TEMPERATURE PARAMETERS
Temperature of many Keg Beers: In cooler: 36o F At faucet: 37o F - 39o F
1/2-bbl keg (36 F): if room is at 90 deg F, rise in temp of 20 deg F in 2 hours. A keg at 50 deg F delivered into a 36 deg F cold room
requires 3 days to equilbrate.
• Consistent Quality• Clean and brilliant• Full of condition• Palate - no off tastes• Good head formation• Lasting head retention

Gases Increase SolubilityWith Lowering Temperature
FOR EXAMPLE: at 60o F - 1 gallon of CO2 gas at atmospheric pressure will
dissolve in 1 gallon of beer. at 32o F - 1.71 gallons of CO2 gas at atmospheric pressure
will dissolve in 1 gallon of beer.If we have 1 gallon of CO2 in 1 gallon of beer, we say we
have 1 volume of CO2.

EQUILIBRIUMSee page 37, “Carbonation Dynamics” discussion!
DraughtQuality.orgMonday, October 6, 14

EQUILIBRIUMBeer now has 1 gallon of CO2 dissolved in it.The equilibrium condition is 1 volume CO2 in
solution at 0 PSI and 60o F.
See page 37, “Carbonation Dynamics” discussion!
DraughtQuality.orgMonday, October 6, 14

EQUILIBRIUMAdd more gas: CO2 is now being restrained in solution by 22
PSI pressure.The new equilibrium condition is 1 + 1.5 volume = 2.5
volume CO2 at 22 PSI and 60o F.

To use this chart: First find the beer temperature along the left hand vertical edge. Then read the pressureacross the top and where the two cross, read the volumes of CO2.

Determination of needed Mixed Gas Composition
1.Determine equilibrium absolute pressurea to maintain the proper level of CO2.
2.Determine the total absolute gas pressure to move the beer to the tap.
3.Divide the equilibrium absolute CO2 pressure by the total absolute gas pressure to obtain the CO2 portion of the gas.
aabsolute pressure = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure (i.e. 14.7 psi @ sea level; 10.1 psi @ 10,000 ft)

MIXED GAS
CO2 = 100% CO2ie. 10 PSI = 10 PSI of CO2
60N2 / 40 CO2 = 40% CO2ie. 10 PSI = 4 PSI of CO2
N2 is sparingly soluble(n.b.: ‘gauge pressure’ simplification)
