What Is a Long-Draw Beer System?

Glycol-chilled systems are the most commonly used long-draw beer systems today. The odorless, tasteless, and colorless properties of propylene glycol help keep consumer goods at the appropriate temperature. When storing beverages for consumption, proper storage temperature is critical. Temperatures above 38 degrees Fahrenheit cause a beer’s natural carbonation to be released from suspension. When this happens, the pour will result in excess foaming, which reduces profits. Therefore, long-draw draft beer systems require dedicated walk-in coolers. Long-draw draft systems rely on specialized parts to push the draft beer from the keg to the draft beer tower at the correct temperature. The various components include:

Cooler: The cooler in which kegs are stored must always maintain a temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal pouring.
Glycol unit: This component is used as a chiller for long draw systems and helps to keep the product at the correct temperature until it reaches the customer’s glass. Glycol circulates throughout the system, looping from the unit and back.
Trunk line: Trunk lines are a collection of beer and glycol lines that are insulated and wrapped together as one. The number of draft lines you’re utilizing will determine the number of lines wrapped together and how long they need to be.
Gas system: The gas system delivers pressure in your long-draw draft system to provide a steady flow. Depending on the distance the beverage must travel, long-draw draft systems produce two ounces of liquid poured per second.
Cooler equipment: There are additional draft beer parts inside the cooler that will promote efficiency in your system, including fobs, pumps, couplers, and secondary regulators.
Draft beer tower: The component that’s displayed for customers to see, beer towers serve as an extension of the glycol unit. When installed properly, they help to maintain the optimal temperature for pouring.
