Exam Focus
- Explain draft system operation as a service topic within Draft systems.
- Use specific evidence such as temperature, pressure, package condition, sanitation, equipment state, and observed service symptoms.
- Apply the topic to beer flavor, dispense quality, safety, and guest experience rather than repeating the heading alone.
Core knowledge
- Daily operation checks include beer temperature near 38 F / 3 C, gas supply, regulator setting, coupler engagement, FOB status, and faucet condition.
- No beer, foam, flat beer, and cloudy beer require different checks through gas, keg, restriction, temperature, product condition, and sanitation.
- Opening and closing routines should include leak checks, temperature logs, gas safety, and visible cleanliness.
Study application
Use an operating checklist before changing settings so troubleshooting follows the beer path from keg to faucet.
