Cold brew draft system is having issues (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Miyuki782
I figure with the combined knowledge of everyone here, someone will be able to aid. Our kegs have WAY too much pressure in them whenever we depressurize them, the tap will suddenly freeze up, though the keg is half full. I mean literally freeze up, as in we have to rub the lines with a hot rag for it to work. I checked the filter, and it was just full of foam - which is what the tap releases very slowly whenever this happens or when we change the keg. Our nitro will suddenly stop working, and the tap will just release cold brew. We’ve called it in so many times, to no avail. Does anyone have an idea as to what’s going on?

When the tech came out, they weren’t able to give any kind of guidance or explanation?

He’s usually really good, and he’s replaced a lot of parts and whatnot. But that’s all - he will say that this or that happened, which is why it wasn’t working but it’s all better now. He’ll leave, and we start having issues again a week later.

Well that’s annoying. And, he’s obviously not actually fixing anything if the problem continues… I’d try calling it in and requesting either a different tech, or thoroughly explain that the fixes being made aren’t working. Sorry I have no idea what’s actually wrong! My only thought is, are your partners connecting/disconnecting kegs properly?
Miyuki782 [OP] 1 points 2y ago
I only assume so, since all of the shifts know to do it and most of our baristas are recently trained by either myself or another shift.

That exhausts my guesses 😂 hope you figure it out soon, and the tech can actually fix it! Sounds like a nuisance for sure.
