Why is my beer too lively?
Here are the usual reasons why beer is too lively - and some tips for correcting the problem:
Possible Causes | Solution |
|---|---|
The beer is over-carbonated | The beer has had too much gas put in it at the brewery, so: call your brewer, who should send someone to de-gas the keg, until then, reduce or slow dispense at the tap |
The beer is being dispensed too quickly | Slow down dispense at the tap |
The beer lines may be dirty | See 'Keep Your Lines Clean' |
You may not be using the right gas mixture for the product | See 'Which Gas Should I Use' |
The beer is too warm | See 'The Importance of Temperature' |
