When choosing a dispensing tower, the material is important. Stainless steel, brass or copper each have their advantages and disadvantages. Many dispensing systems are made of brass or chrome-plated brass to create a stainless steel look. Unlike stainless steel, brass is less expensive. However, the material is less durable than stainless steel. A stainless steel dispenser is extremely durable. It is a pure material that is 100 percent lead-free. Highly crafted brass dispensers can keep up with stainless steel models. Brass taps have become popular because they are especially convincing for dispensers that are in continuous use. The advantages are that brass does not tend to rust. In contrast to simple taps made of hard plastic, brass taps do not chip. Regardless of whether you choose a stainless steel or brass dispensing tower, the equipment should be able to be disassembled. This will allow you to conveniently clean the individual parts. Hygiene is of great importance in the food industry, which is why you should clean the dispensing tower regularly.
