Gas & Dispense for Alcohol-Free Kegs
Technical guide to gas systems and dispense for alcohol-free and low-alcohol beer. Learn about CO2 vs mixed gas, foam control, temperature settings, and line length basics. Use our beer pressure calculator for precise settings.
Gas & Dispense Systems for Alcohol-Free Beer
Alcohol-free and low-alcohol beer use the same gas and dispense systems as standard beer. Here's what you need to know about CO2 vs mixed gas, foam control, temperature, and line length for perfect draught service.
CO2 vs Mixed Gas
Most alcohol-free and low-alcohol beers use CO2 gas, just like standard lagers. CO2 provides carbonation and pressure for dispensing. Mixed gas (nitrogen/CO2 blend) is typically only needed for stouts and some specialty beers - alcohol-free stouts may require mixed gas depending on the brand.
We'll match the gas system to your beer type. Most alcohol-free lagers and IPAs use standard CO2, while alcohol-free stouts may need mixed gas for the creamy head.
Key Considerations
- Foam Control: Proper gas pressure prevents excessive foam. Typically 10-15 PSI for most beers.
- Temperature: Serve at 2-4°C for optimal taste. Our cooling equipment maintains this.
- Line Length: Shorter lines (under 10m) work best for most setups. Longer lines may need higher pressure.
- Pressure Calculator: Use our beer pressure calculator for precise settings.
- Professional Setup: We handle all technical aspects during installation.
