OPERATION

Filling the Growler

1. Follow the directions under CLEANING 6 MAINTENANCE to thoroughly clean your growler before filling.
2. Your growler can be filled at your favorite local craft brewery, or with your own home brew.
3. When filling from a tap, we recommend using a down tube to fill the growler from the bottom up. This will reduce foaming and minimizes contact between the beer and oxygen.
4. Fill the growler with beer to the middle of the bottleneck.
   NOTE: There may be some foam on top of the beer. This is okay.

Dispensing from the Growler.

1. Ensure the Pressure Dial is turned to the OFF position by turning the dial all the way counter-clockwise.

2. Quickly and smoothly screw the threaded end of the CH Cartridge into the Regulator.
   NOTE: When the CO2 Cartridge has been pierced ,you should hear a short burst of CO2 escape from the cartridge.

3. Release any pressure in the growler by pulling the pressure relief valve.

4. Add CO2 to the growler by slowly turning the pressure dial clock. When you hear the CO2 begin to flow, pause to check the PSI on the pressure gauge. For best results, follow this chart to choose the best PSI for your beer
   Beer Style| Beer Style
   ---|---
   Stouts / Porters /
   Cream Ales / Barley Wines| 3-6PSI
   Brown Ales / Ambers / Reds| 5-10PSI
   Pale Ales / Wheat Beers / Other Ales| 7-12PSI
   Lagers / Pilsners| 12-15PSI

5. 1f the PSI is higher than you would like, turn the Pressure Gauge to the off position, then pull the Pressure Relief Valve to release some CO2 from the growler. Add CO2 to the growler again by slowly turning the pressure Dial clockwise until your desired PSI is reached.

6. When the Pressure Gauge is set to your desired PSI, it’s time to pour a beer!

Pouring Draft Beer

1. Start with a clean glass.

2. Hold the glass at a 45° about 1 inch below the Tap Faucet

3. Pull the Tap Handle forward to completely open the flow of beer.

4. Continue holding the glass 45°and allow the beer to flow down the side of the glass until the glass is about half full.

5. once the glass is half full, continue pouring while you gently tilt the glass upright and pour down the center of the glass ideally, this will create about a 1 inch head of foam as you finish the pour.

6. Quickly put the Tap Handle back into the original upright position.
   NOTE: If a beer pour foams more than expected, let the beer rest until head calms down and then finish your pour. This prevents beer waste.

7. If the beer does not have enough foam for your liking, slowly increase the 032 pressure until the desired PSI. DO NOT increase the CO2 pressure too quickly or your beer may dispense too quickly with too much foam. PRO TIP: When the regulator is open, CO2 will continue into the growler. This may result in a surplus of pressure flowing Into the growler, and may be a cause of foamy beer. If you experience foamy beer, fill the growler with CO2, then turn the Pressure Dial fully counter-clockwise to the OFF position. As more beer is dispensed add small amounts of CO2 into the growler to displace the dispensed beer, then turn the Pressure Dial back to OFF.

8. Lastly, drink up and enjoy!

Replacing Cot Cartridges

1. When the CO2 Cartridge has been emptied, it is time to replace it with a new one.

2. Ensure the Pressure Dial is turned OFF. Then remove the old CO2 Cartridge by turning counter-clockwise.
   PRO TIP: If your hands are sensitive to cold, avoid touching the old CO2 cartridge directly with your hand. Leftover CO2 gas escaping from the regulator outlet is very cold! Keep your hands and body away from the discharge.

3. Quickly and smoothly screw the threaded end of the new CO2 Cartridge into the Regulator. NOTE When the CO2 Cartridge has been pierced, you should hear a short burst of CO2 escape from the cartridge.

HELPFUL TIPS

Prevent Foamy Beer

• Chill the beer. warm beer is more likely to cause foamy beer. Allow your beer to chill in the refrigerator for several hours before consuming. The recommended temperature is 37°F.
• Pour into a clean glass. Residing in an unclean glass can disrupt the pour and taste of your beer. Follow the directions on Pouring Craft Beer to perfect your pour.
• Adjust down your CO2 pressure to prevent excess foam
• Do not shake or jostle the growler. Too much agitation of the growler can create foamy pours. If the growler has been shaken or jostled, allow the growler to rest and settle for about an hour before pouring.
• Foamy beer may also be caused by a faulty seal or connection between the growler and the main unit. Make sure all connections are secure, well tightened, and correctly attached.

Co2Regulator Knob

• When the regulator is open, CO2 will continue flowing into the growler. This may result in a surplus of pressure flowing into the growler, and may be a cause of foamy beer. If you experience foamy beer, simply fill the growler with CO2, then turn the Regulator Knob to the OFF position. As more beer is dispensed, add small amounts of CO2 into the growler to displace the dispensed beer, then turn the Regulator Knob back to OFF.

Storage

• While your growler is double
• walled and vacuum insulated to ensure your beverage stays cold for up to 24 hours, it also fits neatly into many refrigerator side door shelves. To save space in your refrigerator, remove the regulator and Tap Handle before placing it in your refrigerator.

CLEANINGS MAINTENANCE

DO NOT use soap or put the growler in a dishwasher.
After Each Use:

1. Remove the Growler Cap or Dispenser Cap, then pour out any extra beer (there shouldn’t be much)

2. Fill the growler about half way with warm tap water.

3. Place the palm of your hand over the mouth of the growler, then give it a good swirl and shake. Be careful to not shake water out of the mouth of the growler.

4. Repeat this two more times.

5. Unscrew the silicone tube from the bottom of the Dispenser Cap by twisting.

6. Fill the growler once more with warm water, then screw the Dispenser Cap (minus silicone tube) back onto the growler.

7. Dispense the warm water through the Tap Faucet
   • If you have CO2 remaining in the CO2 Cartridge, use the CO2 to dispense the warm water Simply open the Tap Handle and the water will dispense until the pressure drops to zero.
   • If there is no pressure left to dispense water, remove the regulator, then simply turn the growler upside down and open the Tap Handle to allow the water to run through the Tap Faucet.

8. Remove the Dispenser Cap and dump out any remaining water.

9. Rinse and drain warm water through the Tap Faucet two more times.

10. Soak the Dispenser Cap (minus regulator), Growler Cap and silicone tube in warm water.

11. Drain the growler upside down until completely dry. Allow all extra parts to completely dry before reassembling.

Deep Cleaning:

1. If your growler has any funky odors or foreign smells, fill your growler half way with hot water and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.

2. Screw the Dispenser Cap onto the growler, then shake vigorously for 30 seconds.

3. Dispense baking soda/water solution through the tap Faucet:
   • If you have CO2 remaining in the CO2 Cartridge, use the CO2 to dispense the solution. Simply open the Tap Handle and the solution will dispense until the pressure drops to zero. • If there is no pressure left to dispense the solution, remove the regulator, then simply turn the growler upside down and open the Tap Handle to allow the solution to run through the Tap Faucet.

4. Follow these steps two more times, once with hot water, then once with cold water. Be sure to swirl each rinse cycle to remove all leftover baking soda.
