Why your Lindr beertap needs a higher CO₂ pressure

There is a lot going on when it comes to adjusting CO₂ pressure for your beertap and also a lot of myths. To pour a good glass of beer the right CO2 pressure is essential. We receive quiet often questions from clients about adjusting the right CO2 pressure for their beertap. With this blog we hope to give you some essential information to help you understand how to adjust the CO2 pressure for your beertap. The right CO2 pressure depends on several factors. First of all the type of beertap installation, diameter of the tubes and cooling coils, type of dispense tap, ambient temperature and the type of beer. All these factors can influence the necessary CO2 pressure.

For now we only focus on Lindr beertaps and beertap installations with the standard compensator tap, 3,8" tubes (9,5mm outside diameter) and 8mm stainless steel coils that Lindr uses by default on all their beertaps and beertap installations.

Diversity of beertaps with inbuild air compressor

Lindr has in their assortment of drycooler beertaps also beertaps with an inbuild air compressor. Beertaps with an inbuild air compressor can be recognised by the /K in their model name, for example Lindr Pygmy 25/K or Lindr Kontakt 40/K. The Lindr drycooler beertaps with inbuild air compressor are very popular. These beertaps can pour beer / beverages based on air pressure from the air compressor instead of CO₂. For rental companies this is very interesting as you don't need to rent out a CO₂ bottle anymore which makes it much more practical. In most cases the kegs that are used for pouring with the air compressor are keykeg kegs. Keykeg is a bag in keg system which means that oxygen doesn't get in contact with the beverage which leads to beverages with a longer shelf life.

A very big advantage of the beertaps with the inbuild air compressor is that the air compressor can be switched off and on manually.

Taps for beertaps

There are several kind of taps for your beertap installation. All of the taps have their own specifications and advantages. Very common kind of taps are chrome coloured taps, PVD/titanium coloured taps and stainless steel taps. Most common taps are ball-valve taps those taps work as a ball-valve. The taps taht work as a ball-valve can stay open during pouring.

Compensator taps

Lindr beertaps and dispense towers are standard equipped with compensator taps. The compesnator taps that Lindr uses are chrome coloured, PVD/totanium coloured or stainless steel. Big advantage of compesnator taps is that you can adjust the flow of your beverage. Due to the option of adjusting the flow of your beverage you can always pour a good quality beer or other beverage. Especially when pouring special beers the use of a compensator tap is recommended as special beers might react stronger on different ambient temperatures and CO₂ pressure.
