Tapping - a landlord's forte
A perfect beer with a perfect head: that is what your guests want when they order an Eichbaum. To make them content, simply follow two rules and get rid of an old prejudice. Not even a pilsner needs seven minutes! It would only get warm and lose carbon dioxide.
Let the half-filled glass rest for a minute to make the head settle.
Step 1
Put the rinsed glass beneath the tap at 45° and let the beer flow
down along its inner wall.
After a break, the head receives its final touch by opening and closing the tap fast.
Step 3
Now tap again but do not let the tap touch the beer to avoid air drive out the carbon dioxide.
Please note!
Please follow these rules:
- Never pre-tap!
- Never mix the contents of two glasses!
- Never use warm, dry glasses!
- Never use foam skimmers. These are unhygienic!
How to pour wheat beer
Hold the glass at 45° and pour slowly.
Rinse the glass under cold water.
Top up.
Rinse out the yeast with a rest of beer.
