Why does my Kegerator pour slow?

If your beer is pouring slow and flat, the issue is most likely in the line.

So, as you pour, your beer will be less carbonated than it is in the keg.

How does a beer faucet work?

When you open the tap/faucet, beer flows out of the keg and into your glass due to a push from the CO2. The gas then fills the space where the beer was formerly housed, and that’s the “head space.” The CO2 fills the head space and maintains the pressure inside of the keg at the PSI set on your CO2 regulator.

How does a stout faucet work?

Nitrogen (stout) faucet: A stout faucet is essential to pouring that beautiful pint. The secret is an internal plate that has been drilled with small holes. Beer is forced through these holes on its way to your glass, which knocks carbon dioxide out of solution and produces the famous cascade and creamy head.
