BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B90 Home Beer.

I was a tiny worried when I read other people's reviews online about how their BeerTender had performed. Then again I did come across some lovely experiences people were having with their BeerTender. The short story is that it seems a lot of people have purchased the DraughtKeg and brought it home expecting to throw it in the BeerTender and start pouring beer with minimal foam. I think this is the first misconception.

After reading about the mistakes of others, I carefully planned out my strategy. I purchased my DraughtKeg a day before I planned to unveil my BeerTender as a Christmas gift to myself. This way the keg would have time to chill in my fridge and the foam buildup from the drive home would have time to settle over night.

Two times I opened up the BeerTender box I took some time to read through the instructions and double check my steps. When placing the keg in to the BeerTender I took care not to cause a buildup of foam by jerking the keg about. Smooth gentle movements with the keg to keep foam buildup to a minimal.

I then proceeded to grab my 16oz pilsner and rinse it (inside and out). Next I opened the spout (all the way down) while my glass had the 45* angle working for it and behold, beauty!

A lot of this is commonsense to the person who has poured beer from a keg or perhaps been to a bar and seen how bartenders pour beer. Commonsense folks...

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
