How to change a keg (TO DO)

How to Replace a Keg – Combi-Slide Type

Check if the keg is empty

No beer or only foam = likely empty.

You can also lift the keg to feel its weight.

Disconnect the coupler

Pull the handle up. Slide the handle back (or forward depending on the system). Lift the tap head straight up off the keg.

Put away the empty keg

Gently put it aside. Do not shake or throw.

Put it in the storage (in the back for Hubble, on the container with empty kegs for Meteor)

Bring in a full keg

Place it upright and remove the protective seal.

Connect the coupler to the new keg. Lower the coupler straight onto the valve. Slide the handle back into lock position. Push the handle down until it clicks and locks in place.

Check the connection

You may hear a soft hiss. Draft briefly to confirm beer flows well.

Lower it onto the valve.

Draft a small amount to see if the beer pours cleanly.
