Rooster's Mini Casks

Keep It Cool - Ideally, cask beer is kept between 11-13°C. It is not recommended to keep the beer ‘fridge cold’. Most fridges sit at about 4°C - these cold temperatures and will cause the live yeast in the beer to go dormant, resulting in your beer being flat. We suggest trying to find a cool corner of the house and keep it there.

Let It Settle - Mini casks have yeast in them which although it does lovely things to the beer, it is not that nice to drink. You need to let the cask settle for at least 24 hours before pouring from it. Don’t move it after you have let it settle or you will need to start all over again. So, let it settle in the same place you want to have it pouring.

Vent It - Once you have let it settle you now need to vent the cask, to do this, pull up the red ring-pull on top and turn the ventilation tap one-quarter in the direction of the arrow. Let it sit for another 30 minutes.

Pour It - Being careful not to disturb the cask pull out the dispensing tap on the front and turn (in the direction of the arrow) to pour.

TOP TIP - Pour the beer from a height into the glass if you want to get more head on your glass.

Close It Up - Once your glass is full make sure to close the ventilation tap on the top and the dispensing tap on the front so that no oxygen can get into the
cask.

Finish It Off – At the point where your mini cask is almost empty you may start to see some yeast sediment appearing in your glass. It is not advisable to drink this and the mini cask is now ‘empty’/finished.
