The Bottoms Up Draft Beer Dispenser should be rinsed out and cleaned on a daily basis in order to maintain proper performance. Be sure to add it to your closing duties to help avoid necessary build up, sticking nozzle posts, fruit flies, etc. It takes only a minute and goes along way to getting the most out of the system. DO NOT SOAK NOZZLES. Steps are as follows: 1. Rinse the drain rack with sanitation fluid 2. Tip the drain rack up 3. Remove nozzles by turning them counter clockwise 4. Dunk each nozzle in a non-chlorine sanitation fluid and move the nozzle head up and down on it's post one or twice. 5. Dunk/Rinse each nozzle in water. 5. Rinse/Pour sanitation fluid over the exposed valves and drain pan 6. Put nozzles back on dispenser by turning them clockwise until tight.

The Bottoms Up Draft Beer System provides the highest keg yield in the world at around 98% on average. If you aren't experiencing those types of numbers then here are some reasons as to why that might be. Nine times out of ten they are easy fixes. The most common reasons are as follows: 1. Under-pouring or Over-pouring due to misprogrammed size (changing over to a different type of beer can also cause this) / Timecode: 00:20 2. A recent beer line cleaning that got rid of some gunk that was impeding beer flow / Timecode: 00:57 3. A loose cup coupler that causes beer to leak out after being poured / Timecode: 01:40 4. A twisted o-ring on the cup coupler that causes beer to leak out after being poured / Timecode: 02:15 5. A missing case nut o-ring can cause beer to leak out after being poured / Timecode: 03:16 6. The metal ring at the bottom of a Bottoms Up vessel has been damaged / Timecode: 03:25 7. Slowly picking up a vessel off the dispenser. DON'T BE SCARED, PICK IT UP QUICKLY / Timecode: 04:05 8. Bleeding off an Empty Keg Detector for too long / Timecode: 04:21 9. A Leaky plunger head / Timecode: 04:45 10. Leakage when using taller vessels (32oz cups or pitchers) / Timecode: 05:30 11.

In this video we show you how to start up, prime out and program a pour size for a Bottoms Up Long Draw draft beer system with EKDs (empty keg detectors). We also show you what happens when you blow a keg and the EKDs are triggered. Start Up, Priming Lines and Programming a Size 1. Plug in and turn on each valve control pad 2. Each panel should be flashing, Empty Keg (this is a good thing) 3. In the Keg Room, turn the CO2 shut off valves from the regulators into the open position (assuming you have CO2 running) 4. Tap the first keg 5. Open the bleed off valve on the EKD allowing it to fill with beer and bringing the float sensor to the top. 4. Close the EKD bleed of valve OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR BEER 5. At the dispenser and on the valve you just tapped, press the prime button 6. Put the nozzle post for that valve into the down position and hold a cup over it. 7. With your other hand, press the start/stop button (bottoms up logo) 8. Beer will start pouring from the valve and might be foamy at first 9. Keep the beer pouring until the beer runs clear 10. Once clear, press the start/stop button to stop the flow of beer 11. Put the nozzle post in the up position and press the prime button to take it out of prime mode 12. Repeat steps 5-11 for additional lines. 13. Once you are ready to program a beer pour, press the manual button 13. Put a Bottoms Up vessel on the nozzle 14. Press and hold the size you want to program (S, M, L) until the beer starts to flow and then release holding the button 15. Once the beer reaches the desired level, hit the start/stop button. 16. Remove the vessel from the valve and press the Automatic button 17. You have now programmed that size and beer will fill automatically once placed on the valve. 18. Repeat steps 13-16 for additional valves and sizes. If the keg blows while pouring a beer, it will automatically stop and the empty keg lights on the control panel with start to flash. When this happens, do the following: 1. Go to the keg room and find the empty keg. 2. Verify that the EKD attached to that beer line is empty or that the float has dropped to the bottom of the EKD 3. Change the keg 4. Turn the EKD bleed off valve to the open position, filling the empty EKD with beer. 5. Once the beer float has reached the top of the EKD, close the bleed off valve. 6. Return to the valve and make sure the empty keg lights have stopped blinking. You are now ready to resume pouring the perfect beer.

In this video we explain how to use water to purge beer from a line before performing maintenance on a Bottoms Up Beer dispenser before performing maintenance.

Clean beer lines are integral to maintaining the quality of beer and the Bottoms Up Draft Beer System. If you aren't cleaning your beer lines on a regular basis (at least once a month) you can fall victim to issues such as yeast, mold, beer stones and bacteria in the beer you serve to your customers. On top of that, it can lead to malfunctions in the system itself. Luckily, cleaning a long draw (remote) glycol-cooled Bottoms Up Draft Beer System is a rather straight forward process. We even recommend doing away with a cleaning canister and just using a couple of 5 gallon buckets. Not that you can't use a canister, just why spend the money? Don't worry though, we go through both methods in this video. You'll need the following to get the job done: - Two 5 gallon buckets or one cleaning canister and one 5 gallon bucket. - Some dish soap - A scrub brush - A bottle brush or small toothbrush - Beer Line Cleaning Solution - Access to warm water Should you have any questions or need technical assistance please call us at (888) 618-0486.
