5 COMMON WINE DRAFT SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS LONG DRAW WINE SYSTEM Kegs are located away from taps. Temperature controlled lines carry wine from kegs to taps. The long draw system ensures the wine arrives at the point of dispense at the correct temperature and is protected along the way. Long draw systems vary widely on installation complexity, time and cost. 304-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL COUPLER GLYCOL TRUNK LINE AND GLYCOL LINES 304-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL FAUCETS POWER PACK (COOLING SYSTEM) REGULATOR & GAS (75% NITROGEN / 25% CO2) WINE-GRADE LINES + PLUS FITTINGS, MISC PARTS, ETC. DIRECT DRAW WINE SYSTEM Kegs are located in refrigeration units beneath taps. Perfect for restaurants and bars that have space at, or very near, the point of dispense. The short draw maximizes loss and ensures best serving temperature. 304-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL FAUCETS 304-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL COUPLER REGULATOR & GAS (75% NITROGEN / 25% CO2) WINE-GRADE LINES + PLUS FITTINGS, MISC PARTS, ETC. RETROFIT YOUR BEER LINES FOR PREMIUM WINE ON TAP! An existing direct draw system retrofit requires: 1. Wine-certified Hardware. NO BEER PARTS! Any metal that touches wine needs an upgrade to 304 grade stainless steel (this includes your tower, faucets and couplers) 2. Wine Grade Tubing to prevent oxygen leaks, flavor transfer and off tastes. Lines and hardware need to be cleaned quarterly, or when a keg is changed or replaced. 3. A blend of 75% Nitrogen and 25% CO2 (AKA Guinness Gas or BevGas) should be used. For direct draw, a pressure setting of 4-7 PSI is all that s needed.

7 BEST PRACTICES STILL WINE & SAKE DISPENSING TEMPERATURES for Whites for Reds GAS 75% Nitrogen/ 25% CO2, AKA Beverage Gas or Guinness Gas, ensures that the wine tastes exactly as the winemaker intended, from the first pour to the last glass Pressure GAS PRESSURE Pressure gauge reading should be between 4-10 PSI Gas Tank STORAGE Store untapped kegs with other wines. Wine stays fresh tapped 3 months, untapped 12 months LINE CLEANING FREQUENCY Every 3 months, or at change of product DISPENSING TEMPERATURE F SPARKLING WINE EQUIPMENT Direct Draw Setup or mobile kegerator at low temperatures only **A long draw system will NOT work for sparkling wine Use a Flow Control Faucet (sold by every major draft parts supplier) to manage flow speed and foaming Use only wine-certified 304-grade Stainless Steel (No 303-grade steel or Beer Parts!) & 3/16 vinyl tubing with minimum length of 14ft GAS Use beverage grade CO2 gas only An additional CO2 regulator may be needed Note specific PSI per wine on keg cap % CO2 STORAGE Store sparkling wine kegs with other wines in chilled room. Sparkling wine in keg should be tapped within 12 months Once tapped it stays fresh up to 3 months LINE CLEANING FREQUENCY Every 3 months, or at change of product

8 ADJUSTMENTS FLOW OF WINE Wine coming out too fast or too slow? Here s how to adjust your wine flow: Locate the regulator (attached to the gas). Check upper gauge (0-60 psi). Using a flat head screw driver, twist the screw to the right to increase flow; twist left to decrease flow. REPLACING GAS If the left gauge of the regulator reads less than 300 psi, It s time to change the gas. Here s how: Turn off the gas by closing screw valve at the top of the tank. Unscrew the brass nut connecting the regulator to the tank LOW PRESSURE GAUGE CONNECTOR Pull old tank out & replace with a new one. Screw in the regulator and then turn on the tank. TROUBLESHOOTING FOLLOW THESE STEPS, THEN TEST FOR SUCCESS HIGH PRESSURE GAUGE SAFETY RELEASE VALVE ADJUSTING SCREW SHUT OFF/ BACKFLOW PREVENTER Make sure couplers are properly attached to kegs, handles pushed down & locked Are you out of wine? Might be time to change your keg... Confirm gas is turned on (see large valve at top of gas tank) Check that the red valve on gas is open (not perpendicular to gas line) Check the reading on left gauge of the regulator (attached to the gas tank behind the red wine) If it s less than 300 psi, change the gas tank (see Adjustments ) REGULATOR A regulator adjusts and controls the flow of gas from any source. Each regulator typically has at least one and often two pressure gauges that help in setting pressures and monitoring gas levels: one high-pressure gauge showing the tank or supply pressure, and a second low-pressure gauge showing what is being delivered to the keg.
